Today is supposed to be Shoulders, Abs, and Cardio. That's not gonna happen.

Instead we are celebrating the wife's birthday - not because it's her actual birthday, but because this is the only day off I have until after Thanksgiving. 12 hour shifts with a commute on either end simply don't leave you a lot of time after work for pleasantries, so it's better to do these things on a day off.

Problem lately is it's hard to get a day off, other than switching from days to nights, or vice-versa.

I didn't want wait even longer and have her birthday get overshadowed by the Thanksgiving holiday. So we celebrate today.

A rest while switching over to day shift tomorrow will also be good. Truth told, I'm feeling a little run down.
