Still Miles to Go

Everybody’s got plans… until they get hit.
Mike Tyson

Before the recent one-two punch from infection after infection, and before the internet snafu and ensuing struggles with Comcast, and before the exciting week with visitors, and before I was finally able to get back to work this week, I had great plans. Well, I guess not great plans – they were nothing compared to those of my childhood, or those of a naive high schooler, or even those prior to the latest major health struggles back in December and January – but they were plans.

Many of those aforementioned plans involved topics for blog posts. I was going to share will you my husband’s amazing flair for creating innovative and imaginative calculus exams. I wrote an entire series (featuring many of my amazing friends) on various feeding tubes for Feeding Tube Awareness Week back in February. (By the way, a huge thank you to all who helped me out and shared their stories and pictures!) I was going to give you all a peek at our great adventures in the snow this winter. I crafted a post on my revised plans for teaching in the coming months. I envisioned writing an entire post on the revamping of my blog format and what inspired the change. And I hoped to tell you all about my great adventures with three generations of Hertzog men. Yep, I had plans. But life decided it had other plans for me and I was buckled up into an epic roller coaster. For your safety while on attractions, please keep your hands, arms, and legs inside the vehicle at all times.

I still plan to share all of these with you all. I do. But sometimes life’s plans get in the way of mine. So bear with me while I try to bargain with the Big L. I will get to all of these posts. My plans are too important to just let go.
