i, in my ridiculous human pride, have been attempting to take care of myself and my daughter. as i was pondering a possible future opportunity i was kind of yelled at.

we are learning manual lymph drainage at school. at first, i was kind of looking forward to it because i know several people who have had problems with their lymphatic system, or who have had nodes removed. i thought it would be cool to learn about it, if for no other reason than to gain a little more understanding of what they i am amy.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04902889363062528436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146028342214194661.post-60909614809329630272011-10-25T00:21:00.001-04:002011-10-25T00:21:53.372-04:00so much.

and speaking of the first day...it went pretty well, i was offered even more hours, so that is a blessing. i'll be working between 32-35 hours, when i was only expecting 20. very helpful. :)

the rain has arrived here in south central pa, and with it has come a bit of wind. nothing too exciting yet, but we're still right on the edge of the action, so we'll see what happens in the next 12 hours or so.
