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

Wheelchairs and Things
Today was another huge appointment, the meeting with OT and and National Seating and Mobility to finalize the paperwork of my new made to me chair. The timeline above lists that I can expect my chair anywhere between 2-6 months. Nick from National Seating and Mobility thinks I should be on the shorter end of… Continue reading Wheelchairs and Things
Sleepy Sunday Thoughts
Bit of a sleepy Sunday Afternoon around here. Things seem to be calming down a bit, which is good and bad for my recovery. I always seem to have to be doing something, and I feel like I am not being productive just “recovering”. I know my body needs rest, and I know that I… Continue reading Sleepy Sunday Thoughts
Keeping the Peace
We did end up finishing everything for Tuesday when the movers came to put my life into storage. Then my Mom’s wonderful housecleaner came in and did wonders for my place. Seriously she’s never looked so good. If you are in the Middletown, Franklin, Monroe, Lebanon and West Chester/Liberty Twp. area and are looking for… Continue reading Keeping the Peace
No Recovery Manual
If you’ve been keeping up with my Stardate Instagram/Facebook posts, you have probably seen that I had a frustration cry again on Sunday morning. Lots of reasons for that.

Everyday is filled with research, discussions, and ultimately… Continue reading Moving in all directions at once
The Mental Side, and the Importance of Family
I’m not going to lie. The loss of my independence at least for the short term has started to hit me hard. I know the best thing for me is to go to my parents, and although I love them tremendously, that doesn’t mean I want to live with them full-time. They are working hard… Continue reading The Mental Side, and the Importance of Family

This weeks disquiet project was to take a windchime track and put it in your space. It is based on the art of Chris Kallmyer which more can be found here: http://www.chriskallmyer.com/portfolio-item/2-hearts/ I decided to play the track on my old jam bluetooth speaker, which is actually a very powerful little speaker, and still does… Continue reading disquiet 0484- A Movable Heart
First Disquiet Project
I have wanted to participate in the Disquiet Junto for a long time, but again many things prevented me (mostly computer hardware) from fully realizing this goal. This week’s topic spoke to me, and more details on the topic can be found here: Disquiet0481 I love the sarabande from the 2nd Cello Suite by Bach… Continue reading First Disquiet Project
WELCOME
Welcome to my grand experiment. Can I keep a blog? Can I produce music that I want to produce? Can I keep up with my podcast Music for Teens? Can I participate in the Disquiet Junto? Will anyone read my musings and rantings? Will anyone listen to my music? I am a classically trained violist… Continue reading WELCOME
