The good news today is that I got a call stating I was awarded one of the new scholarships that we've implemented at work, for a program I was looking at to go after a second master's degree.  This doesn't do much for the larger issue at hand, but I am seeing it as a victory, even if I can't follow through with it.  It's definitely a program I can't get through on my own funding.

I'm finding it hard to find motivation to make dinner tonight, much less prep for a walk.  If the heavy rain storms keep up I don't know how far I'll get anyhow.  I'm on such a roll though that I can't afford to miss a night.
