Oh my, this was not my best day at Physical Therapy. I was so exhausted for some reason that I ended up only being able to do 1/2 of my exercises. I did do 7 minutes on the elliptical type machine but that was about all I could do. After doing 4 other exercises, I was done. I just couldn't do anymore. It is the first time I wasn't able to finish all my exercises. Wednesday is my last day for Physical Therapy. I have Occupational Therapy tomorrow. I think this whole week is filled with therapy. I suppose that would be because 4 days this week I have therapy of some sort. I don't even think I can do my home exercises tonight. I will skip them tonight.
I have had one student stop lessons for the summer now. Selma is taking a break until Fall. I am disappointed because she is such a good student, but I do totally understand. She is on vacation right now and won't be home for a few weeks. I am not sure what happened to Isaac, but he didn't come to his lesson today. I am planning on calling his mom tomorrow to see what happened. I thought it was just last week and next week he is at camp, not this week.
I only had 2 lessons today, Rachel and Bob. Rachel is now 7. She is such a cute girl. She works so hard at piano. Rachel started just over a year ago. Bob is retired and has been playing piano for a long time. I have had him as a student for about 5 years or so now. I am not sure exactly how long. Bob is playing a wonderful Sonata by Handel. It is one of my favorites and it is 5 pages long. He is also playing one of Bach's preludes. It is really a neat one and he should be done with it by the end of summer, just in time to start on, I can't believe it is coming to that time again, Christmas. Because he is advanced, we have to start on Christmas in September. Many of my older and more advanced students do have to start Christmas music in September. The other ones can wait until October. I love Christmas music a lot. Mom used to have this rule that we couldn't put on Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving and we had to turn it off on New Year's Day. This was started because I listened to my little Christmas records all year long and it drove my mother crazy so she started the rule when I was small. Now that I can listen to it whenever I want, I find that I don't want to hear it on the radio or on a CD until after Thanksgiving. However, to in order to be ready for the concert in December, the students have to start early with the songs.
Tomorrow I have several lessons because Deema and Wama will be absent on Thursday so we are making it up tomorrow instead. I also have my 2 regular students tomorrow too. One is voice and the other is piano.
I am going to read a bit. I finished the Kristin Hannah book this afternoon so I am reading a different one now. I sure hope therapy goes better tomorrow than it did today.

Sunday 7-8
It has been a good weekend. Yesterday, I didn't have any lessons and I had no plans for the day. In the middle of the afternoon, I got a call from my uncle asking if I would be home later. They wanted to come and visit and pick up their packages that had come for them. My aunt, uncle, cousin, and I had a very nice visit. We caught up on what was going on. Then we went to Target to get some shorts for Jayson, my cousin. My aunt and uncle took me to dinner too so that was really good. We went to Olive Garden. I got my usual soup and salad, keeping up with the healthy eating I have been working on. I did take a bit of my Aunt Michelle's stuffed chicken. It was rather good. I may try it in the future. We'll see. I do love Olive Garden though. It is one of my favorite restaurants. I am really glad they came over.
I had 2 lessons today, a voice lesson and a piano lesson. I missed church this morning because I wasn't feeling too well at 6:30 this morning. When I got up later, I was feeling much better. Tomorrow I have about 4 lessons. I have Isaac earlier than usual because it is summer. So far this summer I have not had anyone quit for the summer. That is a rare thing, but I am very thankful for it. The students do take time off for when they are on vacation, but that is only for a week or two. I am just glad my students are having lessons during the summer.
I bought the series of Missing. They are supposedly only doing 1 season although the way they ended it, they could do a second season. I wouldn't mind. It was so awesome, well, the few episodes I saw. I like Ashley Judd. She is a good actress. I have seen her in a few films.
