Another Post.

So I haven't posted, which is o.k. because no one's really noticed I'm here yet.

I figured I'd just start typing and see if anything brilliant happened to come out... but it's not looking too promising at the moment!!

It's been a while since my visit to Kripalu, and a while since I've even been to a Yoga class. Been sick for the past week and a half, the week before that there were no classes, the week before that there was massive flooding in my area, aaaaaand before that I was just trying to soak up the end of summer and return to school.

Ah, "the norm". Not too excited about it, but lately I've been finding little jump-starts that remind me why I'm in this profession, and why I haven't left yet -- although I've been saying for at LEAST two years that I really want to. While the profession of teaching is rewarding in itself, there is a whole lot of CRAP to deal with all around the actual job of teaching. OOh, and here's what else I learned this weekend: professional musicians are totally underappreciated. Figures I have chosen the two most intrinsically rewarding careers to be my two main sources of income.

Curses.

On the up-side, I went to a concert band rehearsal tonight and was really excited to play again. And I'm even STILL excited to play again! I now have FOUR current outlets for playing... Woodwind Quintet, Community Orchestra, Concert Band, and a Big-Band jazz group. AWESOME!! I'm also currently in a few artistic hobbies... knitting, collage, and photography. I haven't taken many photographs lately because I've been so busy trying everything I can make room for... but it's always on the edge of my brain.

So there's the current update. I should learn to go to bed so that I can get 8 hours of sleep.
It's just not happening. I DON'T WANNA!

Peace, all.
