i have 2 days left until i take my state board license exam. i am caught like a deer in the headlights, midway between mad anxiety and approaching apathy. i am trying to stay grounded, and envision the Trust card from my tarot deck, but it is a hard state to maintain.

my family is excited for me to take the test. mostly, i believe, because they want me back.... i have been in a very distracted and stressed out state for over a month now, and it will be nice to put this behind me & try & be present with my family.

and the stress has finally done on number on my physical self, too. i have some inflammation in my nose & throat, and i can just picture the misery of the test itself, with a runny nose, or a stuffy head and a big old headache, and i do believe i will pass in spite of these obstacles.

now for a hot bath & some bouncing, to stimulate my lymphatic system & get this virus taken care of....