Right now there is a Law and Order SVU marathon on the USA channel. Army Wives comes on next. I like that show too. With Mom in the air force and then the army, I grew up in a Military family. My dad was also in the army. I remember going to events and parades with my parents, and then just with mom. Sometimes, we three (Richard, Andrew, and I) had to wait for a long time outside of the officers mess. We usually didn't have toys with us to play with on these days. Mom would talk to everyone for so long. It seem like forever to us while we waited. I will admit, I hated waiting for her. It was so boring waiting while she would have something to drink and talk. I was relieved when I was finally old enough to stay home and not go.
We finally have cooler weather today. Thank goodness! The highest temperature was only 82 degrees today. Now it is about 75 degrees. It is a nice break from the 98 to 101 degrees we had ALL last week. It is supposed to only be in the 80s this week. I am so glad for the break as, like so many of us, I ache more in the extremes in temperature. It doesn't seem to matter if it is extreme heat or extreme cold, I just ache. I also had 3 days of a bad headache because of the heat. I am glad that it too, is back to the normal, everyday headache. I finally am going to see the new neurologist next Tuesday. I have filled out much of the information I have to but I do have finish the rest of it. I also have the paperwork for the occupational therapist. I have Physical Therapy tomorrow. This is the last week. Wednesday, I will be finished with it. I do have to change my day for Occupational Therapy because it will conflict with the doctor's appointment. I also have to get X-rays on my hands next week sometime. I need to get this done before August 1 when I have another appointment with my arthritis doctor. I also have to do another test for the Gastro doctor this week too. I should have done them last week, but I forgot. I didn't write it down in my planner so I have it listed on my things to do this week.
I am reading a good book right now called "Home Again". It is by Kristin Hannah. I love her books so much. So far, my absolute favorite Kristin Hannah book is "Magic Hour". It is just such a good book. I love reading. I read something everyday.

dance moms 7-3
I am watching dance moms on the lifetime channel. It is entertaining to me because of the reminders of what life was like when I practically lived at a dance studio. I danced for years, ages 16 to 23. When I started I was a junior in high school and it was after my surgery for scoliosis. I have 2 rods in my back. They are fused with bone to the spine. I also grew 1 1/2 inches after my surgery. I was upset because they said I would grow 2 inches and I only grew 1 1/2 inches. Hey, when you are 5 feet and 1/2 inch, that extra 1/2 inch means a lot. Anyways, the dance competition is called Star Power and I so remember that one. We attended it every year for about 3 years or so. When I became a teacher and no longer competed, I took my classes to that competition. I also sang at a lot of these competitions. I am thankful for the experience although I do not miss the stage mothers. The first time my mom came to a dance competition, I was really nervous because she had never seen me compete before. Yes, she had seen me perform at recitals and things like that but never in a competition. I sang at that one too. I sang a song from Phantom of the Opera. Mom was very excited for me. She was so excited that she sent in my entry to the Nationals a few days later. Mom told me as she was leaving for work. We had to go to Pigeon Forge for the Nationals. I worked really hard to really nail my music. I won first in my division and 4th for overall solos. I was so excited about that. It is the only trophy I actually have left. Somehow the others were accidentally donated. Thankfully, I have one left. That was the last time I competed. I concentrated on teaching after that one instead of competitions. Some of the girls I danced with now own their dance studios. It is quiet awesome. I ran into one of them in Dearborn a few years ago when I was at the Music Competition. It was quite neat. I don't miss a lot of things about life at the dance studio but I do miss dancing. I wish I were healthy enough to dance again. At least I can dance in my dreams!
Today was the initial visit with the occupational therapist. She was really nice. I have to fill out some paperwork for next week. It is an easy questionnaire. I will do it this week so I will have for her next week. Lori, the therapist, was happy that I have made some adjustments when I was and dry clothes since I have a hard time getting the clothes out of the washer and into the dryer. She suggested I get one of those reach thingys. So I am going to. I think they have them in Walmart or Target. I will check it out tomorrow. I also can get the movie Mirror Mirror! I am rather excited about it. I am hoping to watch it with the Hubels. I don't think there is anything objectionable in there that would prevent Rachel to watch, but I would rather they check it out to make sure that way I will know that all of us can watch us.
