slightly disturbing self discovery and some good things
I woke up this morning in time to go for a walk before going in to work. I am helping with the Middle School play as set design leader. I am working with a small group of lovely kids. The play was written by one of our teachers and is called Abdullah and the Wolf. Abdullah, a Kuwaiti boy, sets off to kill a wolf to prove to his older brothers that he is tough. On his way, he encounters Little Red Riding Hood and Peter who are also looking to kill the wolf. THey encounter a variety of characters- Ali Baba, a Jedi Knight, Three Little Pigs, Three Musketeers and others. It's a fun piece.
As for my slightly disturbing self discovery, as I was getting dressed, I realized I have become high maintenance. I changed several times, even though it's a weekend and it doesn't matter, I wished I had bought a pair of shoes I saw a few weeks ago, and fussed over the placement of the clip in my hair. Have I become superficial? Not really, but certainly higher maintenance in this and other aspects. Oh well.
Good things:
Greta and David, along with friends and family, welcomed Julia Maude Pauline Yakimoski into the world this week. So cute and small.
My friends returned Season 4 of Corner Gas to me.
I had some colleagues over for nachos and drinks after the ES concert the other day. It was really nice.
I went to my walking partner's place for pancakes yesterday morning. We cancelled walking due to a sandstorm.
I subbed during all my prep periods last week and though it nearly drove me insane, I taught 20 out of 20 classes (usually it's 15/20) and made and extra 50KD, which is pretty good.
I've been practicing tai chi, qigong and yoga regularly with my friend Sandi. It's great!
I get to go to the Arts Festival this Thursday. Hurray for great colleagues, great music and good social times. Cannot wait.
Three of my girlfriends and I are going to Kerala (India) for 5 days in February. Cannot wait for the beach and some cheap shopping. The funny part is each of the girls are my friends but they are not friends with eachother. It will be nice.
I got some clothes made and some altered at the tailor. It was inexpensive and looks great. I cannot wait ot wear my brown suit on Thursday when we travel.
And that's about all for now. Life is good. Busy as always.
