3 years

Wow!!  It has been three years since I last posted.  Now that I have it for my phone, I shall try to update more often.

Summer is almost over as we are heading into Labor Day Weekend.  I have no real plans except for just hanging around. I have one lesson on Saturday and one on Monday to teach so it isn’t that bad.  So much has happened in the last few years!!  I still have stomach bleeds about once or twice a year.  Considering the meds I take, it isn’t bad.   I have about 13 students right now.  It is a good number. I could take a couple more on but that is about all.  I get way too much pain and exhaustion if I have too many. We did a community service recital this summer as we have for the last few summers. I only allow my students to pick happy songs and songs that the seniors would know.  Once September hits, it is time to dig out Christmas music and competition music for those who are attending.  I am not as involved as I used to be.  The politics have gotten to me.  It just seems to me that my help isn’t wanted. Last year the job I generally do was no longer available and the job I physically can’t do was. So I have come to the conclusion they aren’t interested in anything I can do. If my students want to go, we will go, if they don’t, we won’t. That has never changed.  I have never forced any student to participate.  I don’t believe in that.

Peony is doing awesome.  She is such a beautiful dog!!!  She is my heart!!!!  We enjoy hanging out together as much as possible.  We have two more dogs in the house now.  Xynda, who is a pit bull/boxer mix.  She is 11 and so so sweet. Then we have Valerian.  He is a Yorkie. He is just over a year now.  Peony plays with him unless he is in my room.  She barks him out of my room.  It is like she says no my space.  You can’t invade.  She is getting better at that though.  Xynda she lets do whatever Xynda wants.

Currently, I am doing physical therapy for balance.  My posture is not very good these days so I am going to pt two days a week.  Boy, does it wipe me out!!!!  It is helping though.  That is the good part.

Not much else going on right now.
