Starting a new lifestyle

Did you ever get out of bed one day and decide you've been sleepwalking through life in a constant state of exhaustion?  It happened to me.

I've spent over 5 years working the overnight shift in my office -- until recently.  I've turned the calendar, realizing that I can't really put my finger on what I've done from one month to the next.  But I've been pushed out of my overnight shift back to the daylight.

I'm left my vampire life behind and now I am going to try to put my life together again.  It's not easy.

Over 5 years of hitting the vending machine for a snack because it wasn't safe to go out in the middle of the night for healthy food (as if ANYONE can call Denny's healthy!).  A drink in the middle of the night out of the machine is a coke, because that little bit of caffeine can keep you up until your shift ends.  Add the normal changes the passing of the years can take on your body, and I'm a mess!  

But now, my sun has come out!  Not only am I working more normal hours, but my job is now virtual.  My access to the snack machine and the soda machine has been cut off.  What's a woman to do?  It's time for a lifestyle change!

Since I was a teen I've enjoyed cooking.  The one think that passed the time away in those odd hours I was trying to stay awake was often the food network.  So now in my heightened awareness, I realize that I know a lot more about cooking than I used to.  The question is, what to do about it?

I've starting this blog to share some of my new adventures in the next few weeks.  I hope you join me in my story!
