Tina – good luck in your new job!

My day sort of evolved. It all began when I noticed I had almost run out of bread. I am picky when it comes to bread, so a visit to the nearby bakery won't do. It has to be the traditionally manufactured bread from the organic food market or the organic bakery. wink So at the very least I was required to make a trip to the mall.

I already had a short list of a few things I wanted to pick up there. And while I opened that list on my computer I was thinking it was time to stop working with two monitors, but only one keyboard. It IS difficult to type when you have to look over your shoulder to see what you are doing. So I added a keyboard to my shopping list. Of course I had to do a little online research on keyboards first, just so I would know what to keep in mind.

I went to the mall, bought bread and a nice little keyboard that fits my limited desk space perfectly, but still has standard sized keys (not the little netbook keys). Then I checked the gardening shops for fresh herbs. I'm not sure if I want soil and seeds or if I want plants. I just looked around, I didn't want to carry all that much home anyway.

Then I inspected one clothes shop and discovered that this year's trend in sports clothes is definitely “candy colour”. shocked I was looking for “work at home” pants. I usually wear some kind of sports pants at home, because I want something I can wear, wash, dry, repeat and look respectable in. Recently I have been rather cheap with my sports pants, but now I changed my mind after one pair of pants quite literally fell apart after the first wash. I was somewhat overwhelmed with the selection in the store. I eventually tried several pairs of pants and actually found and bought one that met my expectations. Hooray!

It was the first time I had seen myself in a full sized mirror in a while. I guess that extra hip padding plans to stay. I, however, plan to take lots of pictures this spring, summer and fall though – and to do that I will have to walk around quite a bit. Maybe that will make an impression on my shape. smile

On the way home I stopped by my favourite drug store and added a few supplies.

Now it's supper time already. I will have leftovers and then there are still quite a few thing to put away. I think I will experiment with a new arrangement of my desk space tomorrow. It works now, but I think it could be better.

I don't think I will be doing any crafts after being taken out to dinner with my DS2 and DDIL. I forgot when I was doing my list that it might be later when I get home, and I have an early day tomorrow with the crocheting group.

Hoping to get some more babysteps in tomorrow afternoon. Now that it is looking nicer, I want it finished, but as always it takes time.

The power was out for about 30 minutes this afternoon. Sounded like a transformer exploded! Now it is time to reset clocks!
I hate that! LOL

Have a good evening.

Thanks Diana and Jazzlady regarding my new trays. I'm looking fwd to using them! I went to the city today with MIL to do some shopping. Shopping trip was successful and that is all that got done. Hoping tomorrow will be productive around here. My Dr had me up my thyroid meds so I'm hoping that will be the answer to my energy/depression/weight gain issues.

Thanks everyone, its actually my current job but we have to accept a new contract every year. I will be teaching grade 8 again in the fall.

Today's JDI list:
-write acceptance letter for job position (done)
-load of laundry
-refill vitamin holder
-quick wipe of the bathroom
-take out garbage/clean out fridge
-get paperwork into binders possibly to head towards scanning

**Due to 2 meetings today in which I had to do a bunch of typing for due to becoming secretary of 1 committee which took up my time tonight. Then I went to play badminton. I marked a math sheet so that we can work on the other sheet tomorrow during class.

My JDI list is pretty sad today though. frown
I am moving stuff to my list for tomorrow and hopefully it will get accomplished.

Tomorrow's JDI list:
-load of laundry
-refill vitamin holder
-quick wipe of the bathroom
-take out garbage/clean out fridge
-get paperwork into binders possibly to head towards scanning
