It's me, Charity

 This week was really busy! Which I feel like is going describe each week until I go on Christmas break. There is Recital prep galore, and prep for my own solo concerts. It's just a really busy time of year for me. #MusicianProblems   But! At least I get to enjoy the beauty of my trees and decorations! I have no idea why my phone makes the lights like this when it's dark outside and I take pictures of my tree, but it is really pretty! My students loved being able to decorate Miss Charity's tree. And while some of the branches have so many ornaments on them that the branch is hanging lower than it should be, it still looks great to me! And a piano mom gave me a great idea of how to get them to help UN Decorate the tree, which is what I really hate doing, so I'm excited to give it a try during the last week of lessons!  It snowed a little bit on Thursday, but it iced a lot. My Bible study is Thursday mornings and I knew the weather was forecasted to not be g...

 Well it's almost been two weeks ago, but better late than never! Last week I ended my Sunday by starting this Amazing book by Lynn H. Blackburn! After reading this book she has become a new favorite author! Review coming soon!  Monday was sunny and I was comfy and cozy relaxing while teaching with my comfy shoes and a foot rest. Some days just call for foot rests.  I got this huge christmas mug at a garage sale with my Mom but didn't want to wait until Christmas to use it. I am that person that's using a snowman coffee cup in July.  Thursday I was sporting some sunglasses that i, yup, you guessed it! got at a garage sale. And yes I washed them in my sink. It was also warm enough for a sleeveless shirt and yes that is a blue tank top that doesn't match the pink shirt i am wearing. Mid day outfit change and i was too lazy to dirty up another tank top that matched. I ran some errands, got my allergy shot and treated myself to a coke icee at Targe...

 The words to describe last week would be Snow & Snot. Sunday I started feeling like I was getting a cold. Monday when I got up it was clear I had one. It had snowed over night, so I got to use my new to me borrowed snowblower for the first time! Despite not feeling well I was pretty jazzed to try it out!  Don't ask me about the weird gloves I'm wearing.  I have no clue. After a slight technical difficulty with the extension cord not fitting the plug in, I got it going, and managed to clear my driveway and sidewalks and my neighbors sidewalk. My cord didn't get me to his driveway. Which I felt bad about until I was teaching later and heard a snowblower. Someone had come to do his driveway!  Wednesday. Oh Wednesday. There were numerous times that day when I wanted to sit down and bawl I was super sick by Weds, and realized I needed to see my Dr. So I made a same day sick apt for later that afternoon. I got ready in the hopes I could ...

Well let me tell you.... Week 40 was not exactly a banner week. It started out bad and ended not the greatest.  Last Sunday when I got up for church I could tell I was getting sick. As the day went on it was clear I wasn't getting sick, I was already there. Monday I got up and slowwwwwwly got ready, i was determined to teach even if I had to breathe out of my mouth. Well, After taking a shower and putting on the bare minimum of makeup. I was sitting on the couch forcing myself to eat (should have been a sign right there) and I dozed off while eating! What am I, 90? No, just really miserable. I finally reluctantly cancelled all my lessons and laid down on the couch. I was miserable. Just miserable. I really have no words about Monday and Tuesday other than misery, coughing, sneezing, BLECH. My cold moved into a Sinus Infection and Bronchitis  in the blink of an eye. Which was not surprising with my sinuses.  Wednesday I was back at work, and wearing alll the c...

 This week's wrap up will be short and not so sweet, because I came down with a bug in the middle of the week :( I should be thankful that I have made it this far into the school year without catching something! Although a lady sat beside me and hacked her lungs out during the entire church service today so I have a feeling that is coming my way.  ANYWAYS, Last week started out on a VERY happy note, because my (annoying) neighbors were moving!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I was!   I had some free time before teaching so I made a quick run to Aldi's and found this butternut squash sauce that I should have picked up for my Parents and Sarah #1. They have an addiction to Squash.  Friday (yes we skipped a few days) I was feeling better, and after running some errands and hanging out with my Mom while she was in town. I picked up Jboz and we headed to a fun event for a little girls night! A friend of mine WROTE A BOOK. Yes, that deserves to be in a...

Monday was my first Monday working since I got sick with the ear mess. I had to drink coffee at my break around 3:30 because I was SO.TIRED. I barely made it thru the day awake and by the time the last student left at 7:30 I collapsed on the couch and pretty much didn't move the rest of the evening! Tuesday was my day to go visit my friends at the nursing home.. I wore a sleeveless top and knee length skirt and sandals, and packed a fan just in case. But when I made my way to the 100 Wing I was pleasantly shocked to find... AIR CONDIDTIONING! Y'all I can't tell you how excited I was! It's usually super hot in there, since the bay window area isn't used all day and the residents are colder natured, so to feel that AC on full blast was amazing! Especially since I still had a fever from my ear ( Don't worry, not anything I could pass on to the residents, unless they were inside my ear with my ear tube ;) ) I took this at the end, and one lady...
