TGIF

Thank goodness it's Friday! It's been a long and stressful week (save for Monday) with no work and no work prospects aside from helping mom at the bookstore: not exactly competitive wages. Oh well. The week is gone so there's no sense in fretting about it now.

E. and I will be heading out of town in just a few days so there's a fair bit to get done around the apartment so as to avoid a mess on arriving home. The nice thing is, I won't have to cook for five whole days!! :)

I know that October is supposed to be a slow month for supply teaching but this is ridiculous! I've only worked a total of 3 (2 full, 2 half) days at only two schools. I can't say that I'm not concerned. I'm sure it will pick up but, at the moment, I wish I was doing more to add to the household income. I love my comfortable life with Mister, and I can't say that I regret having so much "free" time on my hands, however, it is disconcerting none-the-less.

Beyond employment (or lack thereof), October has been a wonderful month thus far: the weather has been sunny, crisp and clear; life has been nearly free of tragedy; good news abounds; and Thanksgiving was a real treat. To add to it, Mister and I will be travelling to Ontario next week* to witness our friend K's wedding to her long-time sweetheart, J, whom she met online. The trip promises to be fun as we're going up in a rented van with our friend C., and staying overnight (there and back) in Ottawa with our friend W. A five day road trip complete with wedding, free cottage, and good company: does it GET any better than that?!

*October 18-22 (I'll be sure to post pictures on the gallery soon after our return)

Turkey Day Part 2: Stuffed!

After a full Thanksgiving dinner last night at Mister's parents' place, we're off for the same treat tonight at my parents'. I'm not sure I can manage another full holiday meal...but I'll certainly try my best ;)
This weekend has been a really nice break, and spending time with Mister has been great. There's nothing like avoiding agenda and sleeping in three days in a row! I haven't been this relaxed since the honeymoon.
