True to the pattern I have been keeping, Tuesday was a pool/work day.
The morning was a bit lazy, I admit and I spent the usual working time before the pool updating my blog, emailing, etc. Sometimes these things must be done!
I enjoyed the pool and realized I am getting a good tan without having burned myself yet, so that is a bonus. Probably doesn’t matter for the eventual skin cancer possibilities, but hey whatever.
After cleaning up, having lunch and settling in to get some work done, I decided to check my online courses to see what postings I needed to do for the week. It became clear to me that one of my courses had Tasks that should have been done last week for the first unit and I had no idea they even existed!!! WTF??? So, I frantically began working. Well, 4 hours later when Allan got home, I was still typing away with a headache and pure frustration at the system of NOT telling me that these assignments existed beforehand. Luckily, I finished shortly thereafter, took a bit of a rest and tried to calm myself. Now, I seem to be ahead of the game and know what I am suppose to do. So, I guess at least I didn’t go the whole course clueless. ;D
Allan’s Showtime TV setup saga continues. It’s a long story, but he still doesn’t have TV connected and it has been a bit of a stressful event with that. After finding out that they still weren’t coming out, we decided we needed to get out of the apartment. So, we went to Carter’s in the Wafi Center for a few drinks and snacks. It was definitely nice to get out, have a few drinks and try to forget about the stresses in our lives.
The pains of settling in to a new apartment, new job and all within a new country takes a toll. It’s a wonder that we continue the jobs that we do, but at the same time, the stress from the new-ness and change is only temporary until other ones take over! So, that was the day.
Wednesday promises to be much more interesting!
Until next time,
