Test Today

Please keep a thought or ten for me today that I maintain my calm and my knowledge of my path is clear to those testing my skill level.I know my stuff, I can and have done the skills many times. I just need to remember to actually tell the testers what I'm doing as I do it.~Andara & Berry

Cept update

Kim came home. Her situation at home is still pretty poor and if folks can keep prayers/energy/ thoughts ect twords things working out for her I'd appreciate it. Drkn and I are considering the feasability of offering Kim a place to stay with us. So far it is not looking very feasible but we are still looking into if it can work.

Ya know it's time to stop studying when. . .

You dream about reading the book you've been studying from. Yup I was dreaming the CNA handbook and still see lots of the skills writeups whenever I close my eyes. So I'm taking a break today and will return to studies tommorow. Considering how full today is going to be I need to be takeing the 30 min of study time I'd have allotted mysel today for self care. 15 of those min are already used in meditation today and I feel much better for it.

CEPT: Runaway

I haven't talked about Leong and Nyet on here but they are the couple my folks sponsered to teh US 15 years ago. They consider my folks to be their parents and they are very traditionally Vietnameese.Loeng just called my dad; his youngest daughter has run away. I like Kim a lot, she's 15, pregnant, and was scared of her dad's reaction. (Loeng is very traditional.) The cops know where she is but won't tell Kim's folks where she is. They are frantic and are really scared that Kim will be hurt wherever she is.So can folks please send up good thoughts that Kim stay safe and that things work out the best possible way they can? I am not asking folks to pray for her to come home because I don't know enough about teh situation at home to know why she left in the first place.Xposted to callihanians (slightly different format)

I'm here

I'm alive and extreamly busy. I'm not updateing much due to time management issues. Four hours of class time a week spread over two days means I'm spending half of each Wed and Thurs out of the house. Combine that with tryign to keep the house clean, and study for State and well my time for internet is pretty low.So if you want more info on my life call me. I'm likely to be scarce online for awhile.

Back online kinda

I have a new computer and spotty online acsess so far. we will be experienceing technical difficulties for a while as we figure out teh new computer and the network. phone and in person are still most reliable ways of gettign ahold of me or the kids.please email me your contact info if you want me to have it. Nothing on my hard drive was recoverable for a reasonable price. (starting at 500 bucks and going up from there i dont' think so.)also if I emailed you the excel spreadsheet of my scorecard please email me a copy of it, I'm recreateign it from scratch.
