Mike's been working a graveyard shift 3 nights a week, so lately life is not as regimented as I like it to be. It's hard to do chores when you have to be quiet during the day, and actually, since Mike only works the graveyard shift 3 nights, his sleep schedule is not normal either. I mean, he doesn't quite commit to sleeping during the day so he just naps whenever he feels like it at any time during the 24 hours. We never fold clothes anymore because the only flat surface to fold clothes on is the bed, and it seems that there is always someone in the bed since he sleeps at day and I sleep at night. He has to do 7 more shifts like this before he graduates. Since that will have to be over the next 3 weeks it seems like forever that this annoying schedule will continue.

We're getting a new dishwasher. Ours broke, it only fills with water for a few cycles, but not all of them. It broke a few weeks ago but the landlord isn't bringing a new one til tomorrow. That is also in part due to Mike's schedule. We had to have them only come when it wouldn't interrupt his sleep, so apparently it took several days before he and the landlord could even connect on the phone. I'm happy to get a new dishwasher. I hope it is quieter and faster than our current one.
