Well, it's flooding outside. The rain has been coming down in sheets since this morning. The weekend is halfway over. Dad and Paula are about an hour or so away. I am really excited to see them. I have been practicing tool talks and cleaning my house all morning. I actually got sleep last night. The night before was the worst thing ever. I woke up every two hours with my right arm on fire. I had to get up and walk around to shake it out for about fifteen minutes until I could try to sleep again. I think I got maybe 5 hours of sleep total and ended up getting up at 5:30. Nice sleeping in. The chiropractor adjusted my neck, elbow and wrist yesterday and I think it really helped. I was able to sleep through the night last night. And we have two more days of practice before our final exams on Wednesday. Just thinking about it makes my hands sweat. But, I think we got it. My crew is solid and we have good communication, problem solving and situational awareness. Should be a good day Wednesday. I really hope all 13 of us pass that day so we can celebrate at the Chicken that night. I am super excited to head north after next week. I am hoping to just head north after work on Thursday but it depends on if there is a Chicken that night or not.

I have a lot more to write about I feel but I am not in the mood to write. Portland got a little lonelier with all this damn rain. I feel bad for my dogs not going out today but it is really ridiculous outside. I will try to be better about keeping this updated.
