it's not you, it's me.

I just have so very little that I feel is worth sharing going on right now.

There are 3 weeks left of supply work available to me. This will leave me with a total of, let's say...200 hours worked, at best. Not enough for EI, which leaves me for a couple of months with zero income. Should be interesting. I'm getting a decent amount of work, 2-3 days per week, which would be plenty under normal circumstances, and worst case, if I'm still supplying come fall, will give me enough for EI next summer. Great plans, I'm so proud. Not that we're planning any more babies, for real, any time soon, but everything is on hold until I get a real job. Can't have or plan for more babies, can't upgrade the car, can't move closer to the city, or anywhere really, for that matter. I am planning for sure to redo my French proficiency, but I'm really nervous that I'll do it and my level won't improve, and then that'll be a door that's closed to me for sure, instead of like now, where I can tell myself that well, I'll just get my proficiency up, then I can get a job teaching core or immersion. We shall see, I'll keep you posted.

Wedding stuff is going swimmingly, the dress is in but I have yet to book a fitting appointment. The invitations are in, and I'm just waiting on a few addresses to get those sent out. I even made up an insert with reception and hotel info on it. Pretty sharp, I am. We've booked the caterers, and are working on the tent.

Baby / toddler stuff...I suppose he's officially a toddler now since he, like, toddles. Walks all over the place, looking like he's been into the sauce. Also, speaking of sauce, the babe is a huge fan of ketchup. He'll eat a fry, or a piece of chicken, or whatever, but mainly he'll use it as a vessel to get the ketchup into his mouth. He eventually forgoes the food entirely and just scoops the sauce into his mouth. And hair. And everywhere else he can reach. Pictures to be posted soon on his site.

I planted a legitimate garden, with veggies and herbs. It's been raining for 3 straight days since it was planted, which is good for it, but boring for the rest of the living things. Also, the rain runs off the roof and makes a bit of a trench right in the middle of it, which is unfortunate, but what can you do? Eavestroughing to come later this summer. I also planted a hydrangea bush near the front door, which isn't actually on the front of the house, but it's the main door, so I call it the front. It will have blue flowers, and be lovely. Maybe it'll bloom for the wedding! Another couple of small planters that weren't really planters, that we found in the shed during the cleaning it out, disassembling it, moving it, and reassembling it adventure, now have begonias and impatients in them. One planter is a really old pot with a handle, and another is a white enamel basin. I need to punch some holes in the bottom of the basin one, since it's doing a fantastic job of its original duty, which is holding water. Good for lots of things, not so much for flowers.

That's about it, I have to go get clean and stuff, put together a compost bin, and maybe brave the rain to punch holes. Probably not in that order.
