Today was my first day out in quite a few days, I did some shopping. We are working on some interesting studios for next week. And trying to plan a test all at the same time as answering all the email so I didn't get to the course enrollments that I planned to do.
It has been a very rainy few days. I thought it looked like it was clearing when James went to physio but it was a trick and he was very wet on his journey. He has also given up the Trenton dream as he is not healing quickly enough.
I was working on getting an assignment back to the students. Have not got out of the house for days. Need to get groceries. Chicken fajita bowl tonight.
There was an error in the quiz this week so I had to manually fix things. This delayed my plans for the day.
Lots of rain today so I didn't really get outside.
Yesterday I mowed the mostly dead lawn. But I needed to get some of the edges trimmed.
Today we had to deal with some teaming issues and we did some training. More training tomorrow!
So much email today. Did not make much headway. James had physio. My eyes were pretty buggy by the end. Turkey curry for dinner.
Yesterday was a day of meetings and training. As soon as I finished the training session Clara picked me up and we went to the Kelsey's patio. It was nice enough outside and we chatted for quite a while.
After I got home the bathroom sink had plugged. I plunged it for a while and got it flowing a little bit. I put some bleach down and today it seems to be working.
I was up very late as I couldn't sleep and tried to finish up some email.
Today Clara and I went for a short walk in the morning and then I had a day of meetings.
Tex mex meatloaves and cilantro rice for dinner.
E-group after dinner
I found a wasp inside the window and I killed it with a fly swatter. The killing decapitated the wasp and the body fell on the sill but the head fell to the bottom of the screen and continued looking at me. Some other wasps gathered quickly outside. I understood their concern but didn't worry to much about it. When I came out in the morning, the head was gone. But it wasn't actually gone. Something had dragged the head UP the screen about a meter and the head was jammed in the screen at the top instead of the bottom!
I slept well last night, which was good.
Last night was a pretty bad night. I had difficulty getting to sleep. Then when I did nod off, there were sirens that woke me. So the day was not as productive as I had hoped.
I watched a midsomer murder 9pm on TVO. So very good.
Yesterday I woke up early- at 5am. I'm not sure why but I thought if I'm up so early I would go to Lake Ontario Park, so that was a nice treat. The day was full of email and stress. I expected an easy day but it was more challenging that expected.
Today it wasn't a great night and then at 8am I heard someone doing some building or something. I came out of a sleep and wandered around trying to find what it was. I finally saw that a neighbour was re-roofing their garage (which has a bit of a lean to it). It looks good and they finished by lunchtime.
I biked down to Metro on the first day of school and the street vibes were just like any other first day of school. That felt good. I didn't leave the house on day 2. Today was day 3 - I went to Food Basics before work and then worked a long day preparing for our training session and running it. It feels like the worst is over for right now though. If that is accurate or not remains to be seen.
James did his first solo drive yesterday. It bothered his shoulder but he was pleased with himself. He can raise the arm now.
The snowbirds flew over my house today, so majestic!
Got through a lot of work today. Made turkey larb bowls- one of the easiest chef's plate that I have made.
Had egroup meeting and then worked some more.
Have to wake up early as I learned that tonight is the night to put 2 garbage bags out so I need to put one more bag together to add to the garbage as this is a rare occurance!
A few crises in the evening but everything sorted so far. We'll see if all the rooms are ready as they have been closed since march 2020. Hopefully all goes well!
I woke up at 6:30am as there were firetrucks going to the new unity point place.
I got back to sleep and then woke up around 9 and I hopped to Loblaws. It was busier when I normally I am there. But they had not done much restocking since I was there last. It seems sort of pandemic-like.
I watched Elevation and Rustle in the morning and then worked all afternoon and evening. Got all the students assigned to PMs. Need to make up the spreadsheet tomorrow.
It is normal for just before the first week of class. I was answering email until midnight. I still need to get contracts done and leaders assigned for all the groups.
I did get some groceries in the morning and Loblaws wasn't too busy. In the afternoon I biked down to Rustle's bank to deposit some things so I did get some exercise.
Yesterday I worked about 15 hours ending at 1am. Then you would think I would be tired but probably on an adrenaline high so I didn't sleep.
Went to a graduation ceremony at 8am and full on meetings until 4:30pm. Got through some of my email after that and worked on the groupings for the geology course. Have to send an email to the students in the morning. Still testing some things in my site.
Have 5 open IT tickets. That may be a record for me.
My phone plan hasn't sorted out yet so I'll have to contact them again tomorrow and my work email doesn't seem to work with my new phone.
