Good morning, everyone!
It has been a very rushed morning. Now, I finally have a chance to relax, although I have only been awake for about an hour and a half!
For the first time this year, I am teaching somewhere that isn't Russell. I was told on Friday that it could be a quiet week, as no teachers were away for various school related activities. I received a call for North Dundas this morning, which is about a 45 minute drive away. When I received the call, I was half awake - after all, it was 6am... They used to start at 8:15am, so I thought I had plenty of time... Then, when I looked to confirm the start time, it said 8am... Uh oh! And this was at 7:12am!! Anyway, I had to sprint out the door. Thankfully, Kim was able clean up my breakfast... I made it just after the bell.
The somewhat good part? After all this rushing, I have the first period off! I could have taken my time after all. Oh well... I'm glad I am here. I have three Grade 11 and 12 classes. They should be easy to handle. I am going to imagine, too, that a bunch will probably just go home as they're only really work periods and I cannot teach them much... Physics, Calculous and Vectors as well as Advanced Functions are just too much for me!
As I said before, I hope to be around much more now... Despite only teaching Phys Ed. all last week, I never really received my breaks, as I was always asked to fill in another class.
Well, I think that was a long post. I hope you all had a great weekend. It's hard to believe that another Rudolph Day has arrived! Only 8 months to go until we reach the most Magical Day of the Year!
Have a great Monday, everyone!

Good morning everyone, Happy Monday!
I'm heading out in a few minutes, I have a doctor appointment this morning. Just a routine yearly exam. I'm going to run a couple of errands afterward then head back home to work on some chores around the house. My youngest has off today, we're going to grab Chipotle for lunch and then do some shopping later this afternoon. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, One and All!
We sail boldly into a new week, ready to face the new numbers and the gradually reduced remaining time until our eagerly anticipated and much coveted Christmas Season is once again upon us.
Days to the Season: 202
Days to Christmas Day: 244
And can that first number be correct? Will we really open the 200-day Season Window the DAY AFTER TOMORROW?
Will we truly arrive at the 1/3 Christmas Day marker TOMORROW??
These questions only have one answer, and that's YES!!
We had a coolish day here yesterday but it was sunny, calm and dry.
Today will see the start of a warming trend and we should be in the 80's for most if not all the remainder of the week.
(Now, let's not go to far too early, Mother Nature!)
Currently, we reside here in central NC at 60 degrees under calm and sunny skies.
Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

Good morning, snowflake!
It was quite the rushed drive! I hope so, too. The classes should not be a problem at all, but you never know!
I hope you also have a wonderful day!
Morning, FKB!!
Ours definitely was productive!

LOL
It's not been heavy where I am. Always tend to mix in with rain so doesn't stick.
The cold temps and rain never ends. Gets milder in the summer (around 15C) but never as warm or hot as you guys.
Speaking of snow ... It's snowing... and hailing. It's mixed with rain so not sticking though.
Thank you HMG . He is already feeling better. SO hopefully he should be fine for school tomorrow.
I am beyond excited! It was so tough when she left last year. I can't believe it's almost time for her to come again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping the summer take it's time while she is here. Time goes so quickly and we only see each once per year.
Have a great day!
Always so lovely to see you Brent.
Glad to hear all is well and your are working. Hope Kim and Simon are both well too.
I also hope your injury is much better now.
Look forward to seeing more of you here and hopefully I can keep up here too as we countdown to our favourite time of year.
