I'm in a weird mood and need a hug :(

[WindRavenX]

My SO switched to a 4:00AM-2:30PM shift at Target, and since he's getting used to this new shift, he fell (more like crashed) asleep at 6:30PM tonight. We usually stay up til 10PM together and then I let him fall asleep while I do other things in another room before climbing into bed with him til 3:30AM.

I feel very lonely tonight for some reason and I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a while, but I feel guilty for feeling like this-- I want him to be awake so we can hang out. I know that's selfish, but I'm just so damn lonely right now x(

1. Aw, of course!

:hug:

You're never alone with a plethora of crazies just a few mouse-clicks away!

[WindRavenX]

2. for real!

I guess I don't know how to handle having nothing to do...I don't fly back to Boston til the 13th, and all I've been doing is reading (Paradise Lost), playing video games, and eating an obscene amount of chocolate.

I just feel very vulnerable right now.

4. that's a really lonely feeling

it's not selfish, you're trying to adjust to something new

6. Aw, that's not selfish.

My husband and I are on different schedules 75% if the time since I do stand-up comedy and stuff and am running around at odd hours. It's so *not* selfish to want to spend time with him. It sucks his schedule is weird but maybe if it's going to be permanent (or semi-permanent) you'll be able to figure out a way to go to bed around midnight.

7. does it get easier?

Since I won't be moving in with him (or seeing him again til at least March), it'll probably work out better when I'm not around-- I'm a major snuggle addict x(

[noshenanigans]

8. oh, snuggles.

Hmm.. I don't know if it "gets easier" so much as you just get used to it. If the snuggles are a big thing for you then I would reccommend just aquiescing to his schedule so far as that goes, and if you can go back to sleep :) You could also go snuggle with him for a little while when he goes to bed and then go back to whatever you were doing and go to bed later. I do that a lot.

9. I think that's what's going to happen

After I graduate and get a "real" job, I'll probably being going to bed before 3AM ;)

[noshenanigans]

10. I hear ya..

My husband has a "real job" and I live off an accident settlement and do comedy until I get one of those weird "real job" things... that seems to make a big difference!

11. Don't feel guilty, WindRavenX.

Change is often difficult to adjust to; my sister went through that a few years ago when my BIL went to the day shift after working evenings for years. She eventually adjusted, but she went through some stuff before she got there.

In the meantime, though, here are some hugs for you. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

12. Hugs from me! I know how you feel. I sometimes worked some VERY

odd hours on the radio, especially morning drive (up at 3:30, to the newsroom by 4:30, on the air at 6), to the point where my husband was pretty much a lump in the bed. We had to wait til weekends to have a "normal" schedule. Sigh...
