New Growth!!!

 Kyle and I planted some stuff over the weekend.

And this morning... there are BABIES!

Teeny, tiny little black eyed peas!

I'm excited to see them.

Not exactly sure what to DO with them... lol.

We've never done shelling peas / beans before...

but this has been a learning experience from word go.

Kyle's roses are looking beautiful!

They are happy after being transplanted and

SEVERELY pruned...

Lots of gorgeous flowers!

Yesterday morning we had a visitor!

He's a BIG ol' hawk!

I chased him away before I let the dogs out...

He's big enough to carry Roxie off.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are crazy days.

Up, feed everybody, eat breakfast, get cleaned up

and head to the Town to work until ... usually 4-ish,

but yesterday I had stuff to do at home so I left at 3.

(I'm supposed to work 10-3 but often stay late...)

Anyhow, as soon as I got home I hopped onto my

laptop in the ZoomRoom and created some new slides

for my evening class since we are now teaching a 

few VERY limited actual LIVE (face-to-face) classes

and we aren't getting many people signing up.

I wanted to "talk it up" in my Zoom.

Which meant new slides.

Plus our online course changed the way you need

to sign up and since that's what my Zoom is all

about, I had to do screen shots and create new slides

for all of those as well.

It took about an hour.

Then I created a quick Zoom webinar for me and 

my boss so I could go over the changes with him and

make sure he approved (or wanted to make changes),

started the zoom, stuck it in my ear and my phone in

my pocket and dashed out to feed the animals.

He didn't join until I was back in the house...

so we hurried and went over them together,

finishing just before my class at 6.

No students.

Read my book for a few minutes and then remembered

I hadn't done the admin stuff for my Monday night class

(I had 29 students and it doesn't end until 10!)

I got all that finished - was nearly done at 6:50 when I

saw a student FINALLY join my Zoom.

He said "I'm here for the 7:00 class, I hope I'm not

too early...)

Well duh.

My Review classes are from 6-10.

My Tuesday and Thursday Orientations are from 7-9.

Sheesh.

That's kind of how the whole day went!

But at least I didn't start LATE thinking my 6 started at 7!

Starting next week I'm ONLY teaching 

7-9 on Tuesday and Thursday

and 

6-10 on Saturday.

Well... until the last week of October 

when I am covering for another instructor.

Monday - 6-10

Tuesday - 7-9

Wednesday - 6-10

Thursday - 7-9

Friday - 6-10

Saturday - 6-10

Plus work at the town on Tues & Thurs.

Plus keep the animals (and people) fed and... well, alive.

Hahahaha.

But I have a couple weeks to rest up for it.

Rod stopped on his way home from his 2nd job and

picked up some Chick Fil A for us...

and we sat on the couch and watched the debate.

Sheesh.
