I am sometimes getting enough sleep. We had a busy weekend, throwing a Croning Party and Ritual for one of Jevim&#8217;s long-time friends on Saturday and a Birthday Party for our daughter, Wraithe, yesterday (today is her birthday, she is 8). And now I had to get up early, I have all-day class through Thursday. I don&#8217;t sleep well without my honey next to me, so I mostly lay in bed mostly awake from 9:30 until about 1 when my sweetie finally came to bed.

This is the last step of my training, except for annual recerts and such.<\/p>\n<p>I have been wearing out at work. I wanted to work 20 hours per week, and got pushed up to 25. I think I need to work 4 5-hour days, not 5 4-hour days, and have asked my supervisor for that.

At age 60. I bit off more than I can chew, but I&#8217;m chewing frantically. Hard to get everything you always wanted all at once, makes for a difficult adjustment, especially if you can&#8217;t always get enough sleep&#8230; and have the issues I have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<\/p>\n<p>Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things still move ahead.
