Rants, Recipes, and Running

Good news...I think!! First off...we are both feeling better! No more vomiting. No more "feeling like we're dying". Good times! NCLEX is behind me. It shut off at 75 questions. I was the 1st person in the room to leave. Kind of an eerie and awkward feeling...to be honest. The test could be 360 questions, or 75. It all depends on how you are doing. It adjusts the questions based on if you're getting them right or wrong. So I was happily taking my test. And I answered question #75 - and the screen went completely blank. .......................... I sat in my chair and look around the room. I thought to myself "Can't I get a few more questions??!!

Just kidding...if for some God-awful reason I fail - I can always retike it. ....in 45 days after paying $700 MORE dollars that I don't have ;)  (but that won't be happening!) In all honesty, I was feeling pretty confident. But my husband & I got some excellent "bonding time" last night. We got the stomach flu together. How. Effing. Cute. Yeah, not happy.