Rizzoli and Isles is on right now. I really like this show. I like Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. Sasha I first saw in NCIS and Angie was on Law and Order. Both actresses are really good.
Tomorrow I think I have my 3 little ones for their lessons. They are such cuties. They really are. All three play so well especially since they started after Christmas. All three have finished 2 books and are on their 3rd book, all in 6 months. Yes, 6 months. It is so hard to believe how they are taking to piano. I may have a new online student in the next few weeks. I sure hope so.
I have a bit of a bad headache tonight. I sure hope it goes away soon. I won't be able to sleep if it doesn't.

physical therapy day 7-2
Next week will be my last week at physical therapy. I thought it was today, but I have two visits left. I found that out this afternoon. I start occupational therapy tomorrow. I am not sure what that is going to entail so I will find out tomorrow. I am not sure what other days I will be going to occupational therapy. I have it for one week, 3 times a week and with this week being a holiday in the middle of it, I am not sure what that is going to mean.
I saw my girls this morning. They are doing really well. Sarah is learning about sharps this week. We did some of her theory book and note speller book together. She was a bit confused about her assignment so we finished the assignment together. Natalie and Hannah are both working on a Clementi Sonatina. Hannah is also working on Knight Rupert by Schumann and Natalie has a song by Chopin. For some reason, the name of the song escapes me tonight. Lydia is also playing a different sonatina by Clementi. She is playing another piece too besides another Harry Potter song. All three of the older girls picked their summer concert songs. Sarah will pick next month so I am not worried about it. Hannah picked a Tangled song while Natalie picked a Lord of the Rings song. It is one of my favorite from Lord of the Rings movies. The girls are currently borrowing my Lord of the Rings movies extended versions. They are in the middle of Two Towers. I told them they really need to watch some of the extras on it especially the commentary. The cast commentary of Fellowship of the Ring is just simply awesome! I get a good giggle every time I hear it. I hadn't heard it in years until just recently. It was really interesting to hear how they created some of the scenes. I find that stuff interesting. Not interesting enough to be a part of the entertainment industry, but interesting in general.
I didn't have any other lessons for the day. Selma is on vacation this week so no Selma tonight. I do have 3 lessons tomorrow so that is good. I also think I have 3 on the 4th. I believe my little ones are coming for their lessons on Wednesday. Antoinette is having hers on Tuesday instead. David is absent too.
I finished the 50 shades of grey books. I am not sure exactly what I think about them outside of the main characters remind me of Bella and Edward in the Twilight books. He has the same colored hair, same type hair style and is a control freak. She has long dark hair like Bella and doesn't argue too much about the control freakiness. It just has a lot of the same feel of the twilight books only it is for adults and has very much adult themes. I am reading Harry Potter number 6 right now again. I had put it down to read the 50 shades books. I just needed to read something different that is all.
I am going to read for a while then head to bed. I have to be up a bit earlier for occupational therapy.

first of July!
It is Canada Day today! Most of my relatives live in Canada while my brother and I are the two who live in the USA. When I was small, we celebrated both Independence Day and Canada Day. Mom always had both flags on the table for a centerpiece. It is just one of the things that Mom did. She said we needed to know about both where we were from and where we lived.
I had a couple of lessons today. Yesterday, I had one lesson and then I went to Charlie's graduation party. It was a lot of fun. I went with Heather B-T and family. Acer and Calli were in the water pretty much the entire time, which is not a surprise knowing those two. Acer and Calli love swimming. Calli went tubing too and she rode in the boat 2 times. She was one excited girl. Acer went on the boat too. I am glad they had such a good time. I did too. I did not make the same mistake I did last year, which is go down to the water. There reason? There are about 69 steps to get to the water and well, that is about 60 too many for me. I did that last year and about passed out climbing back up. It was difficult and I wasn't going to do that again.
