weather forecast

 

Who knew smoke was weather?

Heavy

A video filmed of the Titan vessel only days before the fatal voyage. Very interesting perspective in retrospect.

The grass was getting out of control as I hadn't mowed in quite some time. I mowed in the heat and was pretty soaked by the end but it is done.

My hair is heavy as well. Aiming to get it cut on Friday.

rain delay

 There was some pouring rain this morning that led to a delay in my morning shopping and thus a delay to my whole day.

Back from Algonquin with some pictures:

Short night

 I didn't sleep very long last night. This past week was exam week so it was a long week!

Because I was up so early this morning and today is "Giveaway day" in Kingston I took out a rickety wooden shoe rack that the previous owners of this house had left. It was gone by 7am, so that was efficient. 

I went to Loblaws this morning as James wanted me to pick up something. Unfortunately for me the department I needed didn't open as early as the rest of the store.

A more exciting Sunday than I had planned

 James ended up in the ER arriving by ambulance. He got checked out and everything seems fine but it was a stressful time. The ER was so full of people. So many hurting.

I worked from home today to keep an eye on him. I had to bike in to get my computer before the day started.

This is exam week so it is a busy week!

Recovering from the yellow air

 

There was rain and all the puddles are rimmed with yellow precipitate from the smog. The air is much better now. I had held off from the laundry during the bad air stint so I had a lot to catch up on today.

I cleaned the bathroom and the front hall closet today. Considering the amount of time that the closet took me, it will take a while to make it through the whole house!

clearing

 The air cleared today. I still needed to wear a mask to walk to work but walking home was fine. The itchiness in my eyes has subsided.

I worked on writing detailed emails today. Will need to send them tomorrow. Exams are next week.

smoky

 Yesterday was very smoky out and my eyes were pretty sore when I got home. James refused to go outside due to the particulate count. Normally he would walk or play ball hockey when not working. Now we are locked indoors like the pandemic but we can't open the windows. Am thinking of wearing a mask to go outside shopping. 

weekend

 I did not make as much progress as I hoped on the weekend as I had a few poor sleeps. But I got a nap today so am up later than usual now. Hopefully, I can sleep until my alarm.

I mostly completed the T3010 and caught up on a lot of Rustle finance work as well as lots of dishes and laundry.

James has a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning so we'll both be up early!

oriental peony

 This year the oriental peony seems to only have one flower. In previous years there would be more!

This week was a lot of problem management. Next week need to complete the timetable feedback and some exam issues and review hiring. The week after is exam week.

Today met with Dan about Kingston International Student Support. I'm helping with the website.
