Second Take

Well, I am now enrolled in a new massage therapy school. This one will give me more than enough education and experience to pass the New York Licensing exam. It appears that a certain population of their student body is there for that reason. It will cost about twice as much, and take about 13 months to complete. I'm on board.

So here I go again, learning a new commute in and out of New Jersey. Today's first run wasn't completely awful. 287 to the Garden State to 4 East to 4 West (yes, you read that right) to a local road to the school. I think from now on I won't be going that way though. I hear the Palisades parkway is easier. *blink blink*

But I really don't care anymore. I get where I need to be.

OH! AND! AND AND AND!!

I may have a new temp assignment - just for a week - at a super-cool company in Westchester!! Hopefully I'll be able to continue my hospital assignment afterward. But the week-long gig - even though it's only one week - ought to pay my regular rate, and right now I really need that cash. I just dropped $150 registration & Application fees, and have to start shelling out over $200 a month for school starting October. That's out-of-pocket - what the student loan doesn't cover. So even if it's just for a week, I really could use that cash. (fingers crossed)

My dad turned 65 yesterday, and I didn't even send him a card. With everything going on in my life, I plum fergot. The man deserves something good. I have some ideas.

My 34th birthday is in two weeks.

Gah.

I'll get back to you on that.
