- I met the person to whom I am assigned to give respite care for the next while. I think we did okay for our first meeting, but if she tells my coordinator that she didn’t like the chemistry, I won’t take it personally.
- I got a letter from the agency where I applied to supply teach. They didn’t choose me. I’m going to assume it’s because I am only available evenings and Fridays. They probably had only so many slots and had to fill them with people who are actually available days. It was a good experience interviewing, though, and I’m glad I took the opportunity to make myself better known to them.
- Sylvain and I took a lovely stroll on the trail tonight; he bought me an ice cream.
- I remembered my dreams this morning. I love remembering my dreams.
- I am so grateful to my Waterloo friend M for giving me a little rice cooker that her friend left behind when he moved back to Taiwan. I don’t know what I would do without it.
What I learned today: how sailboats sail upwind. Wow.

Tell me how sailboats sail upwind. I have always wondered.
I actually had to Google it and read several sites’ explanations before sort of getting it. It’s kind of like “crabbing” if you’re an airplane, or how snakes crawl by pushing first one way then the other with their stomach muscles. That analogy works for my brain, anyway. K
I’ve never wondered about sailboats sailing upwind, but I am now. Hello sweetie, glad to hear you sounding very well.
You are paid for your ESL classes right? So the supply job was to be extra income? Maybe they’ll call if they are in a pinch? Do you stay on a list?
Lynn, I am well paid for the four hours per week that I now work. I cannot live on four hours a week, though, so I must pick up more hours soon. No, they won’t call me if they’re in a pinch because I did not make it onto their list. K