I get my girls tomorrow for their lessons. I am so glad about that. I missed them. They were on vacation last week. I have seen some of the pictures and it looks like they had a good time. I am glad they are home. I want to see the movie "Brave" in the next few weeks. It looks like it will be a good movie. It just looks really cute. I know the girls want to see it too.
I woke up in the middle of the night with something important to tell Kathy. The problem? When I got up this morning, I forgot what I wanted to tell her. I thought perhaps if I called her I would remember. Yup, that didn't work. Next time, I will get up and go and write it down. I did remember to call Jessica to see when Brianna is going to have her lesson this week. It was kind of funny because Kathy finally had the house to herself and she was bored. I thought that was pretty funny. Of course, she wasn't feeling too well either. She is just getting over a summer cold. Those are so bad.
My friend, Andrea, posted the sweetest thing on my face book page! She is such a lovely person! I just wish she lived closer to me.
Well, time to look and see what music I need for the week and get it ready! Another musical week begins tomorrow with my lovely Muglia girls! They are the first for lessons this week!

Tuesday 6-26
It was a quiet day here today. I had 3 lessons. Tomorrow I have Isaac again. This is a make up for next week. I have to get up at 9:30 am again for his lesson. I don't mind. I also will have my monthly (in this case, biweekly) protime blood test. I don't know why I have to have it in two weeks this time, but that is what the doctor required so I will go. I just hoped I could have waited a month this time like last month. Oh well I am not the one in charge, Dr. G is.
Laith had his lesson for the first time in about a month. His mother has been ill so he has missed the lessons. He is so silly and funny. When he arrives, he races to the chair or the couch and covers himself up with a blanket. I always have blankets in the living room. He waits for me to come and get him. It is a routine for him. I got him and then he went to the piano. He played his lesson very well. Even though he didn't practice too much, Laith played his songs well. Selma had her lesson too. She is just flying through her books. I did get her a fun book that goes with the series. It has some songs she knows and a few that she doesn't but I think she will like them too. So far she likes the book. Selma got sunburned today. Her arms and legs are so red. I felt so bad for her because she isn't going to be able sleep too well with that sunburn. I try to stay out of the sun because I don't tan well, I just burn not to mention that I get sick from the sun too. If I am out in the sun for a long time, I have to wear a hat so I don't become too ill.
Rizzoli and Isles in on TV right now. I really like this show. I found it by accident. It is on the same time as NCIS Los Angeles and I don't have a DVR. Fortunately, NCIS Los Angeles is in re-runs so I can watch this and not miss a thing. It seems the shows I like are always on the same night. Not on nights I have nothing to watch, always at the same time.
Mirror Mirror came out today but i can't get it until next week when I get my check. I plan to watch the special features first. Snow White totally kicked butt and saved the prince. I liked that about the movie. She got the guy and she kicked butt. The sword fighting was super cool. The beast was pretty neat too. It was interesting how she fought the beast. I can't tell you anymore because I will spoil the movie's ending and I don't want to do that. It is a good, entertaining movie.
Tomorrow is also physical therapy again. I have occupational therapy for my hands and shoulder next Tuesday. I am not sure what occupational therapy is about, I am just going to try it. I also need to get my hands x-rayed. I should have done that last week, but I forgot. Whoops! I had the time too. I need to call and get the hours for their outpatient x-ray department. I know I went on a Saturday before and that they also had Sunday hours. I will call tomorrow.

a funny thing happened at the bookstore yesterday
Well, I met with Star yesterday. I picked her up and we went to the bookstore together. We had a nice time chatting together. We talked a lot about dance. Both Star and I danced for a very long time. She through out her childhood and me through out high school and college. I do miss dance and I would love to dance again, but with my illnesses, there is no way I could ever dance again. Star also has fibromyalgia and her hips, knees, and feet are messed up from dance. I can totally sympathize because my hips, knees, and ankles are bad from dance too. So anyways, Star and I were getting ready to leave because the store was closing and this man walks up to me. He asks me if I am married. I said no, then he asked if he could give me his phone number and would I call him? Oh my, what can I say? I did say yes, although I don't have any intention of calling him. I just don't. I didn't know what to say so I didn't really say anything. It has been years since I was hit on. It was such a shock to me. I was stunned and speechless (I know, speechless, me?)
