bunny

I am getting to know the local bunnies. They don't all look the same. There is one that is a "regular" and seems quite chill with me. One day I was waiting for Kim to stop by and I was walking down the garden and I had left some apple slices that James had left over. Within a minute, the bunny was out eating the apple. Clearly, apples are a hit with the bunny.

OMHA Champs

Kingston news: https://www.thewhig.com/sports/local-sports/jr-fronts-win-kingstons-first-omha-aaa-midget-title-since-1972

James wore his red cap to school yesterday to "flex". However, I don't think many people at school knew what it meant.

An old facebook memory from 2011 made me laugh:

James was pretenting to be a hobbit as we were preparing to go out and told me that hobbits don't wear boots even in the misty mountains where there is snow. I gave him a look that must have said to him that I did not approve of HIM going without boots and he quickly indicated that he was a slightly different race of hobbit than Frodo and he put his boots on

This memory is from 2008 and still true today

is trying to email sense into people, not that it'll happen...

signs of spring

Today there were 2 bunnies in the back yard and lots of junkos so it was looking like spring in spite of the temperature and the fact that the backyard is mostly a sheet of ice.

Yesterday I worked until 10pm getting interviews set up for next week.

This past week, the car needed a major overhaul and the toaster randomly stopped working. Also my laptop sometimes has issues and is getting older so I got a new laptop that is a touch screen which I like a lot! I'm still on the old laptop for things as it takes some time to transition off.

OMHA

So IF James' team had won the Championship, they would have gone to the OMHA's. Since they lost, they got to play for a wild card spot. They won the spot and have headed to Toronto for the OMHA's. They made the paper: https://www.thewhig.com/sports/local-sports/jr-frontenacs-midgets-advance-to-omha-championship

A sad week this week as a number of friends have lost family members.

Championship loss

James' team lost the first two games of their playoff round. Then they won the next two. So today was the last game- whoever won would take the championship. James' team lost so he is sad.

crispy sloppy walk

The walk was not slippery today, just a bit crispy.The roads were getting very sloppy so this evening I will wear my rain boots. Rustle was good, not many people were deterred by the time change or the weather.

Spiky icy rain

At 4am I was awake thanks to all the spikes that were hitting my window. I guess it was freezing rain though I have not been brave enough to venture out. The weather station says that the freezing rain warning is over. It seemed to be lightly snowing the last I looked out. The weather station said light rain. The 401 also appeared to be orange on the map meaning that things are slower going. I will venture out soon.

Work bender

Last weekend I spent every free minute working on timetabling or getting course grades out. This week I worked during the day and evening M-W. I at that point started wondering when Friday was going to come. Thursday worked during the day and had a board meeting in the evening. Friday worked during the day and took the evening to catch up on tv programs- Survivor and BB Can. Idon't think I will continue to watch BB Can, I did not take to the contestants. This weekend I am focusing on the house!

A Rustler's apartment had a fire a couple of nights ago. Everyone got out safely but there is a lot of clean up to be done. A shock for her. I can't help with her clean up though as I have to clean up from ignoring the house for work for the last few weeks.

The Tension of Lent

The day the timetable tried to take me out

I battled the timetable today and I marginally won. I got the first year part done at least. Still have to do second year and the wrap up tomorrow.

Tomorrow the bishop will move at an angle and be at Rustle for the morning. We are having a big bad bishop brunch after Church. Then the bishop is planning to meet with the board. So I'm hoping that I still have enough time to finish up the timetable before CR.
