Bad Theresa

I never write. My most insincere apologies...
Homecoming was really fun on my end. I miss hanging out with Fat Z especially and so when we get together and get crazy it is absolutely awesome. Lots of alcohol, windburn, and walking led to my cold getting worse. Monday I didn't have a voice at all which made teaching and singing hard for that Monday at Huegel. Sidenote-I hate how it underlines "didn't" as if it's spelled wrong. It's a common contraction, am I right?
So anyways, I took Tuesday off to recuperate and my voice came back, but now I've had thing nagging cough for days. The kind where you cough til you either gag or have a near pee experience. Sucks. It's just a tickle and it's so frustrating. Def not the swine flu...I don't have insurance right now so I can't get it. ;) Subbed Wed-Fri all half days for general music/band. I already know my schedule for this week, too. I have a 3 day assignment at Kennedy Elem for music and then convention THEN HALLOWEEN. I'm so looking forward to it. We've never done the Halloween in Madison State Street thing, unless you count driving by it one year after we ate Rocky Roccoco's, Perkins, and Perkin's pie all in one night with Errin and Ethan back in the day...saw a guy streaking and that was about it. I think I might pull out the old lunch lady idea again, but I'm not saying anything for sure yet. I just hate how every grown female decides to either be a slutty nurse or a naughty kitty. Really ladies?
I just lounged today and Mary Neff came over, too. We went to eat at the Fireside last night with her parents and it was nice so we spent another day together, too. I did an entire 500 piece Norman Rockwell puzzle today. The one with the teacher standing in front of the chalkboard with happy birthday written everywhere...now THAT'S what I call a productive Saturday.
Looking forward to everyone coming here this week for convention and then for those coming for the weekend as well. It will be nice to play host in our new apartment and catch up on some good educational discussions. Liz and I talk a lot about ed stuff, but it'll be nice to talk to other people. I hope the convention itself isn't lame and I'm really looking forward to hearing Jazz I and the honor bands!! It's been too long!
Well, as many of us have been posting, I wish I had more interesting or "bloggy" things to write, but I don't. I thought last week about writing about the 4 year anniversary of the bus accident, but didn't know what to say. It's an important event in our lives, but it's losing it's magnitude in a way. I tried to listen to Lux Aroumque and remember the entire day and all of the feelings, but it's almost as though my brain is resisting it. When I think of Chippewa now, it's totally different and so much has happened since then. I'll always recognize October 16th, but it is getting more and more distant and I don't like how guilty I feel about that. Well, that's pretty much why I shoudn't have written about it I guess...
I hope to have more to write about as next week rounds out. I can't wait to get paid, especially my Dec. 1st check!! I want to get squared away with Liz and Becky and such more than you'll ever know! Lots of subbing is happening. I had 8 missed calls from Verona the other day AFTER I had accepted a job in Madison for the day. It's crazy different than last spring in EC/Chippewa. So I'll blame my lack of posts on that...
:) Everyone else should not take after me and they should start posting more often!!!!
Sincerely,
Hypocrit Soules
