As of this weekend, I have sacrificed my time and rearranged my priorities. School starts in a little over a month and I am not a particularly good student. Which is not to say that I do not learn. It simply means that I am not good at jumping through the hoops that a student needs to jump through to get good grades no matter the material they have retained. My family will remain my highest priority in life but some allowances will need to be made to accommodate my new schedule and energy drains.
I really am looking forward to this program. I know that since there are not state regs here I could start working much sooner through other certification programs. I do not want to take that route though. This is a reputable school and that will be respected across the country. While it may not have the 1000 hour program that a few states require right now, it is a higher number of hours than other schools here offer and much higher than most states require for licensing.

Today is my scheduled, allowed time for, on the books lunch with the Honey. It has been a long time since we got to have lunch together. We used to do it pretty regularly. I miss it. Oddly once school starts it'll be easier for me than it was when I was working for Dr. We'll probably still have to make sure time is blocked out of his schedule but if that is what needs to happen it can happen.

Still trying to figure out how to manage my brain once PIC is gone. That one may be a learn as you go thing. Whaddya bet that happens right around the worst time of year for me? Seems like all my best personal growth happens in Feb and March. *shakes head* I have faith that I will manage.

Starting training tonight. 4-8 pm at the Mall of America. I need to figure out how to equalize blood sugar levels. Eating dinner at 3:30 does not seem the thing. Neither does waiting until 8:30 or later. Training for a wine shop. I'm gonna be an official wine snob. PIC mentioned, "You're cute enough that your disdain for their choices will go over well." I dunno about disdain but I certainly do have my favs and they aren't particularly broad in the wine sphere. The owners of the shop did not seem to be bothered by this. "Learn as you go," they said. They seem like cool people.
I like working for small business owners. They are generally enthusiastic and invested in their shop/employees well-being. The only drawback comes when they have to look to their family or some such rather than their employee and all of a sudden you're without a job because little Bobby needs one. Family businesses can be like that. Been there. Not fun.

Pool party yesterday was fun. Wet and fun. Got a bit of sun, though not enough to make a difference in skin color, just frame of mind. Made the quesadillas that AmberO prepared for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lapiswitch's feast. Went over really well. None left certainly. Though that could be a function of how many people there were there vs. how many I made...
Kinda volunteered myself to work on a few people. They needed it pretty badly though. I got a bit in return which is rare. Finding people who can/will work on me just because I'm there and not need to charge me has never been easy. I'm not easy to work on so I guess that kinda makes sense. Still a bummer though. I got a card from the guy I was working on. He apparently does bodywork. I think I'd be okay with an exchange of some sort.

Lunch is scheduled from 11:30 to one. I ought to start getting ready. Wonder how long its taking to get out there these days... Its sad that drive times and conditions are better in the winter here. Road construction is way worse than bad weather that gets cleared off the highways in a day or two. No, road construction lasts for months.
