HOME again HOME again...

Ahhh- Well that seemed like a long time away! It is good to be home.
WHAT A brilliant time I had. It has been since April 2006 since I last taught and although I felt a little rusty- It was a great experience. I loved everything about it. Seriously- I really did. (Although I am not much of a complainer. I can get along nicely most anywhere...) I thought this whole event was Well organized and was very convenient!
I met some lovely and Uber-talented students and fellow teachers- as well as getting to reunite with some old friends. (Heee!)
I love love loved- seeing people I only know: On-Line- in the flesh! Heee! THAT is such a strangely exciting experience.
I brought my book to share and had overwhelmingly positive feedback.
I only wish I had taken more photos- but I was SO darn busy each day- I could barely find time. Except on SUNDAY when I was not teaching and I took photos of the Students work in THOMAS'SSS Class!!!
See:
And- our flights went off without any issues!
Now I am home- without a VOICE. It left sometime Sunday night and I sound very deep and totally un-girl-like! (I have been drinking tea... lots of tea)
When I got home- I instantly went to the studio to see Virgil- who THREW himself at the both of us and then on the floor- and rolled around and Meowed like crazy- Nothing like that kind of home-coming! Poppy had been sitting in the bay window as if she had been waiting there as Lookout. We came in and were run over by Vespa who was a BUNDLE of energy. Poppy next who ran around at our feet- and then of course- Grumpy Perth who was still up on the bed. She MEOWED LOUDLY in protest! Heee! She has not left my side since... I love her so.
I was hot here too- I watered my plants when I settled in. They were thirsty. I have ripe tomatoes now! I then straighten up a bit and went and took a long nap. Later - I got up and went out to the studio to spend sometime with Virgil.
I feel a bit out of sorts- Like- "Okay, what now...?" I have been working and preparing for this trip with such vigor- that I now am faced with an open schedule for a few weeks- and it makes me feel strange. A little panicked... I had a hard time with living an unstructured life. HA! Go figure.
So- it is good to be home.
TOMORROW- I am staying home in hopes of finding my voice. I also need to unpack my whole studio and do laundry. I could use some food in this house too since we are out of the everyday things. It will be good to get all of that out of the way- unlike years past where- I have waited days to get those things accomplished.
Ahhh... I am laughing at the fact that I am looking forward to cleaning and household chores.
More to come!
