In other news...
Nov. 4th, 2015 09:28 amI have a mammogram today. Just the annual boob squish, nothing exciting. There's a history of breast cancer in the family so I have to have them annually since the age of 40. Not exactly remarkable except the appointment isn't until 3:30 and you're not supposed to wear deodorant for it, so I'll be going most of the day without pit stick.

I also found out yesterday I've been accepted to the University of New Brunswick to do my Masters of Education in Adult Education.
I am excited beyond belief, but also a bit scared, and not completely certain I'll do it. In fact, after discussion with Dickie last night, there may be a "thanks but no thanks" in my future. It's not that Dickie is saying "no you're not allowed", he wouldn't do that. But he's wondering why I would put myself through another 3 years or so of school for something that I'm not going to see a return on investment on in the next 3 years. And in truth, I have just finished putting him through 15 years of standing by while I went through my first degree. Do I really want to make him do another 3?
On top of that, I'm scheduled for surgery in January that will lay me up for 6 weeks. That's either a great thing (lots of time to work on school!) or a shit thing (I may not know my own name for the first two weeks of class...)
Either way, I don't have to make a decision this moment. There are only 10 courses that need to be taken. I may pick one that actually looks fun/easy and sign up for it and take it one class at a time rather than doing the emotional commitment of "I AM DOING A MASTERS"
And how is your day going?
