Whew!

I went to the doc yesterday.

It is amazing to me the light headed feeling and the clammy skin, how quickly it sneaks up on me like I'm going to pass out... the poomsaes today are Still NOT enough, but I truly am trying. I hope that if we can get the 'pancreas attack mode' to settle down can get to putting some nutrients in my body and get caught up. I truly hope I am not so far behind that I can't catch up. I spoke with Master Shin and I am going to take at least another day off from class. I'm not tickled about that because I committed to help teach on Wed.

I hope everyone is doing great... Stay focused ! and Healthy!
A very nice Tuesday
