Whether the Weather be: Cold (49F)
In the News: Haven't been paying attention to news much, tonight.
Events of Note: Unit 4 Begins
* The first part of this week have been some of the toughest days for me since I've been at Kaplan. When you can not count on your health on a regular basis, studying becomes especially difficult. During the course of my college career, I've faced a few health challenges. In 2006, I had a large tumor surgically removed from my right breast (later found to be benign). Even in comparison with being hospitalized in Stanford in January this year, and logging into Kaplan via my laptop from my hospital bed, surrounded by tubes and machines-these past few days have been a real test of my tenacity. My husband, to his credit, is steady, reliable and willing to help, in whatever way that he can. Sometimes, though, I try to struggle on anyway, and neglect to ask him for help until it's too late, and I'm in crisis mode/mood. Both of my instructors sent me encouraging emails, today. That means a lot, knowing that I am not 'in' this in isolation.
* Tonight, my goal is to sleep for six hours uninterupted, and hopefully, remain fever-free. Dinner tonight was a berry smoothie because that was all that I felt that my digestive system could cope with. Merely trying to pare down our daily lives, simplify and get ourselves through this next phase (whatever that entails or brings).
* This week's discussions look to be a little more complex. I'm looking forward to the blogging part for this Unit, too. Realistically, though, I'll just be happy if I can keep up and not fall behind.
See you in threads and blogs!.

Whether the Weather be: Overcast (54F/12C)
In the News: Khmer Rouge jailer found guilty of war crimes.
Events of Note: End of Unit 3/Unit 3 Wrap-Up.
* Awful, awful night (unfortunately). My temperature got to 103.5. Woke up late. My husband has taken today off work to take care of me. These meds are concurrently making me hyper-active, hyper-anxious, nauseated and running a fever. Better living through chemistry?.
* I still have some schoolwork to finish, though. Hoping that I can make it through. After that, sleep!. Hoping for strength and wisdom, nonetheless.
More later.
