Hello! I just felt the need to update. So here I am.
Nothing new on the teaching front, I’m going to be subbing at Fairport again this year… if they ever call me. Yes, I realize it is only Monday on the first full week of school, but does that mean I can’t hope for someone to be sick/want a personal day for something? Well, not really HOPE for someone to be sick… but just waiting for the call… it’s kinda nervewracking. Then again, I’m not on the right sleep schedule yet for school to be back in session anyway. As you might be able to tell from the fact that I am typing this at 2:47 am… although WordPress says it’s 1:47, weird… might need to fix that. I’m looking forward to subbing again, despite the few days I had where I wondered why anyone would ever want to do it. It’s really not that bad. Some days can actually be wonderful and it makes me want my own classroom! Oh well, nothing I can do about that right now, none of the school districts in the area are looking for English teachers, so I’m SOL for now on that front.
It has finally set in for me that I am a non-student. People are talking about papers they need to write and classes they need to take and all that sort of craziness. And here I am, no classes to take, no papers to write… it’s pretty surreal. Not entirely sure on whether that is a good or a bad thing right now… I’ll get back to you. Perhaps around the time when people have been procrastinating all semester and all of a sudden have 12 papers to write or whatever… then I will probably be VERY happy about not being a student anymore. 
House News- Joel has been living there for a couple of weeks now. Still no grown-up bed, so I haven’t spent the night there, but he apparently has a rather nosey neighbour lady who knows the pastor at Joel’s church… Soooooo I don’t know if I’ll be spending the night there before the wedding at all. :-/ She was having a conversation with Joel and his dad and was like “I’ve noticed a young woman come over sometimes at night, but she never spends the night.” Kinda creepy, but she’s 70 and can’t get around very well… come to think of it, I don’t think she has a car, so I guess she has to get her kicks somewhere.
We’ve pulled the plaster, drywall, etc off the walls in the living and dining rooms, the front hall is next. So we’ll be re-drywalling AND painting in there; painting every other room in the house, redoing the full bath AND half bath and a bajillion other things that need to be done. The ones I’ve listed specifically are the main ones that need to be done before the house will really be livable. So, the stuff that needs to get done before the wedding, but that’s 8 months away, so that’s a good amount of time to get things done.
8 months to go before the WEDDING!! Which is at once wonderful and kinda scary. Not scary in a not wanting to get married kind of way, but scary in a “OMG We have a LOT to plan before the wedding” sort of way. But also at the same time, we’re kind of in a weird state of limbo. The major wedding planning things are done- Locations, Photographer, Dress, Bridesmaid Dresses, etc are planned… and there are a few other things we need to plan ASAP, but other things can wait like favours, etc etc etc.
I ordered the save the dates and once we make sure we have all the addresses and whatnot, we’ll probably be sending those out sometime before the end of September.
Anyway, there is probably more that I could babble about, but I’m actually feeling tired AND not coughing at the same time, I need to jump on the opportunity to get some sleep. G’night.
