Being in person

 

It was weird and tiring being in person again. And especially odd that everyone thought we should be ok with it.

The return

 

Tomorrow is the first day back to work in 2022. There are so many things to remember to bring in with me. And then I have to figure out how to interact with people again.

flies

 

I thought this was pretty funny. Flies are attracted to a lot of things.

I did a lot of work on the weekend as I had to review all the academic integrity cases and then get the work prepared for this week. The Feedback fruits set up didn't work for me so I'll have to wait for the Teaching and Learning team to help me during the week.

flash freeze

 We sorted out the financial discrepancies as it was all about tax and where the tax was being added in the report so that was good.

Yesterday was supposed to be a flash freeze but turned out to be a very nice day so I did a couple of walks.

Just about to watch Rustle then have to deal with some Academic integrity issues and get everything ready for week 6.

financial puzzles

 Rustle has a financial committee meeting upcoming and being in charge of getting the documents for them has been more of  challenge as there seem to be mysteries. Have a meeting with the bookkeeper tomorrow before work.

There was a nationwide prayer meeting tonight that was really good

snow showers

 Apparently we are currently experiencing "snow showers" not just snow!

In the morning it was a bit icy but Princess St. was well salted.

Midterms are starting so that is increasing the stress levels!

 In the neighbourhood the parking lot of the Y is full. So the lessening of covid restrictions has helped them.

The construction is still continuing. I thought winter stopped construction but evidently not.

Students are starting to return even though classes are only in person starting feb 28.

Happy birthday to my brother!

 The Kingston city was so excited they cleared the snowbanks! It was a long day with lots of meetings and things to do on my part.

Wrapping up

 James is looking forward to getting back on the ice. But he has a long drive to get there and I am not sure what the billet covid situation is.

Got to hang out with Kim for a bit today. 

Made potato and pork plate. Very tasty. James picked up KFC.

who knew when you turn 50

 I got a letter in the mail from a health agency asking me to send them my poo! That seems so strange to have these things in the mail. Is that a biohazard?

I went to loblaws in the morning before work and it was very quiet

frozen skating

 Today I went to Food basics. They still did not have juice.

Watched Rustle and elevation online. Rustle had the Bishop speaking! Holly was speaking at Elevation.

James went skating in the evening which was very cold. He came back frozen pretty solid but has defrosted now.

google fit

 I added google fit and my phone now counts my steps. It only counts my steps outside when I am carrying my phone, not my steps inside. Yesterday it said 9000, today a bit less because Loblaws was closer than Food Basics.

I went to Loblaws later than usual but it still wasn't too busy. They didn't have the usual bread that I get but they had a second choice which was ok. When I go early there often is no bread at all!

Spent some time working on the end of year Rustle finances.

billet

 Today I went to Food Basics, they were missing quite a bit of stock so maybe the stock people were missing last night, otherwise there may be supply problems.

Today was a lot of managing email, working enrollments.

James' billet family has covid. He is supposed to be travelling back in 9 days so we'll have to see if he gets the all clear. I thought Grand Falls would be more protected.

finally wrapping up the Fall term

 We are still wrapping up all the deferred exams. Spent the day working through emails. Went to a timetabling summit. 

Made Samosa inspired chickpea plate which was very good. Used a lot of pans though.

James had physio today. His team has started meeting online to do workouts as well.
