One step forward, two steps back

Despite my best laid plans, I feel like I'm losing ground. My niece spent MLK weekend with me and we had a good time. But I did not get any requirements done. I did not see patients in the office Tuesday, but I did a lot of administrative stuff. Classes were good. I can do my turning kicks, but I'm not as fast as the guy behind me and I feel like I need to get out of the way before I get kicked. Also, after a few fast turning kicks, I get dizzy. Saturday will be interesting. 

Planned to help with testing tonight, but could not get back on this side of town in time....it is not even raining, but there were a ton of accidents. CMS closed schools for tomorrow and the governor has declared a state of emergency....so I suspect it will be bad. I cancelled my office. There is no reason someone should get killed in a car accident on icy roads trying to have an annual exam. Be safe people!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the study guides. I'm going to pick key things to really know because it is obvious I will not know everything. Since I will have an ice day, I'll be practicing all day.
