Some of the stupid traffic crossings I’ve done without sleep shades I know the Lord was there! I did a diagonal crossing once at dusk which could have been really disaster us since it was during really rough traffic. They say you always get hurt close to home. This was half a block from the apartment in Madison Wisconsin where I live.

I’m going to bed since we’re going to adult class at 9:15 tomorrow morning. It’s raining here so we’re taking Uber. Oh BTW we means my boyfriend and I. He’s up here as well but he is almost done with his training. I’ve known Chad for nearly 30 years but was stupid enough to lose track of him and marry someone else. We both did that. No I’ve got quality Christian man who is not perfect but he’s perfect for me. He supports me emotionally most of the time and respects my dreams.

Keep the goal in mind and try to focus on it.  Tit is so hard to not follow.  I usually try to get up front and do my own thing.

>> Thank you Tammy! Everything else seems to come pretty easily to me. Well not the technology stuff. The travel is definitely nightmare for me. Mentally I know that I can do it. Tell that to my emotional side. They’re not listening to each other! I sure don’t like going places in packs of blind people.

I'm originally from Mississippi, so the thoughts of me and that white stuff are strangers.  Hahahaha!  I have been there for a convention.  Seemed like a great place for an adventure.  Yep, travel will keep you until the day you complete the program.  Braille and computer can too.
