It’s a blackend filthy catastrophy, this academic thing I need to get handled now. It’s been years and years, I really need to get a handle on it now.
So, in précis, here is my action plan for the upcoming board exam – 70 days and counting, ladies and germs.
I have signed up for the prestigious board course; hopefully for the last time. There is a written test about 3 weeks from now. In preparation for this test, I will complete the 2009 board exam and the 2008 board course mock exam. In preparation for the classes starting 10 or so days from now, I will skim through the board course file and theory.
Then, in preparation for the actual board exam, I plan to follow the board course timetable to the letter. I will study through the night if I have to, but I will get it done.
In addition, I have joined the gym close by and have approached all the grand parentals regarding baby watching over the festive season. They have agreed, which opens up my schedule a bit, especially since the crèche closes in 3 weeks.
My cup runneth over with to-do lists and quotes, notes and other rubbish. There is much to do and less time to do it in. I think I will put off Nanowrimo till next year. Who knows, I may even have a success story to tell by then. I can only hope, pray and study.
*sigh*

home schooling blues
I need a chair for my desk at home.
At this stage it looks like my studies have come to an abrupt halt because I am now fully planned at the office with actual work. What a bummer!
At home, there is the problem of not having a chair for my desk, so I never sit down and study.
When I do scrapbooking, I sit on the floor, because I need a lot of space. We have 2 desks, but no chairs for them. And the sofas are just too low.
As things stand now (ha-ha), until we spend some money (we don’t have) on some decent PC type chairs, I won’t hit the books again. And, that would be a tragedy.
And, no, the patio chairs we borrowed from his parentals are not adequate. Not only are they too hard, they are also too low and restrictive. No amount of pillows can fix this. I need comfort for the academic process to initialise!
In other news, the baby has taken to loudly declaring “babababa” and “dadadada”. She also indulges in yanking hair and jiggling keys – loudly. On hard surfaces for maximum effect. She is cute as a button though.
Today (and yesterday) I have lower epidural area back pain. This started when I carried the kid around at the mall yesterday. I thought my back would break. It’s not her fault that I am weak. But, I’m in some real pain today. It’s not fun. I had similar epidural ache for about 3 to 4 months after I popped the kid. It’s just a little eerie.
As I have mentioned, at work I am engaged in various projects; nothing too harrowing at present. I’m in a comfortable little niche at work. I know the people and their abilities; I know who’s work needs to be triple-checked and who’s doesn’t. Management is nice to me. Even more so ever since I passed my CISA exam – finally!
Financially we are still in the crapper.
I am happy. It doesn’t make for great writing.

No turning back
Morpheus stole the slumber from my eyes at the wee hours of this morning.
At my request, my cell phone blinked the time at me: 03h30.
I can only hazard a guess at the cause of this disturbance in my sleeping pattern.
Over the past 2 weeks I have been obsessing and pouring over my text books of olde. I have been attempting (and failing) questions. This is all in preparation for the board exam which has successfully evaded me over the past few years.
My dad has agreed to finance me once more – but, repayment has been deferred at this stage, to some unknown future time.
Wealth flows from only inspiration or desperation...
My baby is officially 8 months old, as of 2 days ago. She has a full head of hair, two tiny teeth, and is in the habit of repeating the sounds the hubby and I make, but without meaning. Her little pudgy hands just wanna touch everything. Sometimes she reaches too far, and topples. Like, this morning. Luckily, she doesn’t cry easily or for nothing. She was okay. This morning she smiled at a random lady in a shop. She has always been very friendly, which is very cute.
Crawling still evades her. But, she is getting there. She has been doing push-ups for 2 months, now. She also launches herself at things she wants. She loves that DStv remote. And, cell phones. She just can’t get enough of the taste of electronics, I suppose.
I have 6 months till I write, things are becoming real now. The registration process is underway. R3,000 for the exam. Not good.
Oh, damn you, Accounting, and your trixie ways! Thou baine of mine existence!
