In case you are wondering, I did sort of fall off the world. At least the cyber-world. We had a computer virus at our house that took one computer out of commission. Since the other three people in my house were writing lesson plans, entering grades, etc., it seemed that my blog should take a back seat.
I haven't done much skating. Even though Carl's hours have picked up and he's done with classes, we've had family commitments with the holidays. I've had more hours at work, too, which means fewer hours for skating. Carl will be student teaching this spring, so I want to wait on skating until I know how that will effect his tutoring job.
So, instead of skating, I've been visiting massage therapy schools. I'm seriously considering going to massage therapy school once Carl is under contract with a school district.
My dream job would be to get hired by a luxury hotel chain and get free rooms whenever I travel for skating competitions. I'd like to focus on sports massage and build relationships with coaches who would refer their skaters to me. And I'd like to work with skating rinks to provide chair massages to mom's during learn-to-skate classes.
This seems like a good step to me since I don't really don't know what I want to do. I need a lot of autonomy at my job. I'd like to be active and social. All of that fits massage therapy. And if I find later that it's not what I want, it's not a huge investment in time or money.
