Oh, good grief

I am going to go out of my everlivin' mind if the letter doesn't get
here soon!!

What letter, you may ask? Why, the letter that will tell me whether or
not I get to start the last part of my RN program in January or not! :)

I was told when I applied to the program that I would find out toward
the latter part of November and I'm probably hurrying it, thinking that
letters should go out before Thanksgiving break. So, like an expectant
dad in the waiting room, I pace in front of the mailbox most afternoons
I'm home and dash for the 'box as soon as I get home from work. This
will dictate what classes I will take in January. It will either be

Some nursing class with clinical

OR

Microbiology and possibly Nutrition and Developmental Psychology. (The
last 2 I may not have to retake since I took them in LPN school.)
Registration is already open, so I want to get on with it and get
registered for everything as early as I can get moving.

Now it's just the classic hurry up and wait. It's a good thing I'm a
patient person. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Getting back to basics.

It has been, without a doubt, a challenging summer here so far. Oh, we're all healthy and happy, etc., except for one thing. We kill appliances. First, the hot water heater thought it required intensive care i.e. a new element. That necessitated several service calls before it was fixed. Then the fan motor on our water source heat pump went out. A week later. In the middle of hot, humid, mid-summer Mid-Missouri. Within the first 2 hours of the first visit with the second company we consulted, we had a fan motor ordered and a deal made. They came out, installed and we've been good to go since Monday. Did I forget to mention the dead dryer? That gave it up the day before Jim left for a 9-day backpacking trip in CO. The replacement "is on the way in 5-7 days" so Jim put a clothesline up for me yesterday and I used it for the first time today. Now I feel all earthmothery and slightly crunchy, which isn't a bad way to feel at all. I just didn't know a clothesline ...

Happy Birthday

Waking up in the morning is a little different these days. As I said to Jim on Wednesday evening as we were preparing for bed, "I woke up this morning okay, now I'm going to bed as with cancer." Caregiver becomes patient. Life has changed. I have read others talk about "life before/after" as being two different concepts and wondered if it really felt that demarcated, but the answer for me, at least for now, is yes. The life in which I took my health (and sanity?) for granted is done, now it's time to sit up and pay attention. Half-time is over, it's time to play serious ball. This morning I received a lovely slap upside the head that was sorely needed. Miss Peyton  turns 7 today. Four years ago Peyton was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is now a survivor. To my eye there are no physical reminders of what Peyton went through, but as I looked at her birthday pictures today I could hear her tell me to get over myself, to get on with it a...
