One step forward, 2 steps back

-
I have no idea how I did it, but there is a muscle on my right side that is so out of whack it hurts to breathe. When we returned home from the Gala Saturday night I could barely make it into the house I was in so much pain. Perhaps I am working my arm to hard and over compensating. Perhaps I am tense when out in public. Whatever is happening it is a spiral of backwards progress. I try so hard to have a positive attitude, to work hard, to be ready to go back to work... I have exactly 2 weeks left and sometimes I don't see how it will be possible. I was awake last night every hour. If I take pain medication it gives me  headache and I need to "recover" for a full day. - I was useless yesterday - so last night I braved the night - and now I'm functioning on no sleep. I know it will get better. I know I didn't take 5 weeks off to enjoy myself. But 5 weeks of constant struggle and I'm going to go back exhausted and cranky. I want to go back refreshed and able to serve my students. I'm up and moving today...going to give the day my all. and hope that I can truly begin to move forward without having these huge setbacks.

My boy loves his game time. When this whole virus-crisis started, his school continued as usual. The benefit of being homeschooled. Poor kid watched everyone around him get these huge breaks.

Happy Spring Break my sweet boy!

What a day this turned out to be... On Tuesday June 2, a movement with the hashtag - TheShowMustBe Paused went bat SH!T crazy in my opinion.  It was promoted by the music industry to PAUSE ourselves, our music feeds and our MUSIC related activities for a day in support of making changes.  As usual people posted whatever the heck they wanted. with no regard to the true intention of the day. Which, on all accounts is their right...but every post turned into an argument over this or that and the finger pointing - oh for heavens sake.  I saw criticism for people who continued to post, people who think all lives matter, people who claim not to see color...the list goes on and on until it consumed me. Consumed me to the point I feel prosecuted as a white woman of privilege. Quit accusing me of crimes I didn't commit!  so I wrote this:  If I corrected you for using the "wrong hashtag" it was because I care about the cause we are supporting. I wanted it to get the credit it deser

I started being more active on my Instagram story by posting daily... It has been a LOT of work but it's fun. This quiz was hard actually. Brought back memories of high school when I put paper clips through my ears as earrings. What a rebel.
