Whew!
It’s been a busy couple of days.
I went from planning to TOC (Teach on Call–we don’t call them substitute teachers here) to applying for and starting a brand new job in a the space of less than a day!
I’m teaching a variety of classes and ages (PE, francias, and music to name a few.) It’s part time, but enough to get me benefits (woo hoo–I can get my eyes checked and my teeth cleaned!)
But the best news of all? My boy came for the summer. Now that he’s here, the new place really feels like home.
(We’re in a tiny furnished suite while I look for something a little more permanent, but a few things are mine. The quilt came from a thrift store and was a total deal! The coffee table came from the edge of a parking lot and was free!!! The spring/summer shoe collection shows my weakness for ballet flats.)

So glad to see the coffee table made the move, it was quite a find! Is that what the boy is sleeping on or do you have a second room for him 🙂 Enjoy the new job, once you get yourself a more permanent abode, I’ll pop over to PA. I haven’t been there in years, last time was with same boy’s uncle as I recall.

It was touch and go getting that giant coffee table into my compact car–like playing a 3-D game of Tetris! My boy has his own room, so the coffee table is available for you when you come visit! More big changes in the works, so a summer visit would be best! 🙂

That’s when I was thinking, though I’m sure Port Alberni has many Spring enticements.

We’ve skipped spring and blasted right into a summer heat wave with temps in the high 20’s! The Chihuahua is finally happy! 🙂

Indeed! Life looks up! The shoes are a wonder – considering I don’t ever wear footwear and have none!

Clearly you live in a warmer climate than moi. You’d be losing toes to frostbite if you attempted to live a shoeless life here! 🙂

Looks like home already. We call them supply teachers over here.

Supply teachers is a little less cumbersome than teacher teaching on call.

Good to see your settling in. Do you think the permanent job coming up was life telling you that you made the right move? Moisy x
