Today I went to work and came home, as I would on a normal Monday. But the big difference this evening was that Brandon was waiting for me when I arrived!
Last night was Brandon's last one on the night shift, at least for the next six months, and I am thrilled to have him home in the evenings, beginning with this one. I am, however, nervous about the change in routine. I'm not someone who likes it when my schedule gets thrown off, and adjusting to Brandon's new day shift (which means waking up at 4:30 am many mornings) is going to challenge me.
I am used to having Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights all to myself. It is on these nights that I catch up on chores, get my lesson-planning and grading done, write my blogs, and hang out with my girlfriends. It is on these nights that I get to control the remote, eat popcorn for dinner, and go to bed way too late. It is also on these nights that I have been missing Brandon for years.
So yes, the adjustment to a day schedule is going to be a challenge for both of us. But it is one I welcome with open arms, much the same way Brandon greeted me tonight when I walked in the door.
