Happy 2012

I am scribbling my first blog for the New Year. 

Happy 2012 everyone! 

I have been ill with congestion and some friends gathered to get me some cough syrup with codine, a half box of Musinex, and oranges and bananas to keep the Vitamin C and potassium inside my body.  I've been drinking more water, more chamomille tea, and coffee.  No cold drinks, no Pibb Xtra, no Dr. Pepper, no meals out for over a week.  Just the aforementioned fruits, canned soup, and Vienna sausages chopped up to add to the soup.

I am getting ready reading the lesson plans for a teacher who wants me to take over for her when she goes on maternity leave.  Sadly, HR tells me I can't go in until the water breaks and I don't want to take a job for someone else then suddenly have to leave and put that teacher into the round-robin of crappy substitutes.  After I drop a job it goes back into the pot and either someone picks it or the district assigns it but the teacher loses all control of who's in the room in their absence.

So today I am writing and cleaning.  I can try making a dent in the mess I've accumulated, maybe cart some things off to storage, Goodwill, and so forth.  I've gotta try drawing and making things happen this year.  If the world ends then all my dreams die with me.  If I don't strike first someone else could do an idea I have better than me and that would sadden me greatly.

Oh ... and I also have to sign up for a drivers' ed class as quick as possible.  I'm due back in court on the 23 of January, 2012 for speeding in a school zone.  Sadly it was the day I was called in at the last second and I couldn't blame it on the principal.  Now speeding isn't a worry any longer.  Of course my court cost were $175 that were non-refundable but thems the breaks, right?

My sister had her usual New Year's blowout and made menudo.  If you don't know this dish it's fats, bones, hominy and many other spicy and frightening things.  That and a few shots made the blockage go away faster than the medication.

I am on the mend.  I am on the spiritual mend too and working a little harder each time.

Thanks for listening.

Love you all bunches!
