It's me, Charity

 Well I told you about the 6+ inches of snow we got on Easter Sunday. By Monday afternoon it was melted away. This is me around 2ish I think. And a lot of it was gone, By 5 pm it was completely gone!  I wouldn't have left my house but I had to go get allergy shot 2 of 3 thanks to the new vials of goodness.  One of my students Mom's told me about Clove Oil. It's supposed to be really helpful for toothaches and in some cases can help heal them. I figured an Essential oil isn't going to hurt anything so I amazon primed myself a bottle. So apparently when I got it Sunday i didn't put much on as it wasn't bad tasting like my student had warned me. But Monday I got braver and put more on my applicator, and well... this was my face as i was desperately trying to dry it and not swallow the stuff. It tasted like Christmas. Let's just say I would prefer to smell it, vs taste it.  Tuesday I headed out in a deluge of rainfall to a concert. It had been...

So when we left off with last week's recap, I was regailing you with the tales of the extreme dental pain I was in. I had to suffer all of Monday before I could get in with the Dentist on Tuesday. Helpful with emergency apts, they are not. I did manage to get a little bit of sleep on Monday night, and was up early and terrified Tuesday morning. I don't know why I was so scared, but I really was. I played "Lord I need you" on the piano before I left to try and calm myself down, I was walking around my house praying out loud, I was terrified! I think I was most worried they wouldn't be able to figure out what was wrong with me, that they wouldn't be able to fix it that day, or that they would and I would get sick from the numbing. The last three times I have had dental work done I have gotten flu like symptoms from the numbing shots. The first two times were somewhat far apart, and both times I thought I just had food poisoning. I threw up over night bu...

So for months I have been planning to hold my studio's recital this past Saturday the 14'th. Invites went out. Programs were designed. A venue was found. Students practiced. And practiced. And practiced some more. Plans were made for April to come to IN and stay with me to help out the day of the Recital and be moral support, and also rejoice with me! April arrived late Friday afternoon. About 2 1/2 hours after April arrived, so did the snowstorm. I stayed up super late Friday night trying to gauge how much snow we were going to get, and whether we should call off the recital. I got up early Saturday, snow is covering everything, and still coming down. Parents were worried, I was worried. Around 9:30 I decided it was in the best interests to cancel it and reschedule for a later date. I didn't want to put anyone in harm's way, and just didn't feel good about all of us being on the road out in the mess. I am very happy I made that call. It only got wo...