I got my blood tests results back that Dr. A ordered. She is my arthritis doctor. My hemoglobin is very low, much lower than they were in November, which tells her somewhere I am bleeding again. She is going to have iron studies done. I have another test I need to do for the tummy doctor so I will do it this week. I keep forgetting about it. It just isn't at the top of my mind or list of things to do but I will do them now.
I had a busy morning and early afternoon today. Isaac had his lesson earlier than usual because his mom had a conflict at his regular time. Rachel and Brianna had their lessons before I went to physical therapy. Physical therapy went okay, not great, but okay. I am happy with how things are going but my physical therapist really isn't since the pain level doesn't seem to go down past a 5. For me, 5 is a good number. I usually have pain around a 5 on the scale of 1 to 10. The pain is better and I keep telling him it is. At night, when the pain is the worst, it is much better than it used to be.
Well, I am getting a bit tired now. Time to do a bit of reading before heading to the comfy bed.

She is going to have iron studies done. I have another test I need to do for the tummy doctor so I will do it this week. I keep forgetting about it. It just isn't at the top of my mind or list of things to do but I will do them now.
I had a busy morning and early afternoon today. Isaac had his lesson earlier than usual because his mom had a conflict at his regular time. Rachel and Brianna had their lessons before I went to physical therapy. Physical therapy went okay, not great, but okay. I am happy with how things are going but my physical therapist really isn't since the pain level doesn't seem to go down past a 5. For me, 5 is a good number. I usually have pain around a 5 on the scale of 1 to 10. The pain is better and I keep telling him it is. At night, when the pain is the worst, it is much better than it used to be.

Saturday 6-23
I have had a very, very, very quiet day as in no lessons or phone calls or anything like that. I went and ran some errands. I needed to pick up some medicine, one prescription and the other over the counter, and I needed gas. I don't like going to low on gas so today was perfect to go and get some. I also stopped at the usual to pick up my salad for dinner. It was a month ago, today, that I got mad and started eating healthy. I am feeling better, I have even noticed I am not as tired during the day as I used to be. Hm, must be something about that. I won't dwell too much on that.
There is not much on TV on Saturday at about 6 pm. I have checked every channel and no, there is just not much on unless you like sports, which I really don't except for gymnastics and ice skating. I am watching the end of Game Plan. I have seen this before and I do have it on DVD. It is a good movie, but I wanted one with more action and stuff. Okay, that movie is now over and the TV is off. Maybe I will actually put in one of the many DVDs that I haven't watched yet. We'll see.
Tomorrow I will be meeting up with Star. I am looking forward to that. I was supposed to see her last week, but she wasn't feeling up to it. She is feeling a bit better this weekend so we are going to get together tomorrow afternoon or evening. I am not sure which but some time tomorrow.
I am rather tired this evening. I think sometimes not having lessons or plans for a day can be more tiring than a day with lessons or plans. Tomorrow I will take my customary after church nap and then go see Star. Carolyn and I are hopefully going to be practicing our song this week so we can sing it for Lee. I really like the song she picked for us and she can play her ukulele with it. That will sound so awesome I think. We sing well together, I think. We just need to sing it for Lee to see if he thinks it is appropriate for the service.
Well, I am going to read for a bit now before I turn the TV back on with a movie in it. I think I will watch something I have that I haven't seen yet. I have many choices. Oh, and speaking of movies, Mirror Mirror comes out on Tuesday! I can't wait! I am planning to get it. I love how Snow White kicks butt and how evil Julia Robert's character is. She is awesome, not to mention the king is really hot too (Sean Bean).

