It's been two weeks since school started and I've already had to use some thumb holding down and write up a student. I've also already had a grandparent yell at me for an extended period of time before I finally decided that I was not going to put up with her mess anymore. Not the best way to begin off the school year, but then again, I'm not going to put up with that kind of crap.
I've lost a grand total of 20 pounds so far. I'm glad that I was able to do that at least. I need to continue to stick to the diet even when I feel like I want to eat everything in the house. The issue is that I'm a stress eater. :( Not a good thing, but it happens. Plus, I love bread... it's my downfall.
Things on the audio front have been going well. It's coming along nicely on the projects that I'm working on. We'll see how that goes.
I also mentioned this on my Facebook. A student that I had last year passed away on Wednesday in a car accident. Very sad and very tragic as far as I'm concerned. She was one of my favorite kids. I wish that she had been able to stay longer, but I know that when the Father calls you home, your job is done here and you have another one awaiting you in paradise. At least she's not in pain. That, I do know. I am praying for her family though and I do hope that God just wraps them up in His arms and holds them through this ordeal and for many many months afterwards.
It's been a long summer and it looks like it's going to be a fairly long year - even when it seems that the days have been going by fairly quickly.
We have been finally getting some rain around here. Thank goodness. We have been in a drought for awhile and it's wonderful right now to see mud. It's a blessing even when there's trash out in the yard from the wind blowing it in. I'm not worried about that. Trash can be picked up.
I still need more time in the day to do all the things that I need to get done within it and I'm just wishing that I was able to do more... but I do need to use the facilities, sleep, to work and eat. It's just that I have so much to do and I want to get to it all. It's not fair that I have to stop doing something because my body isn't working for me.
That's something else. My back/hip has been giving me issues. My hip keeps going out of alignment and it's just frustrating that I can't sit at my desk for long periods of time to get the stuff done that I need to get done. :(
Better get to work on some more audio. The more that I can get done, the sooner it can get out and that will mean the sooner that I can get paid for it. :) I'm not worried about getting it done. I'm putting Colonial Radio Theatre: On The Air first and foremost.
I know that it's a long post, but in the end, I guess that I've been far too quite on my blog. I know this and I'll do my level best to get better about that. I need to blog it so that I can get this crap out of my system and so that I can keep a record of all the interesting details in my life down - even when they aren't so interesting to some.
