Opportunities vs. Deadlines

I've been thinking a lot about all of the elements/requirements for phase 1 of the 2011 BB testing. Do I have everything? Did I do a zip-bang-wow job, or just "eh"? Did I totally miss the boat on anything? What happens if I run out of energy and pass out where I stand during testing? (Please don't call an ambulance, how embarrassing... I'll regain consciousness eventually)

Then I have to stop and think... We made it through so much last year, and started it all even earlier this year (talk about gluttons for punishment... err.. opportunity!)... If we did it before, we can do it again... and we can do it all even better!

I now get funny looks from coworkers as I use my cubicle as a stretching space an push-up haven... I walk the halls practicing forms using my brain & hands (I'm pretty sure the people I pass probably think I'm an interpreter for the deaf).... While last year's empathy training has taught me to listen to my surroundings to know exactly where I am so I can walk & still play solitaire on my iPod without walking into traffic (miscalculating can lead to a very bad day).

The point being, there are very few things in my life that I've worked this hard on and have been this determined to accomplish. We are a team. We will not fail.
