I try to post <em>at least<\/em> twice a week, but sometimes life gets the better of you&#8230;<br \/>\nLike how it was the end of school!  The wrap up for this year was exceptionally challenging.  Finishing out the school year is always tricky- we have to pack up our rooms while continuing to teach increasingly less compliant children- but this year, with the move, I felt the emotional impact of my leaving acutely.  Gracious, I&#8217;m going to miss my students.  Squirrelly though they may have been, they were a kind, sweet group of kids who would have been great helpers next year&#8230;  But I did say goodbye.  Through a veil of tears!<br \/>\nPacking proved to be a bizarre reminder of my middle aged status- I injured myself by packing!  Yep, the act of putting things in boxes, sealing the box with tape and affixing a label on it proved incredibly difficult for my right shoulder-blade-underarm-pectoral muscles.  The repetitive motion proved too much for me and I started feeling a tearing\/hot\/burning sensation.  For the past two weeks, I&#8217;ve been wearing my sports bra nonstop (<em>so<\/em> attractive!) and my compression wear.  Holding my tatas down and any surrounding tissue has helped tremendously, but I have been unable to exercise or do much else.  Even walking has been causing me pain (in my back?!) so I&#8217;ve been staying off my feet.  Last night was the first night I slept without all the gear in two weeks and I didn&#8217;t have any pain, so I think I&#8217;m on the right healing track.<br \/>\nWe headed to Idaho to see my parents the day after school got out and have been chilling Idaho style ever since!  Hello SUMMATIME!  Tomorrow I start a weeklong summer institute, but right now I&#8217;m not thinking much about that&#8230;  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/20140622-060402-21842858.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/20140622-060402-21842858.jpg\" alt=\"20140622-060402-21842858.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ve ever taken a break this long, from Tamara Shazam.