Friday, again? 6-22
I can't believe it is Friday again. Wow, already? It did help that I totally slept most of yesterday and last night. I had my scope at 9 am yesterday. My friend, Heather B-T's mom drove me home and then she picked up her mom from my house. I am very thankful for the help since I was not allowed to drive yesterday at all because they knocked me out for the test. (Thank God for that! I am sure I would throw up if they didn't - oh wait - I did do that once!) I had some lunch since I couldn't eat before the scope and then headed straight to bed. I woke up again at about 4 and then was back in bed by 5 until 10. I was back in bed by 11 until this morning. I did wake up earlier than usual because I had slept so much yesterday. My ulcer is healed, the only thing left is some irritation where the ulcer was. I am to stay on the prilosec and the xantac though. I guess in case I get another one or to prevent another one. I didn't ask so I am not sure why, I just know to stay on it. It seems like I take a pharmacy of medicine daily. However, I have eliminated some medicine so my pharmacy isn't as big as it used to be. I suppose that is a good thing.
I have no lessons this weekend again. It seems so weird to have a weekend to myself. I am meeting with Star on Sunday sometime after church. I can't wait because we have such a great time together and she has been a bit sad lately. I hope I can cheer her up a bit. We will probably go to Barnes and Nobles or Ram's Horn for the afternoon or evening. We can talk up a storm, she and I. Kelly won't be able to come with us this time since she is going to be at a family thing this weekend.
I spoke to Kathy today. I also got to speak to Samantha and Alicia. They are having a good summer so far and they were trying to help mom paint her toenails. I laughed at that. I can only imagine how two 5 year olds can help mom do that. We were talking about MacGyver and how much we loved that show and Richard Dean Anderson. He was (and still is!) so hot! Anyways, we had good giggles talking about the video she and Amy made when we were in college. It was the greatest moments of MacGyver. It was a fun video and I laughed when I finally got to see it. Kathy is hoping to someday take it to a place where they can convert it to a DVD and then she will also make me a copy. I know we will laugh a lot with that video. It was really funny then and since we still think he is hot, it will be funny now. I really hope she does that. I want to see it again.
Calli and Acer had their lessons today. I haven't seen them in a few weeks due to illnesses and such but they were here for their lessons. I have to get out the Over the Rainbow for Calli. i forgot today. I also need to get some new music for Natalie this week as well as copy the double trouble song for the 3 of them. I will type the words for Brianna and put it on the flash drive for her. Calli will have to braille it out because her notetaker had to be given back this year. I wish I had enough money to buy her one so she would have it all the time, but they are very expensive and I don't have the money. She forgot her stylus today so we couldn't braille out the new part to Per La Gloria. She only had to learn 2 new lines so it isn't too much, but one of the words is really hard. I think she got it pretty well. Natalie is finishing up her Italian song so I need to get her another one. I also need to copy her I'm Gonna Wash that Boy song. I made her change the words from Man to Boy because she is only 12 and it creeps me out to hear a 12 year old sing man. I mean, really, she shouldn't be into men, just boys. She didn't seem to care that I had her change it.
Well, I am almost done reading the Harry Potter series again. I think by next week I will be finished with it. Probably by the end of the week, I think. Then I will need something new to read again. I have some other trilogies and series I could re-read too so I may just do that. I might go to the used bookstore and see what they have of the authors that I like. Either way, I always have something to read.
It is supposed to be the low 80s this weekend. I am glad for the relief. It has been super hot already and it is only just beyond the mid of June. I don't want to think how hot July will be although with the strange weather we have had all winter, July might be colder than June since April was colder than March. I do live in a weird weather state right now.

Goodness of Friends Tuesday 6-19
I am so thankful for friends. I know at times I need to let them know how much I appreciate them. I am really blessed because my friends are so good to me. It is partly why I didn't want to move. I like it here a lot and I am settled here. I have my students here too. I am not that far away from my family either so that is good. I just feel this is where I should be so I am.
