Calculators at the ready.

Exam day.
3 hours - each mark on paper translated into minutes on the clock.
Pencil led in full supply.
Ink, too.
Nerves shot.
Last week summed up in a word - rough.
Deep breathe.
Another journey.
Determination - at max capacity.

I forgot.

Even when you get great news of "you passed", when you've got a loaded schedule there is no time to stop. The celebration of "pass" lasts for the few moments after you've processed the information and then you move on.
This next course is the other half. The yang to my pass yin. Thanks to some very misleading information, I just realized I'm about three weeks behind. Today's agenda will include some serious time-management planning to make up whatever I can.
How do you recover from a time loss set back?

My eyes see.

Through the window there is a blackness of night that reflects my image back on the cold glass. The wind whispers enticingly trying to coax me away from this warm crackling fire. While tempting, the latest best seller has me engulfed such that I've even cracked the spine, my signature for a good book.
Refocusing my sight beyond the solid triple pane, the light of the moon glistens off the snow. The wind stirs up random swirls then scatters them across the dark. A lone passerby breaks the silence and sparks my curiosity. I follow his path until he, too, is lost in the night. Left momentarily behind are defined footprints only to be quickly swept under the white snow rug. There is no mercy to be had from Mother Nature's twisted plan.
I turn the page and am lost in the story again.

Sexy September.

There are a whole slew of things happening I can barely keep it all straight.
Let's just focus for a moment on today. Only today.

My summer course final exam is this evening. I could use just a bit of luck. I've really put serious effort into this class and am now entering pre-exam panic mode. Shake the jitters away with me please!

The fabulous Kal is kicking off her Nurturing Your Creativity + Be Bulletproof course and I think more info is coming today to registered people. I'm in for the slow & steady. Are you? *note to me: this officially starts on Sept 13. be ready!*

I came across this challenge and couldn't resist. Why not add more to the overflowing cup and fill myself with things that I'm passionate about? Go check out 750words.com. It's a challenge to write but you don't have to be a writer.

And, I'm a Tink fan. The newest movie is out today. I must find time to snap up some of this magic. Come to think of it, I might go on a mini-mission to find some exam fairy dust...



This month is full and my heart is over flowing. Hello September, hello sweet routine life. Oh, I've missed you!
