Totally Lost my Mind

I don't post like my sister does. Before that was because despite the dog, I don't have the inspiration that she has. Now it is because I just don't have the time.

I have lost my mind on several occasions over the last few years. I think the first major meltdown was probably when I decided to go back to dance class after a 20 year break. Most of my classmates weren't born when I took my last class. This gives you a bit of insight into just how insane that decision was. I have paid for it, in sore muscles, a badly sprained ankle, and an investment (large) in ace brand ice packs.

Now I have gone even further around the bend. (Yes, I have added a pretty hug me jacket to my Christmas list.) I have gone back to school for my master's degree.

I thought that maybe, I would get an associates degree in medical billing and coding. Then I started checking that out, and the cost of community college was going to be a bit more than I anticipated. I was going to have to repeat a bunch of classes that I had taken in the past, and then scheduling that around my work schedule was going to be very interesting. So I started looking into online classes to work around the scheduling part, and found out that I could make myself more marketable, spend less, and get a higher degree.

So here I am, trying to figure out how to work, spend time with my husband, help out around the house, have my regularly scheduled life, and get my classwork done.

I mentioned that I want a pretty hug me jacket for Christmas, right?