This month is flying by me. It just is. I have a no lesson weekend coming up again. I am hoping to meet up with Star and Kelly. Star was not feeling too well last week so I am hopeful for this week. It is so nice to be friends with former students. I am friends with several former students who are now all grown up. I have attended weddings of former students too. Other than church and visiting with the girls, I have no plans this weekend at this point.
I had a few lessons this afternoon. I had my Richards' girls. They are so sweet and are playing so well. They started at the end of December and all three are in their 3rd book already! They are only 5 and 7 years old! Yeah, they are so amazing. Her mom and I decided to go to a straight 1/2 hour for each instead of 20 minutes each because we go over all the time and they need 30 minutes each at this point. The twins, Jillian and Brooke are starting level C in the prep series and Aubrey is starting level 2 in the basic series. All 3 girls know their notes so well. They are just so cute. I had a new student, Minh (25 years old) today too. I have to pick up some books for her. She is a beginner. David also had his lesson. We had an hour today because he missed last week. He is doing well with the songs he is singing. He has the most trouble with the Italian piece, but that is to be expected as it is the hardest piece he has. Tomorrow, I only have 1, which is okay because I had the Richards' girls today instead of tomorrow. I also have physical therapy tomorrow. I have 3 (I think) sessions left. I know I at least have 2 sessions if not 3. I don't know if they count the initial visit as the first session or not. It was just to see my range of motion and to test my strength level. I also ached so much that day. Lately, the pain has been less so I think the physical therapy has really helped me a lot. I have been working on my home exercises too. I guess that this is better than taking more medicine. I also am hoping the new medicine will help with some of the pain as well as my anxiety. I haven't had any anxiety attacks lately, but my anxiety has been pretty high lately. It isn't as high as it was right after Mom died, but at times it feels just way too high for me. I need to have it lower. I teach and function much better with less anxiety. It has been a few years since I have had medicine for anxiety but I think it is time to have it again for a while until I have it under control again.
I have my scope on Thursday. I hope my ulcer is better. I guess i will find out on Thursday. I hope I don't have to have a scope for a long time. I won't be teaching that day either so it makes it bad all around. Thursday is my busy day and it is choir too. I will be missing choir on Thursday night because of the scope. I will also miss my students. I will sleep most of the day though, if it is anything like last time. Heather's mom is driving me home. I am not sure exactly how she will get home from here or when she will go home but I know Heather has it all under control. Tomorrow I will find out exactly what time I have to be there. So far it is 9 am. That is just so early in the morning for me. I am so not a morning person. I don't get crabby or mean or anything like that. I am just really out of it and it takes me a few minutes to realize I am actually awake sometimes. I used to come down the stairs and sit on the bottom step when I was young. My brothers used to get in my face and ask me if I was awake yet. I would look at them with like, huh, what? kind of looks. I didn't really like it when they did this, but they found it amusing. Sometimes my mom would ask them to leave me alone and let me wake up. I have always been hard to wake up that is just me. I am not with it in the morning. I am much more a day person.
It is so hot outside today, about 96 degrees with lots of humidity. I am not sure the percentage, but it feels super high. It is supposed to be hot tomorrow and then lower 80s for the rest of the week. It is supposed to rain on Thursday but not until then. My grass is turning a beautiful shade of brown. I don't really care too much right now.
I do hope you are staying cool. It is just so hot here.

Saturday 6-16
Wow, it is the end of the week already. I don't remember a week going so fast. I remember Wednesday and the suddenly, it is Saturday. I was going to hang out with my friend, Star but she is not feeling too well and having a rough day. Maybe next week as I won't have any lessons again for the weekend. Kelly wants to get together too so maybe the three of us can hang out together.
I am watching RV on TV again. I have the movie and I have seen it several times. It is a very funny movie, very funny. Then again, it is Robin Williams. Kristen Chenoweth is also in it and I just love her. She sings beautifully too.
