I’m still at the airport. My flight was supposed to leave at 5.30pm. Now after it’s FORTH delay.. We are supposed to leave at 7.35pm. I’m hoping that they don’t cancel it. I feel bad for my friend driving around Montreal with a 9 month old baby.
HESI Update: I didn’t get what I needed. Almost, but ultimately no. I scored 824 & I needed an 850. Everybody had to take the full 160 question test. I’m a little sad that I came up short.
Ta-ta for now.

Ahh… how time flies when you’re sick, burn your hand, studying for a test, etc…
It’s 6am now and “Angel” is on the TV in the other room (LOVE “Angel”) & I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to pack.
HESI exam is at 10am. They have given us 4 hours to take the exam. I still don’t know how many questions the thing has on it. I got 160 from one person and from another I got 235… So, who the heck knows…. I just need an 850 to pass this thing……
Then I’m taking the train to the airport & dutifully falling asleep at my gate until 5.15.
Have a good five days while I’m gone… Drink Tropicana!!!

I did a stupid thing last night.. I burned my hand while making dinner. I was taking a Healthy Choice frozen dinner out of the microwave last night after getting home from clinical at Jefferson and it tipped… well, it was one of THOSE frozen dinners that had the sauce in the bottom and then you mixed the food from the top porition….As I was taking it out of the microwave (I was stupid… only used one hand), the bowl tipped and scaulding, boiling, hot, THICK, “some-type-of-chinese-sauce” spilled all over onto my hand & oh.. yea… splashed onto my face. It took me a few seconds to reach the sink to wash it off & to hold my hand under the water…but the damage was already done.
The rest of the night I held a never used bag of frozen Trader Joes veggies on it (remind me to NEVER eat those veggies.. since I threw them back into the freezer)… by 11.30 the pain was soooo intense, throbbing, and just plain hurt like hell I was thinking about going to the ER… I had no clue what they were going to do for me… so, I stuck it out… I went to bed with a bag of ice and every second that it was removed from my hand the pain just came back… I must have fell asleep around 1.30 this morning (it’s almost 6am now). It still hurts a little when I bend it….but the throbbing has thankfully stopped.
Friday afternoon… Montreal here I come. Until then… I have the EXIT HESI to mull over and to probably fail. I need an 850 to pass… and we all know how good I am about getting those 850s. Yea, not so good.

After about 5 too many tries… I got a picture up there… It’s from last August’s trip to Canada. We were at some Catholic retreat place and they had pretty flowers. I am flying back to Canada this Friday to see my friends again. V. excited.
I am feeling better. The beginning of my clinical tonight was rough… my stomach was still doing flip flops…but by the end of tonight (10pm) I was feeling a lot better… I even had a hot dog for dinner (I know.. not the healthiest thing to eat after puking your brains for 2 days).
That’s it…
Ta-ta for now.

Every time I try to post a picture for my header… it doesn’t show… so, now it’s blank.. I don’t have enough energy to fiddle with it today… Maybe tonight when I get home from the hospital.

Ugh. I’m finally feeling a little bit better. As I was driving home from the Jefferson Ball on Friday night I started having weird stomach pains… at first, I thought it was because of my super duper Spanx underwear that sucks everything in & that I had it on for too long a time period… Well, that certainly wasn’t the case. About 2am Saturday morning I had my first upchuck experience… and it just went downhill from there. All day Saturday I was either on the couch sleeping or in the bathroom puking from both ends. It was horrible. I kept trying to drink water/suck on ice cubes… but nothing worked. I was feeling a little better in the afternoon yesterday and TRIED eating some solid food… didn’t work. Last night at 11.30 I drank 1/2 of cup of the Lipton Cup of Soup stuff..and I did keep it down..
This morning I feel a lot better..but weak. I lost a total of 5 pounds from Friday night to this morning. Such a crazy diet plan…
Here’s a picture from the Ball… when I was feeling good.

my grand entrance with jonah & misty lee (ps.. i'm in the purple dress!)
That’s it for now.. It’s 1.30pm and I’m still in my PJs… I’m going to go take a shower & try to rejoin the world outside my apartment (ie… I’m going to Wawa to buy the Sunday paper).

For Kimberly, I would send Flying Monkey to the farthest corners of the world. Thankfully, I only need to figure out how to get them to Toledo.

So, I changed the appearance again…. The picture on top is lame… and if anyone can figure out what it is & where it was taken… I’ll personally deliver to you a Flying Monkey cupcake from Reading Terminal Market (I say this…b/c I just ate one: Mimosa… YUMMY!!!).
I’m still not happy with it…but it will have to do for now until I get some more pictures.
Scott, I hope this is better for your eyes!

at least for a little while. I got bored with my Ireland picture and couldn’t find one that I liked… The other theme will be back… when I get a decent picture to post.
That’s it.. enjoy your day.
