Here comes "just another manic Monday"

On the other end weekend, I'm glad to say that my dishes are done, the laundry put away and I've made time to paint 3 pictures and spend an evening playing Settlers of Catan (a board game) with friends. I made Pesto Pasta and Couscous Salad - enough to keep me fed a few days and I've done a fair bit of the ever accumulating marking while watching the Maple Leafs get pummelled by the Senators. I guess I can be slightly mollified that at least a Canadian team won that game. Today will be a mostly work day - hopefully with a bit of time for exercise and talking with family. I'm not complaining. For one thing, I have a job and for another, I enjoy the work I do, so even though it might not be my first choice for Sunday afternoon - making slide shows and planning lessons is more pleasant than many other types of work. For the other thing, the more work I do today, the more I will enjoy my job next week. I just sometimes wish there were a few more hours in a day and a few more days in the week....

I wish too that I could also go cross country skiing. I suppose I could, although at -30 with the windchill that isn't exactly the safest idea... and its not the same without trees, mountains and groomed trails and my skis are currently living in the mountains. Ah well, I hope that those of you who can go skiing do and have a great time. Maybe its just as well that there is one less option of things I could do with my time.

Ah well... nose to the grindstone..... only 3 weeks until the break.