Tomorrow is Father's Day. I tend to ignore that day. It is a day that I use to buy Mom stuff because in reality she had to be both Mom and Dad from the time I was young. I actually really don't remember him at all. I only know what he looks like because I found an old photo album that had a picture of him in it. it does make sense that I don't remember him as I haven't seen in over 35 years. I don't really know if he is even alive at this point, although I doubt it. He would be 80 something at this point. I tried to find him when I was in my 20s, but I didn't. Last I heard, he was in Texas. That is where the stepmonster is from. I didn't like her too much. She didn't like us either. I remember right after Dad got remarried (for the 3rd time) she told us to call her Mommy. Yeah, that didn't fly too much with me as I had a Mommy and she was in Michigan. At the time, Dad lived in Ohio. I do hope that tomorrow goes by quickly.
Last night I went to bed super early because I was so tired. Unfortunately, I woke up again at 2 am and was wide awake for about 30 minutes before going back to sleep. I woke up on my own at about noon for a change. I woke before my alarm, which is so unusual for me. I don't generally wake up before my alarm on a day where I need to get up early for teaching. I was so excited about lessons today though because Camille is back! Yes, my little one that had moved and quit because I was too far away, well, she is back! Camille will have every other week lessons for an hour each. I am so thankful she is back. I missed her! She is such a good student. Brianna had to cancel and reschedule for next week because of Father's Day. I was disappointed but it IS Father's Day weekend. I am not sure when she is going to have her lesson next week, but I should find out next week sometime. Emily had her lesson today instead of yesterday because she went to a birthday party. She had a good time. Apparently, they went swimming and played tag. All in all, it was a good teaching day since I did have Camille and Emily. I have no lessons tomorrow. Tomorrow in church they are going to have a special something for Father's Day. I imagine afterwards I will be taking my usual after church nap! Other than that, I have no plans. I did some laundry today so I am set for the week.
I am not sure how much weight I have lost but these shorts are actually getting a bit big so I am glad about that. I am trying not to weigh myself because I can get upset over numbers and I am trying to not be upset over numbers. It is about being healthy, not a number on the scale. My friend, Missy had the sleeve surgery. So far she has lost about 140 pounds. I am so proud of her. She had the surgery a year ago. At first she had a lot of problems, but I think they have been worked out. I did think of surgery a year ago, but since I have a blood disorder, I am not a candidate. I also know several people who had the different surgeries and have had problems ever since. I don't want to wait a year to have the surgery too because there is so much stuff you have to do before hand. But since I am not a candidate, none of it matters in the long run. Besides, you have to change your eating lifestyle before and after the surgery so I am just changing my eating lifestyle now. It has been since May 26. That was the day I changed how and what I ate. I have done pretty well so far. I have had a small piece of cake with raspberries in the frosting, but I only ate one piece, which is good for me. Pretty much each day I have eaten lots of vegetables. That was my goal, to eat healthier and lots of vegetables. I have wonderful berries in the fridge right now. I will have some for dessert tonight. A bowl of blueberries and strawberries without cream (I don't have any and I don't want any) maybe a bit of milk. I am working on drinking more milk. That is still rather hard since I don't eat a lot of cereal anymore. I did buy some better for me cereal since the type that I have in the house is Captain Crunch, which is FILLED with sugar. I am starting to feel a bit better with the pain level now that I eat better. I figure in about a year I will have lost a lot a weight and I will really be feeling better. I do not expect all the fibro pain to go away because I will still have Fibro, but it should help some of the arthritis pain as well as some fibro pain.
Anyways, I will be heading to bed in a short while. I am still on Harry Potter number 6. I am not sure if I will finish it tomorrow or not, but I am not in a hurry so it doesn't matter when I finish it.

Anyways, I will be heading to bed in a short while. I am still on Harry Potter number 6. I am not sure if I will finish it tomorrow or not, but I am not in a hurry so it doesn't matter when I finish it.
