tuesday

well, yesterday 12 staff didn't come in. And today we thought we would try to do better, so 15 staff didn't show up. It makes the day really difficult when the other people in the school aren't around to do their jobs. We all have to do our jobs for the school to run smoothly, or their is chaos. Anyways, I am very happy that I was feeling well enough to drag myself to school today, because I don't think that there would have been a sub for me, even though the principal said not to come in. We had only six kids today because of the cold weather and I was able to relax throughout the day and didn't have to push myself to hard, so all things work out!

Friday is a PD day. We are going to Garden River with John D'or Praire. I encourage you to look it up on a map...there is basically no road in!

This coming weekend the school liason, Daniel, has invited me to join him and his family as they go to snare rabbits. I will get to set up my own trap. I will get to set my own bait. I will learn to check the trap. Once I have a rabbit, they will help me to skin it and then I will be able to dry the fur. I will get to keep the rabbit meat and they will show me which parts are good for me to eat. I am very excited and I can't wait...this is the reason I am here...to learn these customs and traditions!

Oh, I was swabbed for strep at the nursing station and nothing came up. It's just the flu they say. The nurses gave me a whole bunch of different types of cough medicines and candies for free, so I am set. drink lots and take these. I did and I am...probable why I am feeling better.

I am hosting the teachers St. Patricks day party at my home and I am very excited. And I might be moving soon. The nicest teacherages are the 7plex, and one space just opened up. I don't know why, but I was given the chance to move in there...I think I might. It is three levels, Two big bedrooms up stairs with two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen with lots of stogare on the main floor, and big basement (not finished) with washer and dryer. There is a backyard...so front and back entrance, and it is closer to the school. It's on the end, and my friend Gail will be living next door. I don't really see any negatives to this, so I think I will be moving soon...And it comes with Satellite hooked up because the guy before me doesn't want to take his stuff with him, so I won't have to buy all of the equipment, it will already be there. Hey, more room for family and friends to visit! I'm going to be here for a while, so there is lots of time to visit!

Did I tell you that I am going to sign next years contract? Super exciting!
