I'm supposed to be at Dragoncon!

But instead I'm here, studying the math part of the Praxis test. And there's something very wrong with me. I can't place decimals right. I know how. I just manage to do it wrong every single time.

I've taken Chapter 1's review practice test FOUR times and I'm still screwing up little weird things. When I finally (FINALLY!) manage to get the decimal in the right place, I mess up something stupid like simple addition so that it comes out one tenth off.

Or worse, I'll go back to double check that I didn't make a dumb mistake and there will be something completely bizarre in the answer space. It'll be a number with nothing to do with the question. Did I leave my body whilst writing and not know it? Do I need to make a hat out of alunimum foil??

What is wrong with me that I can't do this?

I was in the gifted program. I graduated high school. I graduated college. Why the HELL can't I do grade school math??? Granted, it's many years after the fact, and I wasn't exactly good at it then, but STILL!

Maybe I need sleep.

We have a new pastor at the Barrow Church.

He reminds me of what the child of Richard Simmons and Tom Baker might be like. He's very bouncy and has a brightly colored scarfy thing, for starters. It's a far cry from the monotone sermoning we had before. And a little unnerving.
