Well I'm enjoying a mostly beautiful weekend at home. The weather keeps changing every few minutes from cloud and rain to sun and warmth. Prairie weather. Ah well - the rain mostly held off while I was outside and came when I was in stores.
I enjoy getting time to just chill out (even though I know I should be working...). No calls for an interview yet, but I'm still praying.
Well I just sent in a few applications to teach around my hometown. My hands are clasped and I am desperately hoping to hear from these guys. I know that if I get called for an interview they will have already called my references and that's a good thing. I'm really excited. If I can get the school I want I'll be able to walk to school and not have to pay rent (or at least not a lot of rent).
Your prayers are needed in this. Thank you.
So today I've encountered a major obstacle in my back up plan: Veritas doesn't like cats. I'm not sure what it is she doesn't like, but she really doesn't like them. I went over to the neighbours' today to check out the baby kittens. One of my students cats' had kittens and then was eaten by a fox so his cousin's girlfriend volunteered to nurse them. They are so adorable. There's a black boy with white paws. The rest are girls: one is white, one is an orange tabby, and the other is calico. They're about 2 1/2 weeks old and so active. I forgot how much I love them when they're so so tiny. They are a lot of work, though. Anyway, I asked to 'borrow' one so that I could see if Veritas would be more accepting of a kitten than the other cats that she's seen and she hissed and growled and even snorted at the tiny white furball. She didn't try to attack it or anything, but she might a lot of noise. Fortunately the kitten didn't sense any harm and was, frankly, just fine with the whole arrangement. Veritas still has a problem with the shirt I was wearing when I let the kittens climb all over me. We're going to have to work on that because I'm definitely getting at least one more cat when I'm able to do so.
Whoops, I haven't posted in 2 weeks. Sorry about that. Did anyone notice?
Lots has happened. My very bestest and dearest friend came out from BC and we went to Phantom of the Opera and Prince Caspian. Both were fabulous. We had a wonderful time and I am reminded how desperately I need a support system. Even though the visit was far too short I am simply glad it happened.
In other news - City of Heroes has released Issue 12!! Lots of exciting features in my favourite MMORPG.
No news on the job front yet. I've been doing lots of applying, but have not heard anything back yet. Hands are clasped in prayer.
We're a week into May now and there's still a lot to do before June. Oh well, can't do everything right the first time around. I'm just hoping to make it to the end of June and hopefully God will have told me what's up for the fall.
Oh yeah. The concert was great. I had forgotten how much I loved to hear David Nasser speak. Since the floor gave way in Abbotsford, they've changed their focus. They feel a greater sense of urgency. It was pretty neat to hear them talk about it and how it's the first time in Canada for the openers (Bethany Dillon and Shane & Shane).
Sadly, I won't be home for Mother's Day. Sorry, Mommy, but I still love you. Gas is super expensive and I was home last weekend and I'll be heading home next weekend with my bestest friend and we're going to see Phantom of the Opera!! Woohoo!! I'm so totally looking forward to that.
A new month. Hopefully this will be a good one. I'm just glad I survived the last one. We now have a new EA at the school to work with my biggest problem every afternoon (which is the only time I have him). I cannot tell you what a huge difference this has made this week. Tomorrow we're even going to try an art project that is a bit more fun - as long as I can find the supplies I need :/
Tomorrow night I'm going home. I'm excited to be able to see Starfield and Bethany Dillon in concert. David Nasser will be speaking there as well. It's too bad about the collapse in Abbotsford. I'm just glad that my cousins are fine. I'll be doing some chillaxing as well. I'm so exhausted I just need some rest. I better do some job app stuff too. Oh dear. Ah well. It is in the Lord's hands.
