Great Ginormous Sigh of Relief

Phew! Just finished taking the state exam for massage therapy-- three words for it. Piece of cake. I feel this bizarre giddy/calm/unreal feeling. This was something I was a bit apprehensive about, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. Let's hope hurricane Rita is the same sort of thing-- scary on approach, but not so much when you look back on it. Many of the people taking the test came from various points across the state--as far as El Paso(!), a few from Dallas, and some from Galveston and Houston. Best of luck to you all-- may the wind and water be kind. I have to admit, I was a bit embarassed to live so close to the testing site. It was a mere 10 minute drive, and they held it at the most posh hotel I'ver ever been in. Just amazingly luxurious. Besides the test, there were a large number of people with dogs-- must have been a dog show in town. It was quite nice to see a pet friendly facility, particularly one that posh. I suppose for what they charge, they can afford to clean up after any "wee" accidents. If you are ever here, stop by the Rennaissance Hotel on Arboretum Blvd, and see what I mean. Wowsers!
