Best laid plans of mice… If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plan… Murphy's Law #204…

I'm an hour and a half behind schedule this morning because I was nice enough to agree to dog sit for my niece while she is out of town for the weekend. At 4am our little Duke decided he needed to go outside. I turned on the porch light, opened the back door, took one step and something stung me under my right eye. I have no idea what it was. I am allergic to bees and any kind of wasp or anything in the insect family. So I start screaming, everyone in the house wakes up. Husband gives me a shot with the Epi-pen just in case and I took two Benadryl. I woke up an hour and a half late, my right eye is swollen shut and the Benadryl is making me sleepy! To add insult to injury, the sting is right under the nose piece of my glasses and pressing on it. This is NOT starting out to be a good day. But it is going to get better because I can't have, no, won't have, this interfere with my goals for the day. I have my uncomfortable chair, my crappy pencils and my light blue paper. I'm almost finished with my morning Coke (I don't drink coffee) and as soon as I'm finished waking up, I am going to get started. Maybe all of the bad crap is going to happen while I'm studying so that test day can go well!

@ Kricket – What a morning wake up call!!

I'm on my third cup of coffee and hubby's cleaning the house, since he won't let me hire someone and he invited friends over tonight. HAHA lucky him. I locked myself in my room and if there's any interference I'm going to the library. The only break I have planned is to go get my nails done at 4 o'clock. Until then it's MCQ crank out time!!

@kricket

Thank you yankee because I don't own any red undies! I think my husband would start to get nervous if I told him that I had to buy red underwear because I read on this message board that wearing red undies would bring you luck.

I am in! I am back at this crazy journey! I took a break to see if this is something I really want to pursue and it really is…and the only way I am going to do this is really focusing on just studying, yes I still have to work but other than that everything else can be put on the back burner. Today I am making a plan of attack, I have FAR scheduled for the end of April and I plan on AUD the end of May. I haven't passed these tests only due to a lack of effort I feel, I have to take total responsibility for that, so I am just going to try to think about how wonderful it would be to finally tell people I passed and see if that can keep my momentum up!

@Kricket – I am very inspired by you, I cannot believe you are going to tackle two tests in one day but I think you will do amazing, you are really putting in all the effort that you can and that is what it takes!

Good luck to all who are cramming like maniacs the weekend before their tests next week! You can do this!!

Thanks TXCPAGAL12 – I look like Rocky because my eye is swollen and now it's turning black but I can finally see out of it. I had a very productive day despite the forces of the universe that are conspiring against me! I just keep telling myself that with a little luck, a lot of hard work and the grace of God, tomorrow will be the last day of my life that I have to spend answering MCQ's all day long! I have grown to hate the letters A, B, C and D. I don't even want to watch Sesame Street! I'm turning in early tonight. 11pm is early, right?

It's cliche, but be yourself – they're out there.

She approached me at the library LOL. Definitely my type, blonde and about an inch or two shorter than me 😀

Library is good place to meet someone. I met my husband at the bar in Niagara Falls, lol!!! 13 years and 2 kids later here we are.
