OMG! i'm not chained to the program another 3 months!

By the way, to anyone who might care about my sanity and weight loss and ability to cope, i passed the exam that if i failed might have meant another 3 months of school for me.  Having passed this exam, i feel ready to tackle at least the next few weeks, if not months to get to the end of this long slog.  Thanks to my absolutely amazing husband who has stood by me, loved me, endured and suffered me, and has been my compass and strength in really hard times, and thanks to everyone else who believes in me.  Sometimes i forget to do it for myself.  Your visits, packages, notes, phone calls, well wishes, thinking about me, hugs, all of the things i'm not thinking about right this second, all have helped me stay reasonably sane-despite the pounds lost, the tears shed, the time lost, the missed moments....well you know.
