The past few days have been sort of weird – Rob works from 12:00pm – 11 pm. Since I leave for work at 7:45, and am usually asleep by 9ish, we really only see each other for a couple of minutes in the morning, and when we’re asleep. HOWEVER, he has 3 days off per week, so we do get to hang out on those days. Still though, this shift kind of makes me miss driving him in in the morning and picking him up in the evening – the extra hour and a half together in the car each day was some good togetherness time.

It’s part of the lease where we live that residents not snowmobile in the residential area, that we don’t leave dog poop everywhere, and that we not park vehicles on our lawns. Our next-door neighbours don’t snowmobile (although there is someone down the street who did, all winter, through the field in back of our place, and nothing was ever done about it), but their dog poops everywhere and they don’t pick it up. And they have two used travel trailers sitting in their backyard. The poop thing is gross. The trailers don’t bother me. Not that I’d complain anyway, but who do you complain to, exactly, when the neighbour doing the rule-breaking is the housing administrator, i.e. the guy who takes our rent cheques? Heh. Yeah.

This week I only teach two days. It was three days for everyone else but I had a PD day today for the subject I teach (there’s a PD on Thursday, province-wide, and Friday is Good Friday). The PD was in Charlottetown at a building I’d never really been to. It was supposed to start at 9:30. I got to the building at 9:15, and proceeded to drive around in ever-increasing circles looking for parking. I finally found a spot (4 million blocks away) at 9:40, then I RAN (uphill, in fancy shoes) to get there by 9:45. And it turned out that everyone else had had parking problems, too (there are only 4 of us on this committee, plus the head of the department) and I wasn’t THAT late, comparatively. I presented a few activities that I’d done with my class. Plus I showed them these comics by Kate Beaton, because right now we’re teaching about life in the Middle Ages, when it was time for a laugh.
The only problem is that at lunchtime I had to trek back down to the car (because I’d forgotten my lunch on my mad dash) and back up again, and then of course back to the car at the end of the day. And now I’m home, and my right ankle is all gross and swollen (not particularly painful though). So there’s that.

I am now trying to figure out what to cook tonight, and I am watching Beachcombers. Mid-80s Beachcombers, so the mullets and fluorescent socks abound. Old Relic’s still the same though (and PS? I used to have the biggest crush on Jesse. I think he’s the only cast member left alive. I wonder what he’s up to these days? Pat? If you’re out there? Call me).
