There was snow in the air when I woke up this morning ! Some areas south of the city got a fair bit. We only had a sprinkling of rain; certainly not the amount that was forecast.We're going from one extreme to another !! The birds had left us this week. Someone at work said that with the worn weather bugs were in abundance so they didn't need to come to the feeders. We haven't had to fill the feeders for over a week which is quite a change from daily refills.
Work was ordinary which is good. More and more is this one class acting up and trying to pull a Lot of stuff. More and more I feel vindicated. Even the classroom teacher was shocked ! But the best news is that my nemisis is retiring. What she will live on, I don't know as she has a big mortgage, has already claimed her CPP early so that will be quite small and is too young for OAS. However she has screwed the systems so well over the past 20 years I am sure she will survive. One colleaque made the comment that it was about time as she isn't doing the kids any favors this year. She hates the school, hates the kids, hates the teachers' ( who are lovely people) and hates her assignment. For the first time in over 20 years she has had to work-- no longer taking an hour and a half for morning and afternoon breaks - we are only entitled to one 15 min in the morning. Neither can she take 90 min lunch hours as opposed to the 38 min we get ! SStill comes late and leaves early.
While I won't know for a while if I have a job next year or not, I will have outlasted her.
This week we had to do the ' food audit' of Sorrentino's restaurants in the city. The contact person had lost ED's phone number and so we had to do 6 restaurants in 7 days. Way too much and we had not negotiated the payment as of yet. $50 is not enough for a dinner for 2 people. Once we get this all done, we will change things-- or it won't get done. So tonight Hubby and I are going out for supper. He is such a particular eater-- should be fun ! Then I'm taking a girlfriend out and one son another night. ED took YD out last night so if we do continue, ES will be the next !! Good thing I tuck some money away !
I have now done over 1 000 hexagons. More and more ideas have been floating around in my head ! Since I've already washed floors and dusted ( ! ) I can continue adding to the total before I get dressed for dinner. I was going to plant out some potatoes. YD brought me some blue potatoes, but it is too cold and miserable out to play in dirt.
We have an early reservation so we can be home for Outlander (me ) and Game of Thrones (him )
ONly another 46 or 47 days left in the school year. Oops - even one less- I have a Masters' ceremony to attend and my PD day to take !
