Another week down

Well, this was an easy week at work. Monday was a white day, so I just taught the same lessons I had taught the previous Friday. Tuesday through Friday, we did standardized testing, so all I had to do was take the kids to a computer lab, give directions to log on, and watch them take the test. Plus I took Tuesday and Wednesday off, so not only did I not have to work, but I didn't even have to make up lessons for a sub. That's a good week, for sure. Helpful for catching up on grading, too.

So, with my days off, I am almost completely unpacked in my apartment. And it's only been three months since I moved in! That may be a record. Well, not really. It makes me feel better, though, not to have boxes sitting around in every room. I can actually get to ALL the furniture in my living room! So thanks to my dad for helping getting all my books and music unpacked and on shelves in at least a semi-orderly fashion. And clearing out several other boxes that were half-empty or just needed to be put in closets.

Yesterday I started doing some exploring online about music publishers. I found one website that says they do free critiques of original music, so I sent them some of my songs. Hopefully I'll hear something from them; I've come across websites like that before that never responded to my emails or submissions.

So lots of positive and encouraging things are happening. I am blessed, for certain. Blessings on all of you, as well.
