storms, swimming

Quick updates…
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to be totally online.  We have the potential for a really wild storm tonight- across the state line, this system is dropping tornadoes left and right, but nothing really bad here yet.  But I want to be ready so that I can shut down my pc, [...]

He is risen!

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord [...]

career thoughts

This will be a totally random post.  Deal with it.
Today I’m sitting at home, and it’s pretty much impossible for me to think about anything except the future (or non-future, as it may be) of my career.  After everything that’s gone down with the school district, I know that my chances of ever getting another [...]

extreme makeover, animal cruelty, updates

Tonight I’m watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and they are rebuilding a home and an animal rehab center for a family who rescues wild animals, including big cats, horses, pigs, lizards, and snakes.  These animals were born in captivity but, in most cases, were turned over to this rehab center when their owners no longer [...]

scar tissue

Tonight on Grey’s Anatomy, Justin Chambers/Alex Karev (as the narrator) made a comment: Trauma always leaves a scar. (Or something like that, I don’t remember it exactly.)
Anyway, that got me to thinking about scars.  I have my fair share of scars.  There’s a scar on my knee from when I fell off my bike when [...]

the accident, part six

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Seven
After the hospital ended, the rehab began.  I don’t remember the first few weeks of rehab very well.  It’s a funny side effect of the brain injury- I only vaguely remember the months before the accident, and the weeks after the accident are even more vague.  It’s called partial [...]

subbing, careers

Yea, I know, I haven’t been posting.  Actually I have, but the plugin that I thought was working, isn’t.  So possibly (hopefully?) one of these days you’ll see a bunch of posts from the past week just “show up” on here.
Yesterday I subbed a half day in a wild first grade class and a half [...]

almost subbing, almost writing?

I got a call this morning at around 6:30 asking me to sub in one of the elementary schools.  I accepted the job, but not five minutes later I got another call from the substitute gal telling me that the job had been accepted by someone else just before she got to it, so I [...]

25 things

Redirected from my Facebook page, because I don’t trust them with my content anymore.  Have you heard about their new ToS?

My middle name is Susanne.
I was born and raised in Kansas City, went to college nearby, and upon graduation, I moved as far away from the US as I could.
Then I moved back.  [...]

my quarter life crisis

I predict this post will not make much sense.  Deal with it.
I have been debating whether or not to apply to teach at the Independence School District full time next year.  I can think of many reasons I should and many reasons I shouldn’t.  It’s an annoying, constant back-and-forth in my head.  So, what better [...]
