The big push

 I worked until 1:30am today as I was trying to get student registrations in before the synch happened with the course websites as that happens overnight. I need the synch to happen for the next steps for uploading the groups.

James also is not sleeping because his team beat Quinte. He is smiling ear to ear!

6am will arrive very soon.

Squirrels

 The squirrels are running around very busy in this season. They seem to like whatever the Japanese maple is growing.

I had a sedentary day but my squirrels are all on the inside. Today I got the 101 and 102 teams done and worked on some course enrollment. Still a lot to do!

Turn

 When I left work on Monday the weather had suddenly turned cold.

This week it has randomly rained on my at odd times.

I went to No Frills for the first time in a few years and it wasn't the cheaper version of Loblaws anymore, many of the prices were the same as loblaws and some were even higher. There were a few things that were cheaper but overall disappointing.

Went to the dentist for a cleaning and they also worked on fixing my bite that was slightly off on one side.

I am working on enrolment and hiring at work right now. Next week will need to work on course updates.

Wind blowing

 I had a successful time with laundry yesterday with the winds blowing before the rain. Luckily the rain was over when I walked to see Anne-Marie's play. It was in the Baby Grand which was a very tiny stage and seated an audience of maybe 60 at most. There were only 4 rows for the audience so the audience was almost on top of the performers. Anne-Marie was brilliant, as usual.

Today, James had to be at work for 7am so I also went in early. Had a number of meetings but just tried to get on top of my email. Did not succeed.

Heavy rain

 I woke up this morning at 4am as the rain came pouring down. The walk into work was only light rain. James got home from work before me so walked down to my office in the rain to pick me up and we walked home also in light rain.

Tomorrow James needs to leave at 8am to go to Trenton for a soccer tournament (he is coaching). He is heading to see my parents at 4pm. Sunday the first game is at 11am. He has a skate in Belleville on Sunday 6:15 so is planning on heading back to see my parents in any down time. So nice for him. Hopefully also nice for them!
