Its time for one

So I was thinking that I hadn't posted in while and you were most likely thinking "Man, she must be crazy busy!" But that's just not the case. In truth, things have been relatively slow and the school year is continuing without too many surprises. So I thought it was finally time to post about my (mostly mundane) life.

House updates:

- We've purchased the tile for our bathroom/kitchen/back porch floors and are installing it next weekend.

- The final wallpaper in the stairwell is about to come down and we'll be selecting a color for the upstairs hallway soon.

- A compost bin has been constructed in the back and is now full of decomposing vegetation.

- The chimney mortar will hopefully be fixed within the next two weeks before a true cold snap occurs.

- Next year's garden will be staked out and tilled before the end of October.

School updates:

- Things are heating up with the union and I'm keeping busy with my secretarial position.

- The first cycle will be over in two weeks and most of my students are attempting to raise their dismal grades...but for some (most!) its too little to late.

- I've started developing my lesson plans for my trip to China and organizing for my long-term sub. in April.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot that's new. Hopefully we'll have more to post in the rest of October.
