Thursday - Cold and snowy

A goodish day.  I had a surprise this morning.  I woke up with a start, thinking that I had overslept and would be late for work.  I thought it was 9:30, but it was only 8:30!  Surprise, surprise…I was early, but I decided to get up then anyway.  Yay me.

I showered, watched a little TV while I ate breakfast and then a little later made lunch.  I left just before noon.

I made good time, but because it was so cold and windy it was difficult to breathe for me.  I’m suffering a bit from it right now.  Sigh.

Once I got to my school I dumped off my backpack inside and then got busy shovelling snow.  I got it done, but decided to come back in 30 minutes to check.  

I set up for my class. I changed too, and generally prepared myself for work.  I went outside 30 minutes before class and there had been a bit of snow, so I took care of it.  When I finished, I went back inside and then it was time for my class.  My student was a couple of minutes late, but we had a good time.  We were studying grammar, and tenses…two things I’m nervous about teaching!

After she left, I did my paperwork and prepped for tomorrow.  Then, I did something different for me.  I ran off to the drugstore.  It took me about 10 minutes to walk there and I did a little shopping in piece without my dear husband!  I walked back to my school.  It was after 5 pm AND it was still light.  Hurray for that!

At my school again, I had some tea and got stuck in on my recent newspapers.  I didn’t finish, but I got today’s done and most of the Sunday paper.  I didn’t hear from F until 6:30, but he came over to pick me up and I was happy to see him!

We had a decent dinner in Cocos and then hit up the grocery store on the way home.  We didn’t buy a lot, just stuff for adding to meals.

We had a quiet evening in.  I watched a bit of TV, as did F.  We actually shared the TV.  When I had seen something, I let him take over the TV for a bit. It was Ultimate Fighting yucky stuff, but I don’t care that much if I don’t have to watch it.

I went to the chesterfield to watch The Good Wife and do a little sewing.  Matthew Perry was on again and he played a very devious man.  He so wasn’t Chandler Bing, sob!  I enjoyed it though.

And that’s about it for me. I’d like to get an early night tonight.  Wish me luck with that! Night.
