My last visit to Dr. R led to a change in sleep medication, which seems to be helping. I can go without it on the weekends, when no one cares what time I show up, but during the week, there's no way--I'm back on the Deficit Train unless I have help.
This morning I was bright-eyed after the second decent night's sleep. Of course, I now feel like it's the middle of the night at 8 pm, but at least I'm getting acclimated to the early work schedule again.
Today is all-day class at the local National Safety Council. I'm going to get my Advanced Safety Certification before the end of next year so I have credentials to go along with my abilities. Occupational Safety is near and dear to my heart, and if I'm going to do any kind of certification program, this makes the most sense.
There's another class in December (and, I hope, one in November), and then I'll need to take 2 four-day courses and at least one more one-day course next year. Then I can take the exams. The information from these classes will make me more effective at my job, and the certification may provide the means for advancement.
It was nice to be able to sleep in (until 7 am!). The class doesn't start until 9 am, and its location is only about 5 miles away from home, so it won't take long to get there.
