What a day I have had today. I think I came close to dying, okay, so not that dramatic but it was really scary. I have started getting some allergy shots, time to get it all under control. I had my first one on Tuesday with no problems. I went this morning and immediately my throat swelled up. Even with allergies, I have never had this happen before and I can't say how scared I was. Doctors were coming in and out trying different shots and pills and I was just there, doped up and nervous.
Needless to say, it all worked out. It started going down and I was only 2 hours late to work. Good thing they like me there.
I have more exciting news from this week. Heb and I just got back from Portland on Monday and I finally did something brave. I registered for my first graduate course, Creative Non-Fiction Writing. I am not sure if I will even continue on to get a graduate degree or what it would be in but I knew that I needed to make that first step. I admit it, I am your classic over-analyzer. I think and think and never really make the progress that I want. So I called all the university offices and just happened to call on the last day that they are accepting applications at 4:35 when the offices close at 5:00. I think it was fate that I was able to get everything in and get accepted. So, I start school on Monday and I am so excited to try something new and challenging. I am still a little scared but if I've learned anything, it's time to conquer my fears and be brave. I feel really happy right now. I am moving in the right direction, I think, we'll have to see what the first day is actually like.
More pictures and stories from Portland to come.
