Holding Pattern

I finally have managed to get from the circular motion of trying to pass my exit exams for nursing school, and into the larger circular motion of waiting for the authorization to take the actual nursing exam. I should be preparing more. I'm trying something new today: instead of coming directly home after work and watching television with intent to study later I'm going to McDonalds to use WiFi and avoid temptation at home to goof off (of course providing I focus and don't just Google Qualcomm chips and reviews for fantasy devices).

My beloved Chromebook is dead (I left it out on the sofa overnight next to a drink, and one of my beloved cats knocked said drink onto the keyboard). Now instead of clacking away on my plastic Samsung device I'm fumbling on the glass of my new LG Glad 10.1 It's not cutting edge by any stretch if the imagination (it can barely stream Netflix and the resolution is paltry), but it's big and bright and has good battery life.

I'm consumed with fear that I won't be able to exit before my boss passes away. I feel awful thinking that, and even worse that as much as I would miss him and his wife the biggest loss would be moneywise. 

I cannot doddle anymore. The stakes are all too real now. The buckle must get down, and me with it.
