Bedtime Difficulties

I've been working at my new job for a few weeks now and love it a lot. It is taking some getting used to it but I think that in the long run it will definitely be worthwhile. The only problem is that it starts at 8:30 am and, because of where Master and I live, it's about a 30 minute commute.

In the grand scheme of things, that isn't that bad. I know other people who live in large cities who have commutes that are quite a bit longer than mine. Some people spend several hours every day on the road getting to work and home again. The only thing is, that means that I have to leave the house at about 7:40. I'm getting up earlier than usual every morning.

I'm someone who physically needs a lot of sleep. I find it hard to wake up in the morning and difficult to stay awake past a certain time each night. Narcolepsy runs in my family and I think I might have a touch of it. Not enough to interfere with driving, mind you, but when I am tired it is definitely hard to stay awake.

I really, really want to for a number of reasons. One is that I miss the bedtime kneeling routine that Master and I try to adhere to. Master is very kind. When I am staggering off to bed and am half-conscious and not completely aware of my surroundings he is kind enough not to make me kneel but I miss it quite a bit.

Hopefully, over time, my body will adjust to the new routine and Master and I can get back to where we were before. I think that both he and I will both appreciate it in the long run.
