Happy Thanksgiving, Cadre. I have a lot to be thankful for this year, it feels like more than ever before. It's been a stressful year, yet wholesome and worthwhile. Pertaining to TSC, I'm thankful for the friendships that have been forged in the however many months I've been a member, and the rekindling of hope in humanity. Guys, we're one hell of a group; we jump in to help each other out in an instant, no questions asked, and that's incredible. Thank you for teaching me that helping people can extend beyond when I'm on the clock, and is way easier than I could've ever thought.

I've had this...I think cream kinda...sitting on deck all week and I figured today is as good a day as any to try it out. This way in a big box of stuff that @CBLindsay sent along with a bunch of other CBL trials and tribulations. I've been wanting to use it for some time. To be honest it smells like I'm drinking Dr. Pepper in front of a Christmas tree. I can kinda pick out the marshmallow, but the campfire note(s) are a bit out of reach for me. That being said, it's a wonderful scent that's worth the little tingle that I got. I'm not sure where this lies in the progression of Chris's experiments, but I got the usual great performance. I only went with two passes because reasons. I'm reasonably close today.

No picture. Imagine me sitting in front of a Christmas tree drinking Dr. Pepper and shaving.

I don't know why I decided to listen to PTV today. They're great musicians, but the signer's voice can get a little irritating after a while. I love Jason Butler, though. I'm a huge fan of his stage presence and that he is a very outspoken activist that gets out on the streets encouraging people to speak up.

I gotta go do stuff or something. It's just Venessa, myself, Emma, and Matilda this year. Oh yeah, something cool that I found out yesterday is that I scheduled my exam on the five year anniversary of when I took my first EMT exam; it'll be momentous and very sentimental if I pass that day. I hope everybody has a great day. Thanks for reading, Cadre.

He really is, but it's payback for not having his back in his thread against @MrsNurseDave. 🤣
 
Sounds as though you had a great Thanksgiving, Ben. Judging by your excellent study habits and stellar past performance, I have no doubt that you'll pass the upcoming exam with flying colors.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, Bruce. I'm hitting the books unfathomably hard because apparently I don't know anything about the cranial nerves. Nothing I can't fix in a day.

Day two of three. Yesterday was relatively relaxing. That's pretty much it. I've been studying with my student since I walked in, so I've been productive.

No rhyme or reason to today's shave. Just kinda felt like it for the most part, and I guess there's a German theme with the soap, brush, and razor. I had a nice 3.5 pass shave. I think I might take a break from shaving during my upcoming 6 days off so my face can catch its breath. I don't remember if I was close to BBS or not. Doesn't matter.

Mediocre Australian pop punk to get the day started.

Gotta get back to work. We're two calls in and I'm trying my hardest to keep my temper. I hope everybody is having a great Friday. Thanks for reading, Cadre.
