Sprocket and Doozer were up on the sofa with me, acting as little furry hot water bottles, when Rob walked through the livingroom into the kitchen. “I’m going to deal with some of the groceries”, he said.
Generally that means that he’s taking whatever meat we’ve bought, and separating/packaging it for the freezer. Because I can’t [...]
I had a sleep, woke up and walked the dogs, and am in the midst of puppy snuggles (even though they’re kind of wet and stinky). It’s all good.
This week has just been one that makes me want to pack up my Samsonite luggage and move to a remote location. If I had Samsonite luggage. I pretty much have my old E.T: The Extraterrestrial backpack and a couple of duffel bags.
Anyway.
1) Perfectly good children dying. Not good.
2) It’s been rainy and [...]
Our friends’ daughter passed away this morning. She was seven years old.
She started her life with many challenges ahead. She was born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, which through her short life caused untold problems. She required oxygen at all times to keep her saturation at a normal level; she required a feeding tube [...]
One of my coworkers calls my student teacher my “work husband”. Which is funny but also kind of creepy to me because the guy is 8 years younger than I am. And while I have dated people 8 years older than me (okay one person), I don’t think I could handle the fact [...]
I have been making fun of Rob all day long, because his sparkly vampire date fast approaches.
See, the thing is this. His friend is kind of … I don’t know. He just really likes everything having to do with vampires or werewolves or whatever (I just asked Rob how to describe W. to you. [...]
Bullet points!
- My student teacher is awesome and starts teaching tomorrow. Good thing too because I am STRESSED BEYOND BELIEF with the seemingly thousands of things going on.
- Rob has been asking me what I want for Christmas. I can think of two things: a jewelery box and some Dansko shoes. My work shoes are [...]
I never thought I’d need this kind of thing because to be honest what kind of assets do I have? Nothing. But I’m thinking I could have benefitted from some sort of identity theft protection. Suffice it to say that because of someone using my mailing address (not even my name, Social Insurance Number, nothing, [...]
I have a university student job-shadowing me for about a month. Today was his first day; I think he’ll come back tomorrow, although he seemed pretty tired out by the end of the day. Which is sort of funny because he didn’t do any teaching today; he’s just observing for the first few days, and [...]
Husband: here, let me scrub your back.
Wife: I could get used to this. We should shower together every single day.
Husband: Sounds good!
Wife: Hah, we couldn’t.
Husband: Why not?
Wife: You don’t like to shower in the morning. You shower at night.
Husband: True, but people can change their ways. Besides, it could have its benefits.
Wife: What do you [...]
