[Stars spell out your name like in a science fiction drama]

Nothing super exciting happened today, I went to school and listened to a presentation about the future of nursing, watched an old 80's video about patient/client boundaries and then we took our leadership test which I did well on. I ate lunch with V and K, stopped by Ulta to check out the nail polish and came home.

Once I got home my mom let me know that my dad was starting his IVIG treatments tomorrow. We had to straighten the house and vacuum and mop all the floors because the dogs tracked in mud. That was a chore! Mom and I worked together though and got it done. I finally cleaned out the front room and put a bunch of stuff in the garage. My shoulders and ankles hurt now though :(

Dad will be home for 9 days straight due to the treatment, weekends and the Thanksgiving holiday. Dad overload? I hope not. I really hope he tolerates the treatment well.

Tonight we watched some TV and I gave Pepper a bath to get the mud out of his hair. He was not happy about that, poor baby. He got his teeth cleaned last week and they did an awesome job. He's not as growly and his breath smells way better. Maybe those two teeth he had pulled had been hurting him.

Tomorrow I have my second therapy session, I hope it goes well.

[There is thunder in our hearts, baby.]

I had big plans today to clean the front room but that didn't happen cuz I stayed up all night watching OTH with my dad (he couldn't sleep). When I woke up this morning C was online and I ended up playing RuneScape for a couple hours with him. I doubled my magic level and almost died trying to prove that I could kill dragons too. I did kill the dragons, I almost died because I got poisoned by some creature in the dungeon when I was on my way out, lol. 

I went to the doctor this afternoon to get some more samples of the new med. It's been like 10 days and I don't really feel any different. The samples should last me a month, hopefully I will know if it works by then. I should be able to tell if its working right? I wonder why it takes so long... I mean I know it has to build up in your system, but why can't they make something that works faster?

I took pics today after it rained of the dogs, the bees on the lemon tree, rain soaked leaves and the sky. I really love the sky, That sounds so random but it's beautiful, night or day. Clouds and stars, rainbows and moonbows. It's amazing. I'd love to one day be able to take photos of the night sky, like really awesome photos.

I saw a shooting star last night, it was pretty cool. I was taking out the trash and happened to look up and see it. I never see one when I want to see one or am looking for one, weird how that works. I looked up shooting stars on space.com and found out that they aren't even stars, its debris and like space grit, meteoroids really. I think shooting star or falling star sounds so much better than meteoroid.

I studied for my leadership exit exam tomorrow and took a practice test which I did well on. It's mostly delegation and prioritization. I have some NCLEX preparation tests to take this week. I don't have to take them (as I was informed yesterday) but I am going to take them anyway because I want to be a part of my class and I want to get all the prep I can. We took a NCLEX predictor test Monday to see how well we might do on the test. I have a 93% chance of passing if I took it now. That's pretty good, if only I had the clinical part down :( Oh well, I have another year to figure that part out. 

I painted my nails after my practice test with OPI Teenage Dream, I like it, it's really glittery but kinda thick. I had Orly's Shine On Crazy Diamond on last week. I love the holographic glitters, they're all rainbow-y and happy.

After my nail polish dried I watched 2 episodes of OTH and was going to watch another but decided to use the time to post. I need to get back into the habit of taking the last 30 mins or so before bed to get things out of my head. I can only tell C so much in my good night emails, lol. I know he doesn't care about nail polish :D
