Status:System is stable and has been running for 58 hours without faltering. I am tired, but not terribly sleepy. I have two more 24 hour shifts to do over the next 5 days and I fly home.
Plans:Finish my shift, head back to the hotel and get some sleep in a real bed.
Narrative:It has been a beautiful evening, a bit windy at times, but very nice otherwise.
I’ve managed to get about six hours sleep so I’m in pretty good shape. Took a shower, had a good breakfast and my hotel bed is looking terrific at the moment.
Slept for a good 6 hours, i am still tired but am considering wondering to the hotel bar. *Which will ground me to the hotel for the evening.
Had salmon for dinner, it was quite good. Got a 2x Expresso to go and I am back in my room writing in my blog. I often forget the pleasure of listening to music on these trips. I don’t turn on the TV in my room, most of the channels are in Spanish and there’s not usually anything good to watch. I had to take a bath yesterday to relax and shed the anxiety of being down here. I’ve loaded my library of music on a portable player. I can also play music through my phone since I am VPN’d back to the house network.
Tomorrow I think i am going to hang out in the parts MSK. There I can listen to music and concentrate on working my exit plans for the company. My boss arrives on Tuesday and i leave on Thursday. It will be interesting conversations on Wednesday because that is the last time they’ll see me in person. (I’ll be gone before they return to the USA.)
I decided to celebrate a little since it was after dark anyway, I ordered a double shot of Fleur de Caña 12 year rum. Superb! Listening to George Straight as a plus!
When my sinus is draining i cannot sleep flat, i have to be elevated enough that it can drain while i sleep. I have other issues like the pressure on my lower back and limited circulation in my legs, but the sinus is by far the tall pole in the tent.
Tomorrow:Back on shift, 2 of them to go. Working 24 on an 24 off is horrible on the body. You don’t recover before your our here on shift again so the days just add up. On top of that there are things we have to do on our days off that pulls away from resting as well.
