Getting Back in the Swing of Things

As I'm sitting here updating my blog, I noticed that I haven't posted since June!  I mean, I know it was slow around here, but I didn't think it was that long!  The summer was very slow around here because everyone was off enjoying vacations.  Then, in late September, early October, I was on my vacation ... 3 days in Disney World, and my 4th Tim Holtz Cruise (to the Caribbean)!  Now that I have all my pictures back, I really should post about some of our adventures.  Well, that's for another day.  Four days after I returned home from vacation, I underwent surgery on my left rotator cuff.  Why, oh why, did I do that?  I mean, it wasn't really bothering me, but the MRI showed a complete tear, so I figured I'd better get it fixed.  Well, yesterday was the 4-week anniversary since the surgery, and it still aches!  I'm a third of the way through physical therapy, and I return to work at Michaels next week.

Speaking of returning to work, I'm going to resume my classes here in my home classroom.  I'm going to return to the same schedule:
