Back to work / school / work /school

Ugh...okay, so it's 11:30 at night and I am not tired.

I have to wake up at 6:00 in the morning to get ready for my first day back at work after a month of holidays and I'm soo not happy.

Don't get me wrong. I love teaching. I really do. But I need a break. It's been over 11 years. I'm tired and to be honest, a little bored with it.

I'm hoping it won't be for very long anymore, and praying praying praying my book queries get accepted and actually work for me to support me writing full-time...at which point, I'll jump for joy, rent a big neon sign and helicopter and announce it to the whole of Canada my dream has come true!! lol

Okay, okay, not so drastic...maybe just some fireworks on the beach! :)

Since I've been sleeping late at night this whole past month, I tried to remedy the situation and make myself tired by doing a Tae-Bo Bootcamp kickass video for 45 mins, an hour of bellydancing and drank 3 glasses of wine.

Guess what? I'm WIDE awake...:(

So, I thought I'd leave a little note to my lovely blogger friends to let you know there is one very unhappy Canuck in Japan at the moment...

BUT, I am still concentrating on happy thoughts as I focus much attention on the decreasing heat and coming of FALL, my favourite season, and that September marks the month of countdown that ANY day, ANY moment, we should be receiving news about my hubby's application.

Sooo...my vacation HAD to end, so September could come and we could get closer to knowing something...

SEE??? I always find a roundabout way to stick to my resolution of no anger, just calm and relaxation and happy thoughts :)

Seriously I will have to get to bed and try to sleep...maybe I'll smack my head against the wall really hard to knock myself out...that should do it...

Actually the trick would be to sit by my husband and watch him play his damn Playstation games...that should get me snoring in minutes.

I absolutely hate that thing and will never understand or fathom the concept of how grown men can waste brain cells voluntarily on something so useless...but that's another story.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week and I will stop by soon enough to leave another message and check everyone's posts... :)

Nite nite :)

  6. Hi Again,

    Ok I think I got it fixed! If you click on the subscribe button now, you should be able to choose your "feader" or "Blog Roll" and it should work! Please let me know!

  7. Upon Further Inspection:

    Sorry about this but it seems that only part of the subscribe program is working. If you hover your mouse pointer over the "subscribe" button, a small popup window apears. Do Not choose your reader or blogroll from this popup. For some reason, that I cannot locate within the php settings and program settings, it just won't work from there. If you click on the "subscribe" button itself, it will bring you to another page. From there, if you choose your corresponding reader or blogroll, the whole thing will(or should)work! Sorry for the inconvenience!
