Can I Just Say...

...I love this medication. Love it. I fell asleep by 9:30 last night and slept straight through until 5:00. I felt incredibly well rested when I got up. And having a couple of hours to myself is nothing to be sneezed at. I can't believe how much better I feel in just a week on this stuff. My sleeping pattern has been so wrecked up until now. It is great to be back on a normal one again.

Well, I suppose I should go do my math homework. I am teaching myself the Fundamentals of Algebra and Geometry, trying to stay one day ahead of my son's learning. Today is the unit test. I figure if I go through it with him this year, and do more algebra with him next year I will learn the stuff pretty thoroughly again. I am considering going back to college at some point in the future and I'd like to test out of the math if I can. Since it has been 22 years since I took college algebra, I don't remember a lot.

I have a degree in accounting, because it was practical, but I always wanted to get a liberal arts degree, too, just for fun. Well, mostly I want to take creative writing classes, art, history, and more science. I have taken environmental biology, geology 101 and 102, and glacial geology. I'd like to take marine biology, astronomy, agronomy, archeology, chemistry, and possibly physics (which I never had the math for before). It'd be slow going, maybe one class a semester, which would be all I'd have time for until the kids are grown. Not to mention afford, since R will be going to college in two years and T in six. I have no intention of taking out student loans for them or me.

Okay, back to math...

Edited to add: Got 40 out of 42 problems right. The two I got wrong were careless errors with negative numbers. My bugaboo. Oh, well, it's still 95%.

When Fandoms Collide

With the kidlets being sick today and in bed sleeping, I had a lot of free time on my hands. I've been doing a Supernatural rewatch on Netflix streaming. It was the episode that had Jewel Staite from Firefly on it and her character's name is Amy Pond, proving yet again that everything goes back to Doctor Who.

I've also been watching (for the first time) the modern 90210 (shut up) and I'm somewhere in season 3. The girls just went on a yoga retreat run by Claudia Black who played Vala on Stargate SG-1 and Aeryn Sun on Farscape. Her Farscape co-star was Ben Browder who played the sheriff in the Doctor Who episode A Town Called Mercy, Q.E.D.
