weary

 It was a long week and before work today I went to Loblaws and could feel the weariness.

I had to manage a lot of email and posted some grades and then got all the showcase grades into the system.

I didn't get much sleep this week so am hoping to catch up on the weekend. Taxes tomorrow!

Spring

 Weather was beautiful today. I still wore a winter dress but no coat. Breaking in my summer shoes back in.

Lots of sirens out. A loud party. Planning to hang laundry tomorrow!

tights

 Yesterday I was wearing thermal tights, today normal tights. Spring is on the way!

I didn't have enough time for breakfast this morning as I had to wash the dishes.

Today I worked on showcase set up.

James and I worked on his courses in the evening.

Dinner was turkey chow mein noodles. Very quick and tasty!

Bacon BLT salad

 Today's dinner was Bacon BLT salad. It was easy and very good. I wasn't sure I would be ok with ranch dressing but it was all very good. Only the bacon and croutons needed to be cooked so it was a pretty simple meal. I finished the marking guide and dealing with all the financials. I had my e-group tonight. Then sorted out a deposit for Rustle. Tomorrow is the funeral for Amanda Armstrong. I would like to go to support Billy but I didn't really know Amanda. I just have so much to do in April that it would be difficult to take the evening off. A very beautiful day out!

Another round by the racoon

 Found my green bin pushed over. Looks like it didn't open. The neighbour's same as last time is scattered all over the driveway. Not sure why the racoon has more success with the neighbour than me!

Spring jacket

 On Sunday I switched from boots to shoes. Today I leveled up to a spring jacket. Things are improving. Still need to get the Winter tires off the car. A busy day today reviewing peer reviews, surveys and writing a marking guide for the last assignment. Campus was pretty quiet!

Spring-y

 When I walked into work this morning (in my winter coat) it felt like spring.

Work this week has been mainly trying to manage the email.

Dinner today was caramelized chicken- James agreed to try it but did not like the chicken. He was happy with the rice though.

Let's just push over all the green bins in the neighbourhood

 I was downstairs talking to James and we heard a bang in the driveway. The neighbour's green bin had been tipped and a racoon was happily sitting there munching away. The racoon did not care a whit about me! I went to check our green bin and it had also been tipped but the racoon was unlucky and it did not open. I was lucky. He clearly has a strategy.

James drove to Napanee today for some coaching. Luckily made it back before the fog rolled in.

last week of class

 We are finally at the last week of classes. The students had their final project due tonight. We had our final training sessions. The Project Managers gave me a lovely card with heartfelt messages.

Yesterday when walking to Rustle there was a man who was walking a large black dog with curly hair. It got away from him and was playfully bounding across the street, playing a very dangerous game with its owners. People stopped their cars to get out to help. It was very nice to see. The dog survived thanks to nice people.
