Dealing with Depression

A lot of people have said the last year that they admire how I have dealt with the cards I have been given and enjoyed my positive outlook. Well, my outlook isn’t always so positive, and I know that currently I am dealing with a pretty bad depression. This has been going on for a… Continue reading Dealing with Depression

Four Elevators and a Lift

I know I haven’t blogged for a bit, and I don’t really have good excuses other than my life to me at least seems boring. I just spent the last three days at the Ohio Music Educators Association annual conference. I gave a session on Google Tips and Tricks that was well received, so that… Continue reading Four Elevators and a Lift

Energy Management

It’s officially the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and that means it is one of the busiest for any and all musicians. Just the day to day at school is taking more out of me, and it is a grind. I am up at 4:45am every school day, so that I am in the… Continue reading Energy Management

Neurology Follow-up

This past week I had a neurology follow-up again, finally. There is good news, and mixed news, but nothing that I would really call “bad news”. The first thing is they may never know exactly what happened this past January. Here is what we do know however. I do not have MS. Doctor was quite… Continue reading Neurology Follow-up

Settling Into Life

The last month has been crazy busy. I closed on my house, I moved, and finally my car came through and I am driving again. I joked to my primary care doctor and orchestra friends that I am finally a “full adult all grown-up again”. I must say it feels good, but it has been… Continue reading Settling Into Life

First off I am officially an Auntie as of earlier this week, so that is one of the “impending” things of September already done and dusted. My sister and niece are doing well and are resting and recovering… Continue reading Everything All at Once

Back to School

Now that I have been through a full two weeks of school I figured it was time for an update. Truth is things have been going really well, and the students are being generally good citizens. I know now that teaching from a wheelchair while not ideal in some of my classrooms is possible, and… Continue reading Back to School

House Update-Stealth Mode Edition

As the days go by we are getting closer and closer to my house getting completed. My sister, brother-in-law and I decided to take a stealth mode visit today to see how things were going. First in the garage are my cabinets and what looks like vanity tops and sinks. So that is exciting that… Continue reading House Update-Stealth Mode Edition

Summer Knitting Projects

I have had one of the most productive summers when it comes to knitting in a long time. I don’t know if it was having someone to knit for (my new niece) or just because I needed diversions but I finished several projects this summer. I am also trying to keep my momentum going on… Continue reading Summer Knitting Projects

House Update!

It’s been a few weeks since I dedicated a blog post to an update on my house, and this weekend is a great time to get into it, because today I had my pre-drywall meeting and I thought it went really well. It is hot and sultry today, but we had the meeting right before… Continue reading House Update!
