Summer doesn't really start with the May long weekend, nor does it really start at the summer solstice, it begins as soon as the kids pick up their report cards and the community pool starts it's summer hours.  We're almost there ( Read more... )

I knew things would begin to shift this week; they had to!

I submitted my mid-term exam on Monday and received my mark today.  I was actually quite hesitant to open the attachment, afraid to see my grade and her comments - I actually closed one eye as I opened it!  LOL!  I had no need to be afraid; I got an excellent grade and she had some  ( Read more... )

I was in Winnipeg for the Pathways/UCN orientation one year ago today.

It's been about 13 months since I finished the academic requirements for my midwifery education program, and since I was accepted into the UCN/Pathways pilot project.

Even more depressing is that it's been a year and eight months since I last caught a baby or did any clinical ( Read more... )

I finished and submitted my Ethics in Research paper for my Research class.  My instructor sent me my grade today and I got 94%.  I'm happy with that, and even happier that it's one more assignment DONE!

It was really slow at work yesterday, lots of 'make work' kind of work.  I have eight shift left, maybe six if I can get the schedule changed around.  Kim came home from school yesterday afternoon and dropped an invite in my lap for senior students and their parents to visit a nearby university for a tour and information.  My boss made up the new ( Read more... )

It's my turn to carry this quasi-flu bug around.  I slept this afternoon, with Charlotte tucked into my bed beside me.  Toast and tea for supper, lots of water - feeling slightly better tonight.  Hopefully a good night's sleep will put an end to this.

Kim is working for me tomorrow morning, even though she worked until 11 o'clock tonight.  My plans ( Read more... )

Charlotte and Julia have both been feeling "off" these past few days.  Nausea, but no vomiting.  Gas, but no diarrhea.  Sleeping more than usual.

I managed to get a couple of hours of school work in this morning, then had to do some errands.  Charlotte was not interested in eating lunch when we got home and was miserable so I cuddled her in the ( Read more... )

I'm so glad that I'm done work for a few days!  My feet are grateful, too ( Read more... )

Statistics and Research.  I knew it would be kind of tough and dry, a brain cramp to try and understand the methods, the technical jargon etc ( Read more... )
