How the time flies

A brief apology: sorry I have not kept up like I wanted to with house renovations and the like; once we actually got moved in, the whirlwind did not-- and hasn't, yet-- slow itself. It seems rather to have gathered strength. I went to FL briefly to pick Maddie up from my parents' house, and came back to prepare for the new school year. This week, I'm in inservice all day without access to a computer or laptop, so there you go. Please forgive my sloppy contact. Soon, I will post some more pictures of the house, some of the Florida trip, and maybe even some of my new school and classrooms.

I have to go to the doctor tomorrow morning to have my left hand checked out; I have been having lots of pain and it's hard for me to grip anything tightly, to lift Madeline, and even to write (as I am left-handed). I'm thinking carpal-tunnel, but there's a slight chance of some sort of hairline fracture. Carpal-tunnel is more likely, and I will update all my readers (all five or so of you!) on that once I've heard from the doctor what the deal is.

Wishing you all well! Enjoy this un-summer-like weather for a few more days, as I'm sure the heat will return in full force very soon!
