Summer has Sprung!

New asymmetrical haircut 

It's for sure my favorite time of year. I have been able to fully enjoy it this year.

Zoey and her peony

The end of the school year "finals month" was very busy! A few early morning meetings (earliest starting at 7:15am), mischievous children ready for summer, a search for self determination not to procrastinate on paperwork, and filing that will be waiting for me in mid-August. Still very exhausting and long however, it was the smoothest final month I have ever had since working in the schools. I had a mild shift in my caseload this year and it made all the difference in the world. I have been off from work for a week and a half and it feels as if that place does not exist! Which is a darn good feeling!

Hybrid Peony

The last week and a half I have been able to work on a ginormous knot at the top of my peck muscle(s) on my left side. It has been painful with spasms as I internally rotate or at other random moments of movement. Since I have been able to loosen it up, I feel the pain shifting down my obliques and all I can picture is a knot loosening but not being fully untangled. There is one other knot that continues to exist in the middle of my back. My only theory is these knots are existing because they are the remainder to the spastic trunk I used to have to hold myself upright. Since I have been doing yoga and massages, my back and the rest of the muscles in my body are the loosest they have ever been but the tightness is still going to exist somehow. I did visit my general physician regarding this and she gave me muscle relaxers and a medical script for my massages.  I have only taken the pills once.

In happier news.....I have been enjoying the flowers in my yard and bike rides at sunset! It's essentially "the most wonderful time of the year" for me!  I even was able to meet the youngest baby horse I have ever seen. She is adorable and it was amazing to see such a young horse interact with her mom and the people that love her....way different than playing with kittens and puppies. The flowers and baby horse have been reminders that spring time is a time for new beginnings!

So, here's to the beginning of summer and many adventures!
