Sigh...

Just need to write a little to decompress. My brain is exploding.

• Still no grades posted. Which is annoying since I turned in my residency stuff over 3 weeks ago. One of my expert mentors went to a meeting for Belmont and I e-mailed to ask how I did and all I got back was a "You'll know Friday if you passed of failed" Really?! that's all I get? 14K and 3 weeks and you still can't tell me how I did!?
• My dad is doing better but I can't tell you how stressful it is when he is sick. I've said it but I can't say it enough, it is absolutely horrible watching you parents age. I love them so much and I've always known they were invincible but it's painful when you can actually see just how human they really are.
• Kitty Dot seems to have a little respirator thing going on or something she keeps sneezing. Doesn't seem to feel bad, hasn't had any contact with other cats... but sneezing constantly. I was hoping to wait til my mom got home so I could take all three of my "children" for their yearly visit but this can't wait and I can't handle all of them at once. Soooo Kitty and I will take a trip up to our Drs. on Monday.
• I'm trying to study for my boards but it's so hard to concentrate on it with dad, school, graduation, our massive trip that still needs planning, allergy shots, doctor visits, house work, dealing with life... it's hard to stay focused.
• It smells and sounds like summer outside. Kind of weird since I was wearing a hoodie a couple of days ago.
• My announcements are officially in the mail, which is a relief but I'm still kind of stressed out about it for whatever reason. 
• Trip planning has been pretty stressful as of now since I won't have my phone to navigate us around and we are only taking one backpack a piece so we can't take our travel books. It's going to be so much fun but there is still alot of planning to do.
• I finally got our plans all set for next weeks graduation celebration, which include the hooding ceremony, graduation at 2, photographs for our family (husband, mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, 2 nephews, MIL, FIL, and my grandma), dinner at Steak and Shake (yes you read that right, I've decided to celebrate my doctorate at Steak and Shake) and then hopefully some partying downtown. 
• I really want to go to a Predators Game. I wanted to go on Thursday but Jason wasn't feeling so good... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some tickets go on sale on Stub Hub Monday so we can go. I'm so proud of them and my other hockey teams. :)
• I don't think going to Wal-Mart on a Saturday night her in small town USA is a smart decision for me when I'm trying to remain positive about living here.
• We live sooo far out I can't get a carpet cleaner out here. Can you believe that?! I'm so frustrated with that. 
• I hate that my mom isn't going to be here for mother's day. Love my mom!
• There is soo much to do and so little time to make it happen. Ugh, Veterinarian, allergy shots, dry cleaning, cleaning out my room at my parents house, studying, graduation rehearsal, graduation, transcripts sent to NBCOT, scheduling the boards, taking the boards, work physical, TB testing, trip planning, international drivers license, soccer banquet, chaperoning Les Mes..... and on and on. We leave the 28th of this month...  
• 20 days?! Maybe I need to look into the temporary license but if I don't pass then I lose the license and ultimately my job. UGH.
• Lastly, my tummy hurts.
