Needed Break

Why yes, I am taking time for a blog post. No thanks to CPA exam or Adobe.

Allow me to complain about Adobe for a moment. I am a long time Photoshop user (and actually other Adobe products) for literally years and product generations back. Today I have resigned myself to Elements due to a terrible subscriptions system being the only way to purchase Photoshop anymore. In the end this will probably be fine considering I don't build sites anymore, but way to cut off your loyal long-term customers Adobe.


As you can see I have taken to marking all over my most visual calender. Yes, first CPA exam is Sunday, November 23rd. I believe the current stage I am in is "acceptance."

That pink hanging sheet of paper includes all the things I am going to do Sunday after my test is over. I keep adding to the list.

I caught Leela this morning snuggling with a toy. Or possibly pretending she killed it which she did not.


We are in a super cold snap, but Nim and I are going totally nuts so it was jackets all around today and we spent sometime outside. For every several questions I got correct, I allowed myself to rake leaves. Ha!


My table is on fragile ground. I will get a new one next season. I wish I could say that damage was only cosmetic, but as it turns out it is not. This damage was during our series of recent wind storms.


I have power, a space heater, an electric blanket, and a horrifying amount of junk. I am ready for the final countdown to test!

PS...not loving Elements in case you are wondering, but I am sure I will adapt.

    1. We have to let Leela have her fantasy. :) He is cute in that shirt. That was Odin's originally. It has had a lot of use. He just ran and ran around the yard.

    1. The list is growing. :) Sadly it is just one test, but at least it will be over and I will recollect and start all over again.

    2. Celebrate the completion of every test! You have to have a little party before moving on to the next one.

    1. There is a total of 4. My goal is to pass each one, the first time around. Thanks for the encouragement. I am definitely ready for it to be over with and decently on task in my study plan.

      We are ALL in a cold snap. Ha!
