Hi everyone out there in blogworld! It's ICLW! I honestly don't know how it is already almost the end of November, but I guess it is! Craziness.
For anyone visiting for ICLW, howdy! I'm Rebecca and my IF story is over on the right. Right now we're impatiently waiting for an appointment with a new RE scheduled for December 14th. We've been on treatment hold for about 5 months and it's making me nuts. I want to be doing something that feels like it has a chance of working.
I'm very excited to be in the beginning of a week break from classes for Thanksgiving. My school used to have classes on Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, but the students wouldn't show up. So, they added those two days to the beginning of the semester and we get the whole week! Woohoo! I have so much work to catch up on with grading and exam writing and designing new lab experiments and courses that I am incredibly grateful for the break from students.
I'm also going to try to paint my bathroom this week. We're getting started on some major renovations of our house (more on that another time) but this bathroom is probably the last thing on the list to get to. It's making me nuts, though, because it is drab and dirty looking and gross. So, while it needs more major changes eventually, right now I just need it to look more pleasant! And, paint is easy.
So, there you go -- I've listed all the things I hope to get accomplished this week. I expect you to hold me to them!!
Your motivation makes me feel guilty.....well just a little bit. I am happy to spend time on the couch and relax with family and friends. I hope you get everything you want to accomplish finished but if you don't I completely understand...oops I guess that isn't holding you to it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to get back on the TTC rollercoaster soon!
Hope you enjoy your week off - and enjoy painting! Isn't it amazing how a fresh coat of paint makes everything seem so much better?
ReplyDeleteI can not believe November is almost over as well. I hope you have a great week away from classes... Looking forward to hearing about your appt on the 14th.
ReplyDeleteI am a little jealous of your full week. I get to deal with middle school students for two days before getting my break. We've also been doing some home repairs and it feels good to have something fall into place like it is supposed to! Looking forward to following your story. Good Luck with your RE appt.
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW! How lucky you are to have the whole week off. Enjoy it! And happy painting!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do?? Enjoy your week off!
ReplyDeletedon't worry, december 14th will roll around soon enough...hopefully you won't even need that appointment by then because you will already have a little bean in there.
ReplyDeletehaha, when i read your post it felt like we are so much alike. although i'm not on holidays (they start dec 16th) i have just finished my student's reports and portfolios. i think teacher's are the only ones that really get how much work goes into marking and grading!
and whilst i'm not painting my bathroom - tomorrow is the start of our bathroom renovation!! i'll be living in a dirty, dusty, stuff everywhere house for the next two weeks & having a shower in the rented mobile shower outside! urgh!! so when i read that you're doing some renos too, i just had to laugh! :D
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I hope you have a great week off and I'll keep checking back to hear good news from you soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW! This is my first time participating and it's great! I love the name of your blog - lately I feel like I am constantly trying not to scream. Enjoy your week. I'll check back soon!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week! Time seems to fly at this time of year so December 14 will be here before you know it, though I am sure the wait makes it go by more slowly. Happy ICLW.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the full week off, and Dec 14th will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteHere from ICLW :) Try to keep yourself busy on your week off - sounds like your painting and redecorating is just the trick. Best wishes going forward!
