Small Picture Big Picture
I started this post last night but didn’t finish due to tiredness. My day so far has been really lazy achy still no ambition no energy. Not sure if it is due to coming down fighting bug my husband had last week or something else. Time to see a doctor but not comfortable with one I have been going to and such a pain looking for a new one. I am thinking about seeing the doctor my son used to go to since he was pretty good. Next week is set aside for going to community college to confirm my math class (see below for details on degree completion). That should only take one day but then I am not sure about cost of doctor visit since our insurance has changed and payment could be all out-of-pocket so that could be a problem. I am watching reruns of Criminal Minds which is something I could do all day, Love This Show. That is part of the small picture, big picture is beyond my ability right now.
Today was quite interesting to say the least. First the small picture, physically I felt like crap. Achy all over head too cold tired no appetite. None of the things I wanted to do got done well did get groceries so that was one thing on my list. House cleaning not, other shopping not, Borders Book store not, but tomorrow is better day to go to store closing so blessing in disguise. Car washed not and son’s laundry not. It may seem like a big list of things to do but most of them would have should have been easy and almost done with little actual physical exertion on my part. The things that required going some where were the hardest to do but I still could have stuck clothes in the washer and dryer then just put them on the bed to put away later or have him put away when he comes home in a week or so. Yes he is coming home for spring break and bringing his GF. She is a pretty girl who goes to SCAD and is almost finished with her graduate degree in film. He/they called last night to ask if his bed was available, lol I joked that I would have to kick the renter out, but yes and yes he could bring Chel with him. They are both adults and sharing a bed is really no big deal to me. His stepdad is not so happy but too bad. Son is a little unsure about the entire thing since this is only second GF he has had and her and I have not met so this is a big deal bringing her to his home. She wanted to go somewhere new and so did he but the money issue was a problem and at least here they have a place to stay and food for free and he can take her to places he knows. She has never been to Vegas so will be new for her and son needs to recoup from tough quarter at school. He still is not sure about this summer so might be only visit until Christmas. By then she will be out of school and not sure where she will be working or living. I am looking forward to having him home and since I am not working will get to spend time with him and maybe both of them. I do know I will be driving them to some places but they can also take a bus or cab downtown to the strip and he has friends here that have cars. That is the next big thing I am trying to help him with getting his own car.
On the big picture front, I heard back from AV College about the idiotic reading assessment test they told me I would have to take to get my diploma. Yes that is right, I have 67.5 credits towards my AA Degree and new policy is to have all students pass a college reading assessment test. Give me a friking break. I am 59 yrs old, a certified reading tutor and have taken college classes and they want me to take a reading test. Well that is no more of an issue. The dean of admissions called me after my speaking to other deans including the College Presidents Assistant and they are going to waive requirement for me. I should have the letter by next week. That means I only have to pass an intermediate algebra course, send AV the transcript and voila my degree in Business Management. That is going to be so great for my confidence and also help me with work and jobs. It will also help me with starting my business as a business/office organizer. Being able to put AA Degree in Bus Mgt on my resume and website will be a good thing to bring confidence to others who might hire me.
That is all for now thank you for visiting and be blessed.
