Despite a later-then-usual night, I felt well rested when the alarm sounded at 6.  I walked into the kitchen for coffee…only to find that section of the house had lost power – again.  This is a built-by-owner home from the early 40s and the electricity isn’t superb.  Fortunately I only had to walk into the bathroom to hit a reset button and everything buzzed on again.  Tip-toeing..ever so quietly so the dogs wouldn’t hear me.  The buzz of the fridge helps.  I managed to get my FitBit started this morning, and lordy, I need it.  I am becoming a "paunchy" middle-aged woman and I am saddened by that.

For a Tuesday, I had a terrific attitude.  Even at work…until…<sigh>  There are no words.  Four.More.Months.  

After the bell rang, I raced out and quickly headed to Home Depot to exchange the blinds for another set.  I made a new best friend with the lady at the return counter and we enjoyed quite a few laughs together.  Here is my question – where the heck are the cheap “landlord-bought-these type" of blinds?  I ended up buying bamboo blinds.  Fer reals.  Figure since it’s on my dime….I’ll get him the cheap ones when I move out and take my damn blinds with me <it’s the principle of the matter>.

Raced home to quickly eat and then zoomed off to my supervision.  Just like last week, I was there 2 hours.  I hope these hours are counting towards my practicum hours.  Supervision was terrific and it doesn’t seem like two hours at all.

No Hipnic for me because I AM eligible to walk in the graduation ceremony for my dual master’s degree (yay!!) even though I won’t be done with hours, but I am still very excited.  I told my kids that if I can walk, I ‘d like to invite them to my graduation ceremony because they have helped so much the last (almost) 3 years.  They accepted my invitation as long as I don’t sing on stage.
