Blech!

I've been sick for several days. I really think I have strep throat but I'm not going to the doctor. At this point it's a bit late to start antibiotics anyway. It should be getting better soon. The fever and chills are gone and I'm just left with a horrendous sore throat. It feels like I am swallowing my tonsils every time I swallow, ouch!
I got a phone call yesterday from BTC telling me my name came up on the waiting list for the last CNA program session of spring quarter. It starts NEXT WEEK. I told them to sign me up without giving it too much thought but the result was me having to reschedule an entire months worth of "stuff" yesterday while I was feeling crummy so I could clear the schedule in order to take the class. I also had to cancel one of my camping trips and modify our visit to my mom's house (meeting in the middle for a few days instead). It was a hectic day and I wasn't up for it but I am almost done. Just a couple of appointments to reschedule and several things to try and get done this week and I should be golden with one exception. I am required to have a two step TB screening which involves 4 visits in a 3 week period and this MUST be completed before clinicals start. Maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) I could have gotten this done if I had went yesterday to get started but I called before I headed out because I had a feeling I couldn't get it while sick and I was right. So, now I am off the waiting list for summer since I got into this one and I'm in a bit of a bind. I had no idea about this test I had to have (yet another BTC secret they don't tell you until it's too late) and now who knows? So, I'll have to call and find out just how "healthy" I need to be and also try and contact the instructor to see the exact date I have to be done by. What a pain!
Aside from that debacle and being sick there hasn't been much going on around here. Just trying to adjust to unemployment again. I'm sure some families handle unemployment gracefully but our family can't seem to get it right. I have been thinking about starting a new blog about our family's journey with unemployment. I'm not sure yet and I have no idea when I would even have time but I've been thinking about it for a long time. Maybe something like....One Family's Unemployment Journey...One Year Later or something like that. I'm no writer by any means but our family has dealt with a lot of stuff this past year (plus some) and I think it would be good to get it out there, I know we are not alone either and it might be nice to find a community. I don't know, like I said I have been thinking about it for so long but it always seemed a little too close to home and too real to put it out there but maybe that's the point?
Eric is at a computer class at WorkSource and I have a list of 5 phone calls to make despite how badly it hurts to talk with this sore throat so I had better get to it.
