went in to the irongym yesterday evening. While it was a miserable workout, it was also--enlightening. i think i have a good explanation why i've felt so sluggish lately, and why i've been climbing like sun-dried doodoo, and why i can't sleep to save my life. It was just over three weeks since the last iron workout i'd done, so i was deconditioned a bit for sure; but i couldn't finish the workout i did last time--by quite a bit--and i felt like puking before it was over. i think i've subtly and slowly been upping my stress levels (and concomitant drinking levels) to the stratosphere. i think between deciding not to go to PT school, to feeling inadequate to go to PA school, to trying to get into nursing school, to finding it nearly impossible to get into the classes i need for any of it, to finding out we'll be having another baby i think i've just grown kinda cozy with the thought of succumbing to cancer.
It's not, by the way, a terribly good option.
So yesterday i called up U. St. Francis, and talked with an advisor at length about their PA program. i was hugely encouraged by him. He said my grades and GRE scores, etc. were way beyond competitive, and when i asked about how heavily they weight job credentials and specific kinds of letters of rec he laughed it off. So if God allows it, i'm going to take the classes i need to get into PA school. That's what i really want to do, and Steph has strongly seconded that. Please pray. i'm going insane.

I don't think insanity is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. it's the getting there that appears to suck the most. But, I digress.
I think a private school may be a great way to go. Expensive as hell, but the Fed is buying up all of our student loans anyways and I don't feel nearly as bad about defaulting on the new socialized bank of america.
We'll be praying!
Oh yeah, and quit drinking. It does not improve sleep, climbing, or weightlifting. (although, there is some evidence that it may stave off insanity, or least render you unaware that you are in fact going insane.)
Cheers.
Well i've tanned all the beer in the house, the bottle of wine i bought yesterday, and i'm 'bout to pour the remainder of the Irish whiskey down the drain. Gots ta climb back up on the wagon.
