Let's GO!!!

My RX went to Germany!??!

Years ago, we had to switch to mail order prescriptions when our insurance changed. I was hesitant at first, but it's actually very convenient for maintenance prescriptions!

I received a notice earlier this month that my refill delivery was delayed. Eventually, USPS tracked it down:

How in the world did it end up on a military base in Frankfurt, Germany!?!?!

So glad the mistake was corrected and the pills were sent back to the U.S. 😆

Congrats, Leslie and Kathy!!

In my CE2 alternative program, students do independent study to earn their academic credits. Once they fulfill the requirements, they're done! (no waiting until June if you don't need to!)

We had our first graduate in October...

Congrats, Leslie!!!

And our second graduate was yesterday...

Congrats, Kathy!

We're all so proud of you! Can't wait to see what the future holds 💚

(PS - They do get to come back for the official gradation ceremony in June!) 🎓
