Check yourself.
Even though I don't start back teaching piano 'til after Labor Day, I have managed to fill my days with errands and such. I don't mean one or two little things to get done, but lots of things, all over town. I know that this is the time to get them done, before my free time becomes seriously limited, but I am feeling a bit run over. Bam.
But God has given me His name and His Son and His Spirit, or, more accurately, God has taken me and given me to His Son and His Spirit. So I am happy...and busy. I also use "doing lunch" to maintain various friendships and relationships, and it seems to be a good fit for other people, too.
One of the biggest afternoon-killers has been the physical therapy appointments I've had to go through b/c of my feet. I started running with Josh W. back in May/June to keep in shape, but I underestimated what the pain was that developed as I continued to run. Thinking that the intense pain I kept feeling in my feet each morning after I ran was due to my advancing age, I kept running through the pain, even when my right foot "snapped" during a run. I actually felt the moment of damage.
Were I more experienced runner, I might have recognized the onset of plantar faciitis and achilles tendonitis. Instead, I kept running, 3-5 times each week, and I developed it in both feet. So my tendons etc. in both feet are seriously inflamed, and the physical therapy is the step before my doctor injects cortisone in my heels. That makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it.
So no running, but I will soon be elliptical-machining my butt off.
Bowtie Bryan is smarter than me. I'm thinking his parents just misspelt his real name, "Brain".
Now that I'm back in school, there are so many classes that seem interesting. It's a disease, I think. Even though I am teaching a full schedule and a theory course with Carrie, I am drooling over the following classes (well, some of them):
MUSI 4120: Form and Analysis
MUSI 3220: Music History 2 (required, am definitely taking)
MUSI 3460: Piano Pedagogy 1 (I will take this, unless the prof changes her mind about offering it)
MUSI 4140: 18th Century Counterpoint (!!! I will take this for sure one day)
MUSI XXXX: Bach (Not sure of the content, but it's an analysis of his works.)
See what I mean?! So much to do and so little time (and money) to do it in (with). No matter what I take, it will be a very interesting semester.
