I will be taking a break from school this quarter. The only class available is Business Document Processing 101. Turns out it is a KEYBOARDING class...LOL! Like I need that! So I dropped it! I will have to test out, but I have no doubt I can type 30 wpm. It will be kind of nice not to go this time. I will start back next quarter.
More later!
Ok, so I aced the final in my Human Disease class. It was open book, but I was still worried. I ended up with an 85 B for final grade. Not too shabby, I don't think. 3 more quarters and I will be done. Next quarter starts Monday, Sept 29th...I have to take "Business Document Processing", which I think is a long way to say keyboarding. I have no idea why I have to take this, as I have been typing all my life, and working on computer for at least half of my life. Oh well, Hope is paying, so I guess I will take it and be happy. More later.....I have an awful headache......
Here I am.....49 years old! What in the world happened? LOL!!! It is hard to believe. I had a pretty nice day tho. Me and the boys went up to my folks for a cookout and cake and ice cream. My brother and his family and my stepsister and her husband came. Miss Emily, my 7 year old niece, made me a beautiful birthday card. And the boys got me a new DVD, "1408". It is supposed to be very scary....we will probably watch it next weekend.
Also new....we got a new kitten yesterday. She is adorable, silvery grey, with grey green eyes. She is 8 weeks old and her name is Lucy. Dylan is in love. He and Logan both have wanted a pet forever, and everyone finally agreed it was a good idea. Dylan is having a little bit of trouble staying settled down, and I think a cat might help. I have seen a more tender side of him since yesterday.
Another good note....I just found out that my final in Human Disease class is going to be open book. How great is that! It's a week from Wednesday, so I should be able to study enough to do pretty well on it. More later.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Me and Tack...this was a very cool aquarium at the Atlantis, on Nassau.
Me....Queen for a moment!

First night at dinner, very choppy seas....
Pulling into port
Wow! What a big ship!
Key WestPop called last night to tell me his sister Betty has cancer. She went to the doctor because of blood in her stool. They operated yesterday, and it has spread to her liver. Apparently there is not much that can be done for her. Pop is very sad, and I am sad for him. Too much death.........
I guess I am going to have to get used to death again. A couple of weeks ago, a lady I worked with at a previous job went home from work on a Friday afternoon and shot herself in the heart. She was only a couple of years older than me. She left a husband, a daughter, a grandchild......why? I do not understand. I do pray she was saved and is in heaven, out of whatever misery she was suffering. Funny how you never know what is going on with people really.
Then on Wednesday morning, I got a call from another old friend. We had not talked in a pretty good while, and somehow I knew something was wrong. She was calling to tell me that the husband of another friend had died that morning. He went to work (at the Medical Center), was walking across the parking lot and felt sick. He apparently died in the ER, from a heart attack. He had just turned 53. He was already suffering with diabetes, on dialysis, but still. He left a wife, my friend, and a 14 year old son. There were 4 of us at BCBS of GA that were pregnant at the same time. I think I delivered first, in January of 94, 7 weeks early. I think Sandy was next, then Cassandra (whose husband just died), and then Leslie. I went to the funeral home yesterday after work. It was just so sad. Cassandra was holding up pretty well, and so was Cory. It just makes you feel so helpless. I know that death is part of life, and that being in heaven with Jesus and our Father will be glorious, but it still makes me feel soooo sad.

On a lighter note, we made it through the second week of school. Dylan stayed home one day....a little bit of stomach trouble. I think it was probably nerves. He has had a hard time finding his way around. I took a map they gave him and highlighted all his classes, along with his locker and the exit for getting to the bus. I think that will help.
Logan then broke his glasses. Thank God for Pop. He paid for a spare pair till we go to his appt next month. And Logan, bless his heart, is not fussing too bad about the frames. They are gold, but they don't look too bad. Logan is so cute, I don't think it would matter what the frames looked like.
