25 years is a long time to go without smoking weed, I must say.

I have been told (cough, cough) the stuff of today is so tasty and makes many a one hit wonder the norm!

I agree!!!!! I worked almost three decades doing whack hours. I have a strong early morning to rise circadian rhythm that I had to trick all the time. That part really was a bummer! Nothing like just getting home from a 12 hour shift and you are watching the sun rise!

That and having to explain to people if you were a feeder driver that there is no such thing as Friday night!

Being able to help at school with my kids was a one of the trade off's!

I dreaded Monday night and coming back from a vacation cause I would not go to bed Saturday morning after work and sleep sat and sun night and just take a short nap on Monday.

wanted to be there for the kids. usually grouchy anyways. graveyard shift really screws you up. Now I can to bed around 9-10 pm and am so grateful.

also can have a drink anytime I want without looking at a clock. don't even wear a watch anymore.

half the time don't even know what day it is unless it's trash day..

Why would you not smoke weed for 25 years?

Leave the alarm turned off and sleep until noon if you want!

 

[Been In Brown Too Long]

Live life where the only reason I ever set an alarm is if I happen to have an early tee time.
