Christmas Cheer

 

This letter arrived in the mail today, and made my day... I've been feeling a little cranky of late. I spent her year of fourth grade, trying to keep my hip and knee pain at bay. I'm glad that I was still doing a good job, because almost every night I would drag myself onto my bed, and cry. It got worse during the second half of the year, right before my surgery. 

I am thankful that I've had the opportunity to work as a teacher... And, I'm grateful for all of the kindness that kids have shown to me over the years.

Working with the Spins.

I've had a bit of a nasty case of vertigo during the past month. It began as a severe bout, with an inability to stand up without vomiting. And, it became more random, with short dizzying events. But, in between resting, I've been able to make and fire some work. I finished my holiday wall plaques. Also, I've got some work from the Thanksgiving Break out of the kiln. Percy has been a very friendly nurse, as I've been sick.
