Re: Marabou Stork Monday @ TDD - C&C
You are right, trissie. They did me a favour in more than one way. The rain was trickling when I was out, but it's coming down in earnest now that we are settled back home. To be fair, slow mornings are more rare for you than they are for me, so a good trade from where I sit.
And speaking of things that are good where I sit, I have sampled the cottage roll and mmmm.... delicious! And $5.00/lb instead of $16.
Is there any chance of your having time to read after you do the basics on the house?

Re: Marabou Stork Monday @ TDD - C&C
trissie, there was some sort of work being done on the parking lot, although I couldn't see anything different this morning, except for a huge puddle in the middle where it's not draining well.
We will eat around 7 pm tonight, after my 6:30 zoom call.
Hi Peaches.
Bama, I can't believe it's fall already! Our school is for adults only (sometimes in name only LOL!). They come to us from all over the world to learn English for various reasons: some want to get into a US university. Some are spouses of grad students. Once in a while we get a grad student, but the university has its own program, which some of our teachers have taught at or teach at concurrently. (They tend to like teaching at our school more.
) Some want to improve their English for their jobs in their home countries. Some Japanese companies connected to the car industry in our state send their businessmen to us -- not so much right now. We also have several corporate clients and teach business English classes to their non-native English speaking employees, but I stay away from those as my interests are more purely academic English. Our school provides student visas.
I'm not sure we have cottage rolls here, Doggedly.
That's as far back as I can scroll.
Thanks for your well wishes. The class went pretty well for the observation, all things considered. The students were pretty sharp but a bit subdued today. One spirited student had stayed up until 2 a.m. talking to her adult son on the phone.
I'm sleepy. I think I'll get a cup of coffee before replying to the church.
Next:
- email reply to church - bulletin info
- some qt
- call GF restaurant re: ordering croissants
Later:
- make the bed
- unload the car?
- call GF restaurant in IL on the off chance we can order a dozen croissants for the funeral
- I'm hoping for an email reply from NH re: wheelchair and chest of drawers
- go for a walk
- start on the slideshow
- email tech guy at church re: time to meet on Thursday
- Quick response to FB condolences
- payroll: correct my own GGT errors from last session.
- Can I make a draft of the midterm test?/ A practice test?
- WF - 2 items
- find the bulletin to Dad's Memorial service
- find/ OR order slightly larger photo of Mom for memorial service
- 6:30 zoom meeting with pastor re: Mom's funeral
- dinner: quinoa Mexican rice bowl, roasted yellow squash
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps
TaDas!
- up; weighed self
- coffee
- email deletions and weather website - rain between 11 and 2
- payroll: finish prep for IW D6
- payroll: update gradelink week 2
- payroll: update timesheet
- quinoa out of the freezer
- email from lawyer (actually the paralegal) + quick reply
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- payroll: printed out 2 handouts
- 11- 1 payroll: teach IW D6
- 12-1 payroll: observed by CM (also a friend)
- 1-1:45 payroll: teacher meeting
- home; lunch

Re: Marabou Stork Monday @ TDD - C&C
Helia, how cool to meet people from all walks of life. Does your school teach other courses, like the three R’s or ….
Trissie, I hope you find a way to watch. Did you try the newish show featuring a young Gibbs? I couldn’t get into it for some reason, seems very dark, I like a little humor with my mystery.
Dogged, yay for missing the heavier part of the rain. You’re finding the rainbow in the storm almost literally. Maybe you’ll see a real rainbow today.
Done:
Up
Bible
Weigh
Feed Lily
Pick up bathroom
Emails
Pet chores
Wipe down counters
Eat, log breakfast
Vacuum
Dw
Do:
Spend time in every room, hope I don’t get distracted and off course.

No, Bama, we are strictly ESL. Though the TOEFL classes have scientific and social science topics.
Next:
- looking for the bulletin for my father's mem. service -- I just saw one recently but where?
- walk to WF for an avocado
- walk to Walgreens for photo pick up
Done:
- emailed obit + pic to church secretary; also asked some Qs
- ordered a larger pic (but not too large) of Mom to display at the memorial service (by the guest book)
