It seems so weird that it is December 20 already. It seems like yesterday we were getting things ready for Christmas and now here we are getting ready for the New Year. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon at my cousin, Nicole's house for dinner and boy was it good. She is a very good cook and I really enjoyed myself at her place with her family. My aunt and uncle were also there but they arrived late. I did have a good time for the little time I got to spend with them. i really love my aunt Michelle. She is just so awesome. I love my Uncle too but my aunt is such a great woman. We have such fun together. I love it when she comes to visit and when I go to visit her. We giggle a lot together too. Nicole and I were marveling at the thought that we now live close enough to actually visit one another on a regular basis! That is just so cool. I am planning a cousin visitation for January for us soon. Her children are very nice too and so is her hubby. He works a lot. I did have to leave a bit earlier than planned because it was freezing rain at her house and that would make very slippery roads so I needed to make sure I would be alright driving home. The roads improved about 2/3 of the way home and the freezing rain stopped once I crossed the border so that was good. Once I got back into town, there was no rain at all so that was even better. I made it home with one sliding around the road. I was pretty nervous for a bit after that but I did okay. I drove slower than normal and that helped. Most cars slowed down so I was glad to see that. Anyways, it was wonderful day with my family.
This week there are only a few lessons just like last week. Normally, I don't really have any, so to have a few is just awesome. I have some money put aside already for the rest of the property taxes so that is good. I feel much better about the financial situation than I did going into December. I had a few students quit but I have a few new ones to take their places. It is the nature of the business. It comes and goes quite frequently so you just have to go with the flow. I do need to check and make sure i have the CD I need for tonight for the new student. Her name is Amanda. I don't know anything else about her. I will find out tonight. She is having a lesson tonight and on Saturday. I don't know if tonight will be her regular lesson or if Saturday will be but I will find that out too. It is a new way take lessons is doing things so we don't have questionaires anymore and I really found them helpful. I am going to check one more time to make sure they didn't just move them to a new area. They didn't. I don't even know how old she is. In just over an hour I will meet her. I called her mom but she emailed me instead of calling me back. Well, I had Alyssa's lesson this morning and then I will have Bob and Faith tomorrow. Nothing on Wednesday and a couple on Thursday and Friday with one on Saturday.
For some reason, my desktop computer was being awfully weird today. It wouldn't let me go on the internet, no matter what I did. Bill came home and told me what to do to fix it. It is now fixed! Yeah! No more looking at the internet through the little laptop. Back to the wonderful world of desktop with the lovely bigger screen.
Every year, I choose something to work on about myself. I spend a few days thinking about it and then I decide what I want to work on. I am not sure what it should be this year. I really don't. There are many good things to pick but I just don't know what the thing should be this year. It is something I have to also pray about because, well, without prayer and God, there is no hope of improving myself. You know what they say? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So yes, that is what I need to do. I am working on more personal space for people but that really isn't what I mean. I need something else that is more personal than that. Like one year I worked on attitude towards my brothers another was negativity in general, things like that. Normally, I know what to do, but this year I am all hazy about it. I have no clue.
Maisy is in her usual place next to me for now. She alternates between me and Heather BT since we are her two people with Heather BT being her number 1 person and me her number 2. I don't mind being number 2 at all. I get a lot of time to be with Maisy and play with Maisy so I don't mind at all. I love my time with Maisy so much.
Well, it is almost time for Amanda to arrive. I have the CDs I need out as well as the music as far as I know anyway. I am not sure exactly what to expect since I haven't spoken with her but I will certainly find out shortly.
