Speaking of Kindergarten, I did not get the K and Gr 12 position that I interviewed for last week, as I did not have enough high school experience. This was not at all shocking to me, as I have only ever taught in an elementary setting. The superintendent, however, was very kind on the phone, and said that I'd interviewed extremely well and if the position had only been elementary, then it would have been mine! Then he proceeded to tell me that there will be some new elementary postings coming up soon and suggested that I apply for those jobs. With any luck (and perhaps some skill) I might get a position in the New Year.
In any case, I am going to Borden, SK to teach a K/1 class next week and am looking forward to it. Perhaps we can make some salt dough ornaments together!
James was on call for General Surgery, Friday night and only slept one hour. They were busy all day, then went in to the O.R. in the early evening for an urgent case and didn't finish until close to midnight. This meant, however, that everything else had been piling up while they were in the O.R. and so James had to deal with that before he could rest his weary head. He came home Saturday morning and went straight to bed, not emerging until the late afternoon.
Last night (Saturday) we went over to our friends' (new!) house for a Chinese Hot Pot dinner. It's like a broth fondue, so you dip your meat, tofu, wontons, vegetables, and noodles into a simmering pot of broth and scoop it out with a neat metal net when it's finished. Then you eat it, yum! We had a great time inside with the delicious hot pot and good friends, while it stormed and raged outside. It felt delightfully cozy. At least until we had to venture back out into the night and brush the snow off of the car. (Only joking, the snow had stopped by then and it looked like a bit of a winter wonderland, with lights twinkling all over the neighbourhood and the snow sparkling under the lights.)
Hard to believe that 3 months ago the Splash Park was in full swing! |

All in all, everything is well here. We are well exercised and well fed. The cars continue to start and grip well on the snow. The library is just a short walk away, NETFLIX and HGTV are available for watching, and I've got a good supply of popcorn and hot chocolate. Talk to you all soon!
Love, S + J and J + S
