Ten on Tuesday

1.  I'm still here and alive!  Promise!

2. Last week, the girls' trip to Las Vegas commenced.  Grammy, Rebecca, and I drove to Las Vegas on Wednesday afternoon/evening.  I had my EPPP workshop for the next four days from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day.  This gave Grammy and Rebecca time to hang out in the hotel and have some fun, and then we had more fun when I got home in the evenings.  I have to admit that I was mentally zonked each day, because it was nonstop cramming for the test.  I think it was worthwhile...at least I hope so!  We got back on Sunday evening.

3.  The drive to Las Vegas took 3 hours, 45 minutes.  The drive home from Las Vegas took 6 hours, 30 minutes.  So. Not. Cool.

4.  Going to work on Monday morning was cruel and unusual punishment.

5.  I now have eleven days and eleven hours before I take the EPPP.  Even though I feel better about it since the workshop, I am so not ready.  I will be spending every spare moment stuffing my brain full of as many ethics rules, stages of acculturation, and theories of industrial-orgnizational consultation.

6.  Right now, we are down-census at work.  One would think that this would make for less work and stress, but it doesn't exactly work that way.  I've been doing a lot of co-treatment with our occupational therapy, which has been pretty intense!

7.  Last night, I caught the edge of my wedge sandal in the crack in our sidewalk, twisted my ankle, and fell on my knee.  Today I have a really nasty bruise and a lot of swelling.  It's not pretty.

8.  I watched the series finale of Sex and the City.  I think it was the best series finale ever.  I didn't really watch the show devotedly, but I loved the way they ended the series.  Lots of closure.  Have I ever mentioned that I don't like movies or television shows that don't give you closure at the end of them?

9.  Rebecca has no problem with self-image. She informed Grammy yesterday that she was "a master cooker" and that she knew how to bake a cake because Mommy had told her how to do so.

10.  Sydney girl is doing much better!  The doggie Celebrex really seems to have helped her. She is grinning and even ran out the front door the other day.  It was good to see her acting like her old self!
