Waiting to hear if Dh has to start chemo again. You guys rock.

Long day today. My Dh has leukemia, thank God it is non aggressive, but it is insidious. It keeps creeping back in. I work full time, nights with the mentally and physically handicapped, direct care, which means cooking, cleaning toilets and wiping behinds! I also am the minister for a lovely little country church. Syodically appointed, not ordained. I did take some classes from a seminary. No college. I went to 9th, 10th grade in high school, skipped 11th then dropped out in 12th. I went back as an adult and finished, but had low opinions about my future ability to do anything involving math or chemistry. I am so excited about being able to find and take this route. Your advice here and encouragement means the world to me. I have just finished my first Aleks course (not college level) and have started my second. The next one will be my first college level. Surprise, surprise, I love it!
One of the many nice things about my job at night is the time I have to work on classes. (Awake position but lots of free time). I have enrolled in Excelsior, though have not communicated with an adviser yet. Actually, I am amazed they accepted me! Thanks to you folks I feel that I can do it. All of it. I just wanted to give you more info in case you were curious. And, because if dh has to have chemo again... well, it is hard, as some of you know, all too well. So far you have directed me to Aleks, figured out what to do about my computer and how to change to another course at Aleks. I am going to sign up for my first Clep test too. (Again, after reading your posts, I am going to do the one on sociology.)
I look forward to a time when I might might be able to pay it forward here, in appreciation for all you have done.
