So, I'm taking a class online from BYU. I had been moving along at a nice pace with a 100% average until a few weeks ago when I got to Lesson 5. Lesson 5 was my first written assignment. The previous grades were all multiple choice, graded on the spot by the computer. So, I came to a stop.
It isn't that the assignment was difficult. I just haven't had to write in an organized essayish fashion in over a decade, and I really didn't want to screw up. And it takes energy to organize my thoughts into paragraphs like that.
Today, though, I did it. I turned in Lesson 5. I received an email letting me know it may take 24 hours to receive the grade. Boo. I moved on to the beginning of Lesson 6.
When I got back home a few minutes ago, I thought I would just check to see if I had a grade yet. I didn't expect it, really, but I thought a look at those 100%s all in a row would boost my self esteem. And guess what? Lesson 5 was there! And guess what else? I still have 100% average! SO good for my self esteem!
In other news...
Charlotte went to the shrink today, and she had blood work done today. The shrink was great. This guy was really nice and insightful, and he is sending us to a cognitive behavioral therapist for some skillz. Love it. The blood work, though. Ugh.
She had to be poked in both arms because the flow stopped in the first arm before they had filled all their vials. I was already perturbed because Marianne, the tech I met earlier in the day when dropping off the POO SAMPLES (one of which had to be frozen, so that has been in my freezer for a few days. Ugh), told me she would be there until six and she came from pediatric and was great with kids, and as it turns out she was NOT there, so two other ladies had to do it. Yes, two. One holding down Charlotte's arm, one poking, and then they switched off. Plus Andy was holding her down, too. There was much screaming and one firm lecture from me about holding still to get it all over with. Once that band aid was on, she split. I mean, the lady was saying, "Would you like a treat?" and Charlotte was already out the door, down the hall, and in the lobby headed for the parking lot. Her treat came in the form of a trip to Chick-Fil-A where Andy fed her because her elbows were just too sore to bend.
I am so glad that is over.
Hurray for 100%!!

Poor Charlotte. I am having very bad flashbacks to medical buildings and children ... ever so not fun ...
Hope this is it for ... I was going to say forever, but that would just be stupid - so for as long as possible ...
Oooh - and I get to type in the word swirlydl "swirlydill" - it should be a real word!!! I just need to define it ...
Swirlydill - noun, the loop on the top of a Dairy Queen ice cream cone. Only Dairy Queen can do it.
Bloodwork: you can breathe a sigh of relief. Frozen poo: glad it's not in your freezer anymore. 100% on your essay: awesome...keep up the great work!
You are 100% awesome!
Hugs to your beautiful Charlotte.
By the time I got to the front, Charlotte was outside of the building. She ran the whole way.
