Vacay Day 6 in AD
Why do the days have to go so quickly?? Today is my first full day off – I’m heading out for a hair appointment, meeting up with a friend whom I haven’t seen in … a while … for lunch and a film, then I might come home for a rest before going to the…

Vacay Day 5 in AD
It’s been a quiet day today, which is good. I went to bed early last night and got a full eight hours of sleep, which still had me up at 6.30 this morning. 😉 Since my headache was gone, I attempted to try running outside this morning, but the neighborhood is not exactly conducive for…

Vacay Day 4 in AD
One night with not enough sleep and then having to wake up earlier than desired today has led to a tired Tara. Also, I’m wondering if the cloudy weather has triggered my migraine today or if it’s from being tired or a series of sources. In any case, it’s not very convenient for vacay! 🙁…

‘It’s so hard to find good help, these days…’
Although I should not complain about getting good help when the Western world sees it as a luxury, in this part of the world, it’s a way of life. With both of us studying and working full-time, one area that gets lost is a regular and thorough cleaning. Since most people hire housekeepers/nannies/maids, who are…

Vacay Day 3 in AD

Vacay Day 2 in AD
This is just a small view of the things I have planned to get through this week. 😀 I managed to accomplish in small doses everything on my list yesterday, though not necessarily as much as I had hoped for one day. Still, it is holiday and as long as I get bits done each…

Vacay Day 1 in AD
It dawned on me this morning that this is perhaps the first time in three years that I have stayed put during a holiday. It’s a little weird. Also, I haven’t been on my own for a while, so I have to admit that I’m quite a bit excited about the week. 🙂 After dropping…

Zoo Drama
While I am trying to recover from midterm hell, we got some more fantastic news today at work. Our vacation went from being a week long to just two workdays. WTF? Normally, I would just roll with the punches, but after the last two days and with more marking coming up tomorrow due to the…

Midterm HELL!
Okay, seriously, I thought it was bad when we had to double-mark 25 essays at the end of term. When I decided to do this new semester course, I figured that it would be an okay trade-off to have to teach instead of all the marking…. Then, mid-term exams were formulated – okay, I can…
