...wanted to add that the testing went better than I expected.
Surprisingly, I decided against self medicating to get through it.
It was strange and wonderful, and felt right...I did not panic, count to 89,001 while it was being done, or any other of my usual things.
I just did it. I wasn't particularly happy about the noise, but that is true of any type of loud noise for me. In fact the background noise, not the noise from the testing, reminded me of the Shawnee PowWow drumming. Very nice!
At one point, I drifted off--woke myself up while I was doing the putt-putt-putt/blowing spit bubbles
Perhaps I set aside some old things, tested and worn.
Allowed an okey-dokey to take the lead
and it worked.
How nice...
In Peace
