    haha...it's good. it's a little surreal. part of me feels like i should be heading back to the hospital any minute now, but it's not going to happen. I have to take care of myself now.

    how's the last few days of your summer break?
  3. I feel like I should be counting the hours - go back in exactly one week. All my teacher friends and I are frantically trying to have as much of a social life as possible in the next 7 days!

    that can't be easy. but you had a full summer right? I mean, you got a lot done?

    (sorry that took so long, i had to hobble over to the kitchen to get an icepack)
  5. AW! Hope you had one. Or a bag of frozen peas!
    Yeah, I got a lot of relaxing and visiting and whatnot done but I'm looking at my list of 'If you were a good girl you'd get this stuff done' and not much has been crossed off. *shrug*

    My kids are starting to email me, excited about the new year though so that's good.

    What's on your plate now? Where do you go from here, so to speak? I can imagine life was sort of on hold for the last 8 weeks.

    Remind me what grade level you teach? Middle school? High school? I'm 99% sure it wasn't elementary, but forgive me, because I've forgotten. It seems weird to me that students and teachers email back and forth now, but I guess that's technology these days. Crazy to think how far we've come in the past 15 years.....

    Life for me in the last 2 months was definitely on hold. I had just started a new job about a week and a half before my injury. Fortunately, they have been incredibly gracious in working with me and concerned for my recovery. My job is still being held open for me there, and I'm anxious to get back to that....once I'm ready. My mom has been here in CA (from Minnesota) since the day after this all happened and will stay for another week and a half. I'm supposed to get "home health" where a physical therapist and occupational therapist will come to my apartment and work with me here, but I'm really anxious for the next step after that, which will be out-patient physical therapy (much like the setting I was in for the last six weeks.)

    wow, i wrote a lot.
  7. I was wondering about your job (but I didn't want to say anything incase it was a sore subject).. Glad to hear they're being cool

    Yeah, I teach High school. I got a facebook page at the request of some alums and now all my kids contact me that way - weird I know.

    Did you get a chance to hear any of the re-releases yet?

    Ah, facebook. Where would we be without it!? It's crazy how many people I've reconnected with after years and years through facebook. (I'm sure you have the same kind of story). I've been updating a "friends and family" blog through this whole situation and writing journal updates for people to read, and the link to it is on my facebook. A lot of people that didn't know what happened found out that way.

    I haven't heard the re-releases yet. Have you? It seems that the general consensus is that Boy is great, but the others aren't as hott. (yes, hot with 2 "t's," because that's how i roll.)

    Youz a ballah!

    Okay, yeah, i can't pull that off.

    Ooh, you should look me up on FB - Maryann Green, Tucson. I just had a conversation today about whether 'friending' should be an acceptable verb.

    I got the Boy re-master and not much has really got me jumping for joy. I'm looking for some new bands. Need to get over to NPR - All Songs Conisdered

    Man, I'm not as much of a nerd as this post makes me sound, I swear! *pushes up glasses*

  10. Anyone still around?
  11. Howdy!
    Love your avi. Grumpy Larry FTW

    Total nerd. That's okay, I used to listen to NPR podcasts as I walked to work for my old job. Oh, to walk to work again. The cool thing about my current job situation is that my roommate works for the same company, so he's been able to be my advocate while I was away. He kept them informed as to how I was progressing, and made it sound like it wasn't really as major as it was.
