I tutor a couple of students in the nearby Lake Winward neighborhood. I’ve been tutoring various students in there for several years now. This is the view that I catch as I drive by on the original side of the neighborhood. It literally is a short glance that I see if I turn my head [...]

Day 47: Hope springs eternal
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged apartment, bugs, pumpkin eater on January 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Well, after being told Friday the bug was coming, then told he wasn’t but that he was coming Saturday. But after waiting around for an hour, called the office and was told they weren’t coming. Then calling Sunday and being told he came Sunday for someone, but no one thought to inform me… then being [...]
Day 46: I can see!

Well, here I am on Sunday evening (thus the rather look!) sporting my new glasses. I ordered them on December 31 (nothing like waiting till the last minute to use my insurance benefits!) and they came in this weekend. I’m still getting used to them, but I really think the defined frames really suit me [...]

Well, here’s the required snow photo! I finally ventured out into the elements on Saturday after staying inside the entire day on Friday! I needed some provisions from Publix, so I had little choice but to get out there. Luckily, there was just a little bit of ice in the parking lot to navigate, however [...]
Day 44: Raid?!

It’s our first (and probably only) snow day off of school. So, there should be some amazing photo of the snow outside here in Georgia, right?? Nope. I walked into my kitchen this morning to make some coffee after a little lie in and what did I find? That section of the counter (toaster, coffee [...]
Day 43: Let it snow!!

So, at long last, the long talked-about snow finally arrived in Georgia! Seems those snow pants yesterday worked! It started around 2:00 this afternoon while we were still at school. Being in a trailer, ahem, portable, allows me to see what’s going on weather-wise pretty easily! The kids were begging to go out and “play” [...]
Day 42: Have passport, will travel!

Woohoo! My new passport arrived today and it’s purty! I was already going to renew it in December since it expired in May. Well, I got a chance to go to Madrid in February, so it became a little more urgent to get the renewal done ASAP. The website was saying 4-6 week standard processing [...]
Day 41: Snow Pants

These are what are called “snow pants.” My sister coined the term many years ago to denote her favorite pajama pants that had snow flakes on them. We decided that they are actually able to conjure snow whenever we wear our designated snow pants! Yes, I know that these have pink snow flakes, but hey. [...]
Day 40: Heating all of space!!!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged apartment, Christmas, cold on January 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Brrr!! We’ve been in one of the longest cold snaps here in Georgia that I can remember. It’s been so miserable- cold, windy, and dry. Even inside my apartment, it seems I just can’t get it warm enough (without jacking the heat up to 80 which doesn’t seem economically wise!) So, I had casually mentioned [...]
Day 39: And just like that, it’s over…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Christmas, tree on January 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Isn’t it so sad?? Here’s my poor little tree post-Christmas. It got really dry after my trip to Virginia, despite having plenty of water, so I decided to go ahead and take it down this weekend instead of waiting till after January 6th. It actually went pretty quickly, especially since I hadn’t put up too [...]
