I'm graduating soon!

I haven’t posted for ages, but I’m very excited and wanted to update a few people.
I have ONE MONTH of massage therapy school left. :slight_smile: It’s been kind of an ordeal…I got sick (interstitial cystitis) halfway through, then there was a mutiny in the school and it shut down for several months. It worked out well for me, as I had time to recover and was feeling somewhat better by the time it reopened.
Anyway…after I graduate, I need to pay the remainder of my tuition, take my state exam, and I’ll be certified and can go to work in a spa or on my own.

I’m so happy about this change. I’ve been wanting to do massage for years.

In other news, the kids are doing great. The gender-questioning kid is still working through it all, but is feeling good about things and has a great support system in place. The older brother will be a senior and is an all-around good kid.
I’m feeling very lucky and blessed!

That is so great! I’d kinda been wondering where you are. Glad to hear the illness is gone.

I’m in remission for now, and it’s heaven. I was pretty much out of the game for a year and a half. Say what you will about acupuncture, but it made all the difference to me. Right now (since March) I’m pain-free and medication-free…I’ll take it!
Thank you, Baker! You’ve been such a good friend to me. If we ever end up in the same town, free massage for you!

congratulations! :slight_smile:

And I’ll bring chocolate chip cookies!

Very happy to hear all the good news!

Welcome back! Glad to hear all the good news!

Glad to hear all of your great news! Thanks for chatting with me today, by the way. It really helped.

ETA: glad you are pain free. I hear IC is terrible.
