School Daze

The last couple of days have been horrible for school work. I've been distracted and can't concentrate worth a dang for obvious reasons. I'm finally crawling out from under the sudden onslaught of assignment this week. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I also want to thank everyone for the well wish about my mother. As soon as we know more, I'll pass it along. Thanks so much for your kind words and support. They really mean a lot to me.

Unknown Mass Identified

The results froM my mother's biopsy came back positive for cancer. She meets with the doctor Friday to discuss a treatment plan. I hope surgery will be enough and she can skip the chemo this time around. She seems to be in good spirits about it, though she really hates to go through all that again. My heart breaks for her. If I could take her place I would do it in a second. The stress of learning about it just before school this morning and all the crap to catch up because of Monday's snow day has given me a headache. I just want to weep.

He would make it all better!

Instructor Lacking

Wow, what an evening! One class in particular is driving me nuts at the moment. The online instructor must be an idiot. She post stuff for us to do, but doesn't check the links to see if they work or gives us incomplete directions; she gives us team projects to do, but doesn't assign us to teams; changes the date the assignments are due in an email without changing it on the web page; she takes forever to grade work submitted; she never has answered any question I've sent her directly. She is driving me crazy!!! I have no idea if I have a project due tonight or not. I received the email blast, but the information on the page hasn't changed and it is confusing as to what she is referring to. I hurriedly did both assignments to send to "team members" that she finally told us she wanted us to chose who to work with. It is frustrating!!! This is the reason I hate on-line classes. This is the reason I dropped out of this class before. The exact same problems have not been fixed in 6 months!! If this wasn't required for my certificate, I'd tell her to fuck off!!!!

I feel better now.

What's Happening?

School was cancelled today. Why, I have no clue. Yesterday was warm enough to clear the roads of any remaining snow or ice. A delay I could understand since it would refreeze overnight, but whatever. I stayed home and did nothing, which isn't that uncommon.

I can tell my attitude is changing toward Jeff. I'm not as enthralled as I once was. Not that I'm giving up, just being a bit more realistic. As you can tell, the poetry about love and such isn't as prevalent as before. He is still a super nice fellow that makes me tingle, but I have other things to worry about. It will happen when it is suppose to in it's own time.

Waiting to get the results of my mother's biopsy is taking forever. I've been weighted down with that this weekend. Wednesday can not get here quick enough. I'm hoping for the best and planning for the worst, just in case. My mother seems to be dealing with okay, so I'm trying to follow her lead. Don't wanna stress her out by me being freaked out about it, especially when it is still so uncertain.

Here's Your Sign

It can't be said often enough.

First Snow

Well, we had the first snow/ice/sleet of the year. About an inch and a half of the stuff. It is frozen solid this morning. I took Izzy out this morning and neither of us could hardly break through the crust. He was slipping trying to get traction. LOL. It was just too funny. I had to take a garden hoe to the car windows and hood. It was so thick and hard, my ice scraper would even penetrate it, much less move it! Thankfully, the store across the street was open to day. I walked across, slipping and sliding a wee bit to pick up some soda and chocolate (the necessities). I couldn't budge the car up my slippery little driveway. Depending on the conditions Monday morning, I'm not certain if I will venture to to the Polkton campus for class. I'm very hesitant to try that 50 mile round trip if the road isn't clear. I heard in town the roads aren't that bad, but getting into town is the problem. Hope everyone has a safe and warm weekend!

Are You A Sheep?

You Are Sometimes a Sheep

You don't think there is anything wrong with going with the flow, and that includes following the crowd. You enjoy getting along with other people, and if possible, you prefer not to make waves. However, you aren't the type of person to follow anyone blindly. You'll stand up for what's important. You don't waste your energy on fighting battles that don't matter. But when something important is on the line, you'll always stand your ground.

Are You A Brainiac?

You Are a Total Brainiac

You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident. You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you. You've got the brains to do anything you want. It's possible you end up doing everything you want.

Gettin' ready for......

Unknown Mass

My mother has been a breast cancer survivor for 15 years. She went for her yearly mammogram this afternoon. All have been clear, except today. It appears there is a mass that is not suppose to be there. It couldn't be determined if it was scar tissue from her surgery or lymph nodes. Tomorrow, she goes for a biopsy to see if the cancer has returned. She is now 70, and not as strong as she once was. It concerns me if it is cancerous and she has to undergo surgery and chemo again. I'm worried she may not make it this time. Of course, we need to know the results of the biopsy first, before tearing off on a tangent.

Wednesday Tease

The weekend is looking

pretty good about now!

My View

I've been half heartily following the Prop 8 trial, but by all accounts, I can see no other outcome but to over turn it. Maybe I'm biased or just over optimistic, or even have too much faith that the judges will do the right thing. I'm hoping for the best and planning for the worst. Anyone who believes in separation of church and state, that is sworn to uphold the law whether it contradicts their personal beliefs or not, can plainly see by this trial, that there is no real choice but to overturn Prop 8. Not to do so, would undermine everything this country is suppose to stand for and go against the Constitution itself. I can only hope, pray, wish, dream that court will do the right thing for my people.

Today in School

Well the first test of the semester in my business class is over. I thought I had done a very good job of it. I passed with a 90. Still an "A", but it could have been a 100, if I had read the two questions I missed more closely. I hate it when I do something so stupid as that. Oh well, there are other test to bring it up. I'll just have to pay closer attention next time. Live and learn.

Forever Yours

Coddled in your warmth.

Dreams are much sweeter.

Your scent subdues me.

Embraced within your arms.

Soft kisses upon my shoulder.

Chills down my spine.

Wrapped tightly under your spell.

Mesmerized and speechless.

Forever yours.

Here and ever after.
