Thanks!!! It was a fun day of hanging out with friends and watching basketball but my poor bracket went up in smoke last night.
Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I posted :/ Sorry guys. Happy belated birthdays!
Honestly, I've been struggling. I never get any sleep. It's rough. I'm functioning, but barely. I make it through work and I crash. I don't feel safe driving to/from work, but I have no choice. I've had a lot of labs done, and I've had sleep tests done, but nothing conclusive. Now my doctor wants to refer me to psychiatry to see if there's some other type of sleep disorder I might have. She even suggested integrative medicine, which I learned was traditional and nontraditional medicine like acupuncture and massage. I am forgetting things, falling asleep sitting in my chair, I am always fatigued. I've struggled with sleep for years now, but not to this extent. It's scary not knowing what's going on.
I was also promoted. I'm a supervisor to two people in my tiny little department of 3. That is also a challenge. It is mostly a challenge because one of the people I'm supervising is extremely slow moving and doesn't seem to understand how to multitask and be more efficient. I don't really know how to encourage her. I've tried a few tactics, but neither have worked so far. At least one of the girls is willing and eager to learn, and is receptive. I'm not sure how the slow one is going to do once we get more samples in. I'm a mercury analyst, now mercury lead and scientist I (which means lead scientist), and we're going to be getting methyl mercury in and that's a whole new beast than what we do now, and if this person can't catch on and become more efficient in tests she's done for 20 years, and become more receptive to being more efficient and learning how to do things differently, than I don't know how she's going to do with methyl mercury.
Anyway, I've been around. When I have energy, I'm usually playing wow and just collecting hearts and kissing randos in between loading screens and flying places. I hope everyone's doing well. I will try to post and participate more.

Good to see you and sorry that you've been struggling. Congrats on the promotion though! Hope you get/find solutions to both situations.
And, very belated birthdays and !
It's been a busy month for me with my dog Buffy having some health issues and several vet appointments (she's mostly better now), and then also Tom's birthday a few days ago. I don't know where the month has gone!
Hope everyone is doing well!
