It began two weeks ago when the state of Indiana finally gave me a test date for my CNA certification: December 3. Given that they had initially told me I would be tested in early November. . .well, you can probably guess my sentiments toward bureaucracy at the moment.

With a big test like that, I had been spending most of my time with my nose to a book (a not-so-unusual state of affairs, except that this was a text-book). And then, one day last week, right in the middle of a particularly deep study session, I got a phone call from my CNA job; one of the girls had turned in her notice and could I please take over her hours? Oh, and those hours include today, half an hour ago. So between work, study, other work and sleep, I have neglected this poor blog.

Anyrate, my CNA state test was Friday——and I passed. And not by the skin of my teeth, either.

Now it’s off to church, and then work. My next day off is Friday. Sheesh, that girl picked some lousy hours!
