• I had a few bad sessions, but that's just going to happen sometimes.  I'm definitely not going to make my monetary goals at this rate, but I think my game is improving again so I'm not going to freak out about it.  We'll look again in a few weeks.

• Took the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP and got 77 of 80
• I'm about to go on vacation, but when I'm back I'll schedule the second test and start studying for the third.  My BFF is finishing up her math classes and has offered to loan me some of her materials and help me if I have questions, plus my neighbor is a math teacher.  So I think I'm set there.
• Completely clear enclosed patio of EVERYTHING that doesn't belong there
• 4/11/2010 status
• Scheduled friend to install accordion doors
• 4/23/2010 status
• Accordion doors and office plantation blinds installed yesterday.  Now that I *can* get into the closet to put away various office stuff, I will start getting that done.  Yeah, I didn't get very far on anything else I could have been doing.

I am nearly a month behind on two of the three areas I wanted to work on.  The first area (poker) I think I'm doing what I need to do and just need to hang in there.  The second area (schooling) I'm right on track.  The third area I've really slipped.  But the doors are on, the rain has stopped, the freezers are packed with food, and I'm about to have a week of refreshing, relaxing, rejuvenating vacation.  So I'm hoping to be fired up and kicking ass after that.
