So much smoke today. All of Ottawa smelled like a forest fire. I'm happy to report my lungs behaved themselves, but my throat was sore all day long. Things are a little too dry it seems.

Picture 150

Just one of those days where I am tired and sleepy. I suspect this is going to be a busy week coming up, so I'm just going to keep it down today and rest.

Today a friend from high school got married. It was very cool to see him again, since I spent all of elementry school with him, all of high school with him, and it's only been the past couple of years I haven't seen him on a regular basis. It's very cool to see him moving on in his life and and getting married.

Didn't start the day tired, but I will tell you that I am ending the day tired as can be. I'm so glad the stupid weather seems to be over, it was livable outside today.

Today was hot, but not nearly as hot as yesterday. I suppose it makes it easier to handle when you go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to the air conditioned mall to see the air conditioned movie then get in the air conditioned car to head to the air conditioned classroom.

Picture 146

Today we broke records for heat it sounds like. I can't believe how hot it got. Thank God for the air conditioning, or I wouldn't be sleeping tonight.

What I hate the most about coming back from a trip is unpacking. I don't want to do laundry.

Also, went to the daycare today and walked away with 4 more shifts. That's progress!

Picture 144

Homeward bound now. I will miss you cottage with your tiny little little washroom and very poor deck boards.

Picture 143

More games on our last official day here. I am going to miss the hot tub.

I think just about everyone there has been having a good time so far. I don't know if I would want to do the cottage thing again this year, but my first experience is good so far.

Picture 142

The cottage was really fun. Except when it would randomly start raining on us. Yeah, that was a little less fun.

Picture 141

Went down to a cottage today. The ride down was long, and I really think the roads through Quebec were drawn by a 4 year old with a crayon. We managed to arrive in one piece.

According to class today picking a baby up off the floor is like a 12 step program, and one of those steps involves lift off of one of your feet from the ground. It was sort of confusing and far too complicated.

The pictures for the long weekend will all be posted on Monday or Tuesday, since I am not bringing my computer with me.

Picture 139

Good news for the rest of the summer: The AC in the car works again. Long car rides in the hot sticky weather really isn't fun.

Picture 138

I like this time of year, since pretty much wherever I go, things smell like lilacs.

Picture 137

Nothing much was accomplished today other than making sure the daycare got the card game I found for them. The weekend seems to have caught up with me, and I spent most of the day tired. I also found out that this coming up weekend is the long weekend.

Picture 136

After searching for Dominion for most of a month, I just happen to stumble across it by accident. I like when things like that happen.

Picture 135

Today was a wacked out sort of day, and I was scatter brained all day.

Picture 134

Went back to the Daycare today as a supply. It was really nice being back, and I hope to go back again soon. It was neat to talk to the people there, like Joe and Linda, not as a student, but as someone actually working there.

Picture 133

I had to get a hair cut to go with my new glasses. It isn't really as vain as it sounds though. My hair kept getting -behind- my glasses and it was driving me up the wall.

Picture 132

Today I got glasses.

Picture 131

The whole 'not having to go somewhere in the morning' thing is still hanging over me. It's sort of weird. That said, it seems my internal clock has decided it's still good for me to wake up early, and I'm okay with that.

picture 130

A day spent doing not much of much. It's sort of throwing me off. I do have stuff I should be doing, but it isn't terribly appealing.

Picture 129

The trend of cold and rainy continued today. The idea that I don't have to get up tomorrow to go to placement is a little alien, I will admit. I think I'm going to miss going into Forest Valley.

Picture 128

Rainy and cold, not very fun. Not fun at all.

Picture 127

This was the first day in a very long time where I didn't have to do anything. It felt a little bit strange, but it was nice to sit down and just relax... or have an afternoon nap.

Picture 126

Today was one of those days when the weather couldn't make up it's own mind. First it was wet, raining and cold. Of course it would be when I had to go to the daycare in the morning (for which, by the way, I am now a supply teacher).


And then it goes to windy. I guess this is what moved all the storm clouds out of our area. The tree across the street with the nice pink flowers just about lost all of it's petals.

And then it just became sunny and bright. Sort of cold, but the sky was clear with huge white clouds. I mean common Mother Nature, what's going on here?

Picture 125

Today was my last official day on placement. Issie came in and marked me, and the daycare gave me a glowing review. I'm tired, but today was a good day.

Picture 124

Today was my first day of classes, and tomorrow is my last day of placement. It's a little bitter sweet to have it done.

Picture 123

I hadn't heard of a single person today who slept well last night. Not one.

Picture 122

The nice weather has seen to it that everything has come alive. Sadly, that means the bugs too are out. I don't mind them so much, except for when buzzy ones get stuck in my room.

I really enjoy looking at the flower this time of year. You don't get to see them like this for long.

Picture 121

Today wasn't a bad day. Went shopping for new clothes, went out to dinner, saw a funny movie, got a tacky new Pokemon thingy. If it wasn't for the fact that I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep there after, I would say it would be an awesome day.
