March Break is one week away, and in an alternate universe, where I have a full-time teaching job, I would be ecstatic about this fact.  However, due to my NOT having a full-time job and only working part-time right now at best, the fact that March Break is just around the corner means little to nothing.  Calvin mentioned that at least during March ( Read more... )

I get into moods sometimes, generally on days when I do not work.  It seems lately those days have been more and more numerous, though I cannot comprehend why.  I went to Toronto for two days last week and got about four work calls during those two days away.  It seems like they all just wait to pounce on me when I'm incapable of working.   I have ( Read more... )

I went to bed twenty minutes ago, but I cannot sleep.  The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games have just ended.  My post-Olympic depression has already set in.  The past two weeks of my life have seemingly been devoted to these games.  I've been glued to my TV and to my laptop, checking on scores and stats, watching sports, cheering on athletes who ( Read more... )

The past two weeks of my life have been centered around the Olympics.  I am not a sports fanatic, by no means.  I do not follow any sports, novt even hockey.  I go to the occasional Sudbury Wolves game, maybe once a year or once every second year.  I don't even like playing sports.  When someone asks me "What's your favorite sport?", I never know ( Read more... )

Calvin and I are leaving for Toronto shortly because he has a big interview tomorrow.  If he passes the interview (which I am most certain he will) he goes up one level in his job.  This is going to be a BIG deal because it means he can A) get paid more (always lovely) and B) potentially start his own business (if where he works right now gets too ( Read more... )

When I don't work, I don't know what to do with myself at home.  The house is clean, there aren't any dishes to do, all the laundry is done.  We aren't going to be here for supper tonight so I don't even have to look up recipes.  I made cookies yesterday.  Watching TV and reading is actually getting old, which sounds blasphemous but is still true ( Read more... )

It's almost March.  For the past few days, this sentence has been running through my mind: It's almost March ( Read more... )

The Olympics have been keeping me occupied recently.  I haven't worked a full day since last Wednesday (did a half day last Thursday), so I've been able to stay pretty focused on the Olympics.  Of course, this means I make less money.  Which is never a good thing.  But, I cannot control that right now, unfortunately.  I'm working tomorrow, so at ( Read more... )

I think I have Olympic Fever.  Last night, we watched the Opening Ceremonies with a few friends.  The show was amazing.  I loved every moment of it: the music, the dancing, the fiddles, the singing.  The parade of nations was inspiring.  It was so crazy to see how many countries are represented at the Olympics; countries I have never even heard of ( Read more... )

My body only seems to need eight hours of sleep to be content.  Once I've slept a good eight hours, my body wakes up and is ready for the day.  This means, of course, that I go to bed at 10PM and wake up ready for work at 7AM (because I've been fighting wakefulness since 6AM), refreshed and rejuvenated.  It also means that I'm tired by 10PM, so the ( Read more... )
