PITIFUL… I do have to give some credit to the fact I took my nursing 3-1/2 hour Teas test three days before the wedding, Bessie’s 1st birthday was the day after the wedding and mom’s trip to philly to see the cancer doctor was two days after, and oh yeah I put in a garden fountain and some annuals.. so ...its.. ok .. I am sure this all didn ’t help my complete, utter exhaustion. … So I shouldn ’t be so down that my training this week have been below par with a total depletion of natural resources.......
