So, we were supposed to close on the house in the city where I work tmw. The spouse just got a completely online software engineering job with an open source software co, and it only makes sense to move close to my work (unless you count the fact that we'll live in small town USA...we have a Starbucks, tho).
Anyway, the closing was delayed because of a title/abstract issue that's all the realtor's fault. We'll probably close next week, but I wanted to get settled b4 school. Now, we'll be rushed. And, we'll be living out of boxes in our current home for another week. arg.
My knee is stronger and alot more flexible. The PT is happy with my progress, and I see the surgeon next Wed, so maybe he'll tell me I can be done with PT. I mean, my knee's not right, but most of what I do at PT I can do at home more or less. It takes alot of time, and once we get moved, I don't want to drive back here for PT for sure. AND, I don't want the hassle of changing PT locations, either.
OK, so as far as school goes, I have pre-class stuff on the 12-14. Then, class begins the 18th. I teach f2f MTW and online TH/F. I'm excited about teaching hybrid courses and teaching my first Tech/Professional Writing class. BUT, I'm NOT excited about my lack of focus. I feel ADD/distracted since the surgery. It's not the drugs...I'm off most of that. It's the lack of thru sleep. I toss and turn and wake up TOO much each night. I'm exhausted most of the time. It sucks.
The weinerdog is peeing alot. And, he's pacing alot more, just like Kara did 2 years ago. I expect we'll be burying him in the next 6 months. He's happy when he's not crazy, and he's not suffering. I bet he will be soon, though. It's sad for me, but it would be sadder to see him suffer. 16+ years is a long time to have a friend that relies on you for everything. He's been a good boy. He's really stressed about the move. When we moved from Tulsa to BG, he got hives all over. He knows something's up, so he follws me more now than ever. I keep telling him he gets to go with me, but he's not buying it. heh. crazy? yes. Stupid? no.

That just breaks my heart. I wish, wish, wish dogs could truly understand what we tell them. I am thinking about your awesome weinerdog and hoping for clarity and calm for as long as possible.
That sucks about the move. Argh. And I really hope your get approved to continue PT at home. Good luck with all of that.
Finally, yay about your first Tech/Prof Writing course! They're amazing...let me know how it goes! What major projects are you teaching in there?
let's see, we're doing the regular resume, flyer, brochure stuff. Then I have a Newsletter "Service Learning" project. Then, we'll do a big project...prob an Instruction Manual or something along those lines. BUT, they have to team up with a business/community org, so the "big" project will be pretty organic...could be a website, etc. I'm looking forward to it. Will you send me your entry level syllabus again?
That sux girlie!! Although it will be so nice when its all done. School starts soon for Ed. AAAAAAaaaaaaahhhh!!! The 2 year plan sux however the 5 year looks pretty good. LOL Pray for us, we'll need it!!
You've got a lot going on. Your tech/prof writing class sounds like the kind of stuff I did at my job, so it will be really good for them.
I am sorry to hear about Norman. He's seen a lot of stuff happen to you and vice versa. Maybe he's following you to make sure you don't fall again. Maybe he's as concerned for you as you are for him. He's probably thinking, "She might fall with all of these boxes, she can't start all over again with leg stuff with classes right around the corner. I'll just be under her foot to make sure nothing happens."
