Nov 16th It must be the full moon

I just havent been myself these past 2 days. I just feel out of sorts. Its not anything I can pinpoint...I just feel on edge. I think its probably the impendingness of doom ....Yes going back to work. I have been out with the knee reconstruction for 5 months now. I was hopeing to milk it until we actually had our house built. Nope not unless my job entailed me to run and be physical. It doesnt. If it did I would be out for 8 months. Damn now I wish I had that fireman position that I had applied for. Its just I have worked since I was 14 years old and I am 45 now ...you do the math. I never did not work or I went to school while working. Its been nice just being at home. Okay so I gained some weight...so what. I am home doing home stuff and running errands and doing homework. I guess dealing with bad things and crime daily makes you hardened. I like being away from it all. Sometimes you just need a break. I walked in work today to get my check and one of coworkers is retiring. Way to go Mary. I wish I could retire. I know ..I know. I worked hard to get the job I have but trust me there is nothing glamorous about it. Those crime shows C.S.I and C.S.I whereever make it all look so easy and clean. Its not. So who am I to complain. I just got another raise. I make more money than my parents did and I guess that was the point in going to school but like Oprah said ..FIND YOUR PASSION. I am not passionate about my job. Not at all. I know what I want to do but now at 45 I dont know if I have the stamina to do it. I have the ability to do it and it is to go to medical school. I would just have to audit some classes and take my MCATS to get in...okay audit a lot of classes. I did it before I got divorced the first time but at the time I needed to support my children. So lets do the math. Lets say I do get into medical school.. I would graduate at 50. Do my residency or attending ..depending on my specialty .. another 5 to 10 years. That would make me 60. Work unitil I see fit or as long as I could. Hey if Slyvester Stallone can make a Rocky (whatever # it is at 60) then maybe the possiblities are there. Most of my undergrad is completed already. I would just probably need to audit classes now. I have to find faith in myself to do it. I have always done things against the grain. Always. I think I will add talking to my advisor in school on my to do list. I feel that is my passion. I get so excited when I watch those shows like Women Doc or Trauma in the E.R. Its like I have been there and know I should be there. Damn its been so long since I was in school. I hope its like riding a bike..something you never forget.

I think it time for you to work on the still breathing people!!!! You can do this and in that 5 to 10 years of stuff you will be right in the middle of it all!

I know how you feel about being on campus. I love it, too! Girl...you go for it! I've put it off so long and sometimes, it's still a struggle but it's going to be so worth it in the end.

I think about The Biggest Loser sometimes...I think putting me in an environment like that would help me, too. Three months seems to be enough time to develop some good habits. My family would never agree to letting me leave for three months, though. We were watching Trading Spouses last night...and the remark was made that I couldn't leave for two weeks. But then again, I would miss my dogs anyway.
