(no subject)
Spent the day running mindless errands that have been put off for the past three weeks. Got the oil in the car changed. It got a clean bill of health (it never does) which amuses me since every time I go, I get a list of things to be fixed, but the list never duplicates and I never get it fixed. Most of the time the list contains ridiculous items (like engine shampoo, etc.), with the odd "oil pan leaking" thrown in for good measure. The machine does not have healing capabilities. Stopped at the dollar store for a few kitchen supplies and a new shower curtain. Cleaned the apartment. Next on the list is to do D's taxes so I can mail mine in.
Next up this week is driving to London for my future mother-in-law's birthday on Thursday. Then on the weekend, we're going to visit my parents, and do some more errands for the wedding. My bridesmaids dresses came in this week too which is nice, I hope that I'll be able to take one home so that my mom can see it on my maid of honour. D's big job is to find a DJ on Saturday with my father. Should prove to be interesting.
I guess the only pisser was seeing how much tax was taken out of my payment for the curriculum development. When I signed the contract with Fanshawe College, I had neglected to think about that (not that it would have changed the amount), but it was slightly disappointing to fall short of what you were expecting. Still, the extra money is nice, and hopefully will help out this summer.
Then after that will come packing to head up to the cottage. I'm both excited and sad, and scared at the same time. Its going to be really hard to be apart. (I'm a suck, I know.) I'm excited at the prospect of working in private practice again (its been a long time) and to learn what practice is really like. I hope I'll learn a lot; I fear that I've been jaded by the ideals of the "ivory tower". They were excited to learn more about anesthesia though, I just hope I can live up to that. Really, I just hope that I don't look like an idiot!
Its been nice though, being able to relax at night and not feel guilty about it. Looking forward to a few more days of mindless relaxation.
