Decisions...

The Non Traditional Pharm D program I am in took an unexpected turn recently. Despite the usual delays that go with it, it has hit a new low with the loss of Ann Janer. She represents a connection with the past. Ms. Janer taught at Auburn when I was there in the 70's. Now there is virtually no one left but those very young ones who may not have a clue where we all came from. Right now I am wondering if it is worth it. Much has changed for me since I began. It was August over 2 years ago that I applied and sent in the application. I probably have another 2 years to finish. I am wondering why? Is there much I will do with the degree. Perhaps not. Especially if I stay there at Coosa. What would I do with the time I spend worrying or preparing for that program? I am not sure. I thought I would endure at least one module before considering leaving it. Those modules may be more relevant. I hope so. If it isn't relevant, I won't be continuing.

Spock

Spock is my favorite character in all fiction. A character who bridged the gap between two worlds and faced disdain from each. Who strove for excellence and exemplified strength, character, intelligence, and control. His nearly emotionless demeanor was a perfect foil for those who would attempt to intimidate or insult him. It was a style I would endeavor to imitate to thwart those attempting to insult, demean, or scare me in my own young life. I bought this little figure to remind me to guard against letting my defenses down and allowing emotional hurt to strike me. But I doubt my recollection of Spock will work for me again. It was the last gift from my past. Perhaps I will find another reservoir of strength.

Island Walk

By
I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...
