No, this blog has nothing to do with math in school and has e+v+e+r+y+t+h+i+n+g to do with just day-to-day life.
COUNTING DOWN 13 DAYS!!! To departure with my hermanita (little sister) for an awesome seventeen day adventure. Stay tuned!
FOUR DAYS AND COUNTING : Out of seven teaching days, four days have been snow days. We are getting smacked down with blizzards and big dumps of snow every time we turn around. Such is February on the east coast. Thank goodness it is a short month.
TALLYING: Nineteen days that I have had THE worst sinusitis I have ever had, in over four years. Neddi pot, ginger inhalers, nasal sprays, Advil Cold and Sinus, honey lozenges, Vicks, essential oil drops..... you name it, I have tried it. The BEST? Hot buttered rum before bed!! This delicious drink is due to the generosity of my Camino walking partner, who stocked my bar before she got sick, returning home sooner than expected because of her own HUGE misadventures.
EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHT!
Number of pages in one of the two books I read.
SEVEN!
Number of kleenex boxes I went through.
LOSING COUNT!
Of those who have watched out for me: i.e.
J & J, friends passing through town who stopped to take Vimy for a walk, put supper in the oven, set the table, and drop by at work to give me a big hug. How did they know which school I was at? They spotted Jiminy Cricket a mile away!
My Vecina (neighbour), who put out my garbage, checked on me, gave me food and magazines, bought me extra kleenex boxes, ran errands for me, took my dog for the afternoon, took him for walks with hers.... s-o-o-o-o many tally marks there. :)
A friend who shoveled out my drifted in front door, plowed my driveway, unplugged my kitchen sink, and sent me encouraging messages every day, extolling the virtues of lemon.
Friends who knew to call when I was having a BIG "pity party", and cheered me up to no end.
My hermanita doing ALL the work and planning for our upcoming adventure, while giving me continuous pep talks about resting, and taking time off work.
Once again, I repeat myself. I AM BLESSED!!!
