Back Off Sybil! LOL

What a week.  What a day or two within the week.  If next week is like this week then I'm outta here.  I have no idea how or where .... I 'm all about taking a hike.
That would be  my unruly twin talkin' like that.   The practical one, she'll stay, work on everything and make it better or adaptable and get on with it.  Just once though I'd like to be the other one and take a hike.  Be the bad ass...Don't y'all ever want to be the one with the leather jacket and tattoos?

Now the balance, there was two very good things that happened in the course of all the bad.  I received a positive diagnosis from the Dr.,  Yeah, thank you God! and the other was I am now on Part C of a four part course, in school.   I was  also informed yesterday I'm all caught up.  That's never happened.
 One more section  to go and I'm finished. This is really where the rubber meets the road, with some intense classes, but the crux of Web Design.

In the meantime, I'm practicing my Photoshop and Illustrator skills.  I made the header on my blog.   Fun.
almost finished.
I've also gone a little overboard maybe? and have been creating business cards for a number of people.  I still need to tweak here and there, when you have this much freedom in creating  the sky is definitely the limit.   With flour and sugar it ends with the crumbs on the table and definitely a calorie or three.

So at the moment I'm writing up my post, hoping the sun will show itself soon while  contemplating lunch.  I've had a cold for the past few days,  I went to school yesterday trying to do the right thing and I think I infected everyone even while being careful.  I hate not being able to breathe normal.  I stayed home today, it's an effort taking in air let alone traveling.     I hope you all have a nice day, I hope you're able to breathe normally and I hope Sybil keeps her distance.

Consistency

Consistency .  Does anyone have a clue as to what that is?  I need to remind myself of the definition,  I suppose.


I wrote myself a note a few weeks back,  to be more consistent posting to my personal blog.  I'm a few days behind my well intended schedule.  I write for two other blogs.  One for my HOA and the other I have to keep updated for school.  This weekend was riddled with good intentions.  And like the holes that pummeled them, well, you get the idea.   Today is another day and week and all the assignments are finished, for now.


School is having it's ups and downs.  I stressed mightily over an assignment of creating a logo for a T-shirt from Photoshop.                        Oh really? is what I'm thinking as I'm looking at my instructor.  Are you kidding me?  I've never used Photoshop before, I didn't say this out loud, but she must've felt the vibes,  so she looks at me and says ...you too Barbara, like she needed to single me out.  Wellllll then....okay!

 I have the book and the program on my computer at school, but nada,  I don't know nada thing.. Too many negatives?  You're exactly right.  But with the help of Sara, the girl next to me and my creative idea, I came up with a basic version of what I wanted.  I know now once I 'm through that course the sky is the limit.  Finally some fun! 
 I have persevered through Algebra among other numerical nasties, Excel--and I don't care what anyone says about that..it is as exciting as a rash.  Access...what's the point to that...and the latest version of Word.  A lot of good information but overkill on the Tutorial..and the person instructing it seemed to step out of polyester blue suit land and nary a visit to the hairdresser.  Professional Indeed!
I forgot, I saved the most intense for last.  HTML...I'm in the last chapter trying to cram for two chapter tests and can't seem to stuff div tags or fixed layouts fast enough.
I'm moving on, not with lightning speed, but I am moving on.  
 I'm in a class and that in itself is big time for me.
  Without sounding like I'm planning for a pity party, I only wish  that would account for something.  I'm not a spring chicken..I was saying the other day on FB..the        chicken or the egg?...I certainly know..I am not the egg anymore. I supposed I am the chicken, lol,  but I'll know PhotoShop!
