blah

Well I'm back from Easter weekend on the island. I was sorry to leave because I enjoyed being at home amongst the quiet and serenity of Lantzville. Easter dinner last night was good....ham (chicken burger for me), yams, scalloped potatoes (there was some discussion about whether or not they were cooked enough), salad and asparagus and then berry pie and soy ice cream for dessert. I basically had to eat and then go to the ferries and it was a good thing that I did because I just made it on to the 8:15....phew. It would have been extremely painful to have to wait for the 10:45 and then have another 2 hours to go before getting to the other side.

I felt sad saying good bye to Razja and Oma especially. Razja because she is so old and I always think that perhaps it might be the last time that I see her and Oma because she gets teary when people leave. I wish that I could have stayed there longer.

I just got my car fixed - it needed a new fuel pump. Ray, the mobile mechanic, came and did it and he did a good job. I like him. I felt foolish this morning because I walked right past him when he came to our door. I thought that he was meeting me at my car so I started walking towards Hudson but the realized that that was him so I quickly turned around and walked back. "I'm sorry...it's been a long weekend!" I sheepishly said. No problem he replied. Then when he had figured out that it was the fool pump there was some miscommunication about who was going to go and get it. I assumed that I would because that was what he had me do the last time he worked on my car so I just left but when I came back he told me that he was driving around because he thought that I was going to go with him. Oops...nevermind. I got it and he fixed it and it was all fine in the end and now my car is running again. Thank goodness.

Well, I came home last night and discovered this morning that Izzy has learned to jump on the counter in the kitchen. Great. So far she is the only one that I have caught doing this. What a brat. Those guys think that they own the whole house! Now we won't be able to leave anything edible on the stove or counter without it being covered. ARghhhh

So it is Easter monday and I am feeling tired. I haven't been feeling like myself for quite awhile. I feel a little like my life is getting out of control because work and ECE stuff on Montessori stuff is keeping me SO busy and my eating, sleeping,exercise patterns have gone down the tube. This = poor social/emotional health. So I need to get myself back on track. I'm going to start with sleeping and eating and 3 times a week of exercise and hopefully this will help. My ECE course will be finished on April 22 and this will be a load off my back as well. Speaking of which I need to go and work on some assignments. Three more to go.
