My life feels a litle like a country song right now...

I'm sorry that so much is not going your way I hope that everything resolves soon, and I'll cross my fingers that you win another lottery when you're able to have the light and space to do it.

Sorry, hope that song starts playing backwards soon so you can get your health, Linus's health, the furnace and baseboard and your time back.

Oh my gosh! I feel for you! This, too, shall, pass. I promise. I had 6 plumbers to my house within a month of moving in - and the prior landscaper to figure out a water leak issue 3 times. (In California you get heavily penalized.) It took 4 tries to fix a broken window - three goes and an electrician to get my oven installed, etc. etc. etc. It is always worse when you feel crappy. So sorry - and it WILL get better.

It's an online class, so you have to video your sessions and send them in for review. You need light as well as space. You get homework then feedback. You send in several videos per week. It's $260 for the six-week class, so you definitely do not want to half-a$$ it! They have a lottery system because so many people try to sign-up for the gold spots (only 8 per session) and not everyone can be at their computers when registration opens due to work or that it's at 3AM their time or whatever. Sometimes everyone trying to sign up will "break" the network. So, they went with the lottery system. The homework is a weekly deal so you aren't necessarily able to videotape only on the weekends, otherwise, you'd be behind in class. To do this, I'd need to rent out our local training facility three times per week to video and practice which is not feasible as it would be three hours three times per week with the commute and I just don't have that capacity for six weeks.

In the summer when I am home during the week in the daylight, it won't be a problem. Maybe I'll get lucky and win the lottery a second time!

Yikes, $260 is not an amount you can throw away. I hope that you can win the lottery in the spring/summer. Hopefully more people will be busy with other activities and won't focus on signing up!

Oh no! I'm so sorry. Especially the loss of the class. And I hear you about the flu. I wasn't going to post this because it was so gross but . . . I picked up something, couldn't make it to the bathroom and wound up soaked in nastiness in the hallway. Went straight to the shower. Hate, hate, hate getting sick. All good thoughts.
