All Good news!

COMMUNITY COLLEGE:
I start classes tomorrow at a local community college. My company (the one that laid me off) got a government grant for training and is sending a lot of their people for this Catia V5 training. I'm not sure how much I will ever be able to USE it since it is a 3D design software and I'm NOT a designer. I'm still going to take all the free training I can get though. Also, there are 10 of my very good friends (co-workers) that will be in the classes. I haven't seen anyone from work in 6 weeks and I miss them. It is lonesome not working. So I have classes on Mon. and Wed from 5-9pm until the end of Aug. I am looking forward to it.

MI WORKS:
I went to the Michigan works and asked about the "No Worker Left Behind" program. I was wisked in back to get an overview and take 3 timed tests (and me w/o my reading glasses!)
I found that I completly SUCK at math! I seriously cannot do long division. I forgot HOW. I only made it partially through that section...how embarrassing! Luckily for me they help you every step of the way at this place. This is a training program that re trains workers in a different field. I am qualified for this program. I have my first appointment with my adviser on July 1st.

QUILTING:
My mini group got together yesterday at Gail's house. We had some show and tell and some sandwiches and talked a mile a minute. Then we went to the LA and fooled around with different feathers and leaves. Margaret showed me the way to get the shape of my leaves right. I was so stuck on that!


DIET:
It's TIME. I have denied it long enough. I have looked away and made excuses until I have run out of them. I am about to embark on a 6 week high intensity program. I am hoping for good results. I won't be done at this point but should have a good start. I'm ready for tomorrow.
I start tomorrow!

Good for you on all points! It sounds like the classes will be fun, retraining is good, learning to do your leaves is great, and yes, taking care of your health is very important. Take care!
