A good mail day!

Today was a great mail day! Peter got me several magazine subscriptions for Christmas, and I've been waiting for my Lucky to show up. Both the January and February issues came in the mail today. My Edutopia teaching magazine showed up as well as my tax forms for my doctorate program and from my school district so I can finally file my taxes! Ooohoo! Man do I hope I get some decent money back this year.

Tonight is my first night teaching straight through without being able to have dinner with Peter. I did manage to do a half hour at the gym before lifting weights with my trainer for another half hour. Peter's verdict on tonight's roast crock pot dinner was "tasted good", "potatoes could have been cut into smaller pieces to cook a little better", "needed some salt/pepper/some flavoring", "too much broth left over when it got time to make the gravy", and "i wished for some sort of sauerkraut in it". Over all I guess that's not too bad of a review for the first crock pot meal.

I'm still at work right now and it's 9:25 PM. Ugh. I'd forgotten how long it takes beginning students to master some of the basic tasks with computers. I had anticipated it only taking them an hour to take a pretest and training session on some Microsoft Word basics, but as I write this, I still have one student plugging along 2 hours later. I don't want to rush them, but I sure wish I was home right now. I guess I got spoiled by last semester when I was able to leave earlier because I only had one student.

Yea! It looks like she is on the last one. Phew time to pack up and go home.
