Makeup, Half-day Jobs, Deafness, Sad Hours
There have been over 8600 hits on the Prairie Dog Blog! I checked everybody's blogs and only Gary and Chelsea have any recent blogs. Whatsa matter da resta you?
Chelsea writes a good entry. Her story about the little girl who tried the tester makeup on her face was great. I can't wait to go to Victoria and visit with her and everyone there. Maybe you can show me the great spot at the harbour, Chelsea.
Good to see that Gary and Carolyn are enjoying their Arizona days.
I subbed in a grade three class yesterday. It was a class I've been in many times before and it was pretty uneventful. That's probably a good thing. Tomorrow I'll be in a grade seven class, different kettle of fish altogether. I've been there before, too, but they are very chatty and easily distracted and often off-task. It'll be eventful. The good thing about working half-day jobs is I can stand any class for half a day. Oh, well, the jobs can't all be good.
Today I went to see The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was wonderful. It was so relaxing to just lose myself in another world. Almost as good as reading the book. Then I picked up some groceries for Mother and headed over there. This afternoon she went to a "grieving group" that is being held by a social worker at Lion's Manor. There were only three of them, Mother said, and the other two are deaf! This comment from a woman whose phone you can hold at arm's length and it's still too loud. But I think it will be good for her to talk to others who are grieving.
My DVD player went on the fritz, so I took it into the video place. They said it would probably cost $250-300 to fix and I'd be better off buying a new one, so I took myself off to Costco and got a Panasonic for $89 plus tax. I actually got it hooked up and working and I watched that old movie, Funny Face with Fred Astaire and my favourite, Audrey Hepburn. He was too old to play the romantic lead, especially with a youngster like Audrey, but I enjoyed it anyway. My favourite of her movies is Breakfast at Tiffany's. I remember seeing it when it first came out at the impressionable age of about 12. Those were the days!
Mother and I agreed that the last three months have seemed like a lifetime. As Shakespeare's Juliet says, " Sad hours seem long."
Well, it's good night from me and it's good night from Suzie.
