Hopefully you’re singing by now! Yes, it’s been awhile. I keep thinking, “I should blog” and then I get distracted. Four classes and all the other stuff in my life has kept me super busy lately.

So what’s new? I’m officially running for school board and it looks like no one is running against me. KInda scary to think I might actually be elected to public office! My sister who thinks to this day that I’m a total screw up will probably lose her mind when she hears about it. (She hasn’t spoken to me in 4 years, so I’m seriously concerned about her opinion. Not)

Maverick has gone batshit crazy the past couple of weeks. I’m not sure why, he’s fine at daycare but as soon as he gets home, he turns into a humping machine. His humpy pillow has had quite the workout the past two weeks. It’s frustrating, he won’t settle, I’ve resorted to giving him a calming pill but I hate doing that. I honestly have no clue what’s going on except that a) the weather has been great, b) there’s a full moon, and c) there’s probably another dog in heat in the area. Whatever the reason, I’m praying this behavior soon passes.

The first round of classes ended, and I got better reviews than I deserved. I had a great group of students and we really had a good time, we were required to do weekly discussions where they had to post something and respond to their classmates. I was sure we were all going to hate it, but I asked them for ideas, they responded, and it turned into a really fun thing. (The final discussion topic was “does pineapple belong on pizza” but most of them were more relevant to accounting) (The general consensus was that it does not) I’m currently on Spring Break till Monday, so I spent a few days getting things ready for the next session and since then I’ve been enjoying some days off.

I’ve been going to physical therapy twice a week and it feels like I’m making progress, until the weekend hits and I have to take Maverick to the park to walk because he doesn’t go to daycare. He pulls, still, and he pulls across me, so it constantly turns my body sideways. This undoes all the work I’ve done all week. Today I randomly mentioned that I needed someone to take him for a walk for me, and one of the therapists volunteered! She’s going to meet us at the park on Saturday and Sunday, I’ll walk with her, but she can hold the leash and I won’t get pulled. I’m really happy about it!

I’ve been sewing book pillows and have been asked for more. Unfortunately, I got the fusible fleece at JoAnn’s. I can find it on Amazon, but I hate buying that sort of thing without being able to touch it. Tomorrow I’m going to lunch with a friend and there’s a store right next to the restaurant that has fabric, so I’ll be taking a look there. Praying they have it!

I just finished the book 1776 – unless you’re an avid history buff, I do not recommed. I know, I know, it won a Pulitzer prize. I don’t care, Margaret. I just ordered Infinite Jest – another one that is supposedly a classic that we all should read. I hear it’s a “brick” (Peachy said that) so we shall see. I need something incredibly stupid and easy to read right now, so I’m looking at my Kindle collection. I’m refusing to buy more Kindle books since discovering that one isn’t actually buying the book, but buying a “license.” Yeah, screw that. I’d rather have a real book anyway. So I pulled out Truth Witch -and yes, I have the whole series – because I need totally unbelievable after all that battle stuff!

And that’s all, folks!
