Hello friends! Ah! I've just finished a busy 2 months of life. (1) As of yesterday, I've just finished 10 weeks of payroll with a much heavier than desired work schedule. I've made my limits very clear for our next session, plus I believe all the teachers will be on deck , something that hasn't happened for a couple months -- thus the heavy schedules. The Canadian hire's papers still haven't come through yet.. . . Her presence would help a lot too! (2) My talk for the women's ministry is done. It's nice to have that off my plate. I think I already shared about that here, so I won't share again. (3) M left for 2 months in Europe last Sunday, so it's just dh and me in the house right now! She wasn't a big burden to have around, but she was another person in the house, which resulted in a little more cooking and shopping and cleaning and time spent watching out for her. We did chauffeur her around a little.
The class I developed for payroll was very well received. My supervisor interviewed my students on Friday, and said they all had very positive things to say, so that felt good! There are definitely some things I would do differently next time. I need to make a note of those this weekend, and I will have a meeting with my supervisor to debrief all of that next week.
So, I feel some weights lifting from my life. And I now need to take on some new weights around the house.
I did jog 4 miles this a.m. - in the rain. I think that was the wettest jog I've ever done. Most of the time it was light rain/ drizzle, which isn't bad, but a thunderstorm did roll through at one point, and that was pretty hard rain. I was soaked through by the end, but I didn't let that keep me from stopping by WF for some odds and ends en route home.
I have a quiet weekend planned, a couple errands today, laundry, putting away the stacks of books I used to study and prep for my talk, and other tasks tidying up around the house. I'm also going to see if I can obtain fresh birth certificates for our kids online. They need them for Dutch passports. We still haven't done this -- dh and I have both been so busy. Our yard needs a lot of attention as well.
Have a lovely day, SHE friends!
