Subbing

I had my first day of substitute teaching work on Friday, and I was a PE teacher at an elementary school! It was pretty fun. Basically I got to tell kids to play games all day. I really wanted to join in on the scooter races, but realized I was being paid to be the supervising adult, sadly.

I also have several assignments over the next two weeks, however most of them are half days. But it's so much better than having no income! Yay! And I get to sub for my old German teacher (not that he's old, but old as in he used to be my German teacher in high school), so that will be cool.

Man it's nice to be employed! : )

Small update

I thought I'd update since it's been awhile. Not too much to report here. I am STILL looking for a job, it's never been so hard to find one before! But I'm ready and willing to work, so bring on the job!

My eye is still the same. +2.25. Sigh. Vision is an issue, but I'm hoping that in a few months things will get better.

Dad and I are throwing a joint birthday party on Oct. 11th. Just a casual backyard get together.

Dad and I are also stepping it up with the workouts. I'm trying to do two cardios a day and weight train six times a week. He's building muscle faster than I am, but I suppose that's to be expected.

Megan's next marathon is just a few weeks away and I'm excited for her. She's trying to qualify for Boston and I know she'll do great. Go Megan!

That's about it for news for now, but when something exciting happens, I'll post it.

Hope you all are well and enjoying the return to better weather! Yay sun!

Visiting Megan

This weekend I visited Megan in Dublin and got to see her and the family and friends. We also went to the beach at Half Moon Bay, went to Berkeley, went to the top of Mount Diablo, cooked all sorts of interesting things, and just had an overall fabulous time!





I like the reflection in my sunglasses at the beach.

First day with Mom.




Family dinner in Livermore.

So the pics are out of order but it was too much effort to rearrange.

Of course it was an absolutely wonderful trip and it was so great to see Megan! Like Christmas came early. And thanks to Dad for letting me use his frequent flier miles to pay for the ticket!

Now it's back to Uni work, finding a job (asap!) and hopefully some salsa dancing in the near future.

Miss you Megan! : )
