Day 34- April 23- Penina Etok

Again I am sitting down at the end of today and wondering HOW I managed as much as I have. I feel like I need a vacation from this "vacation". Mind you, I have been rather into work lately, and in fact one of the teachers will be starting a preventative leave on Monday and if the school board approves it, I might actually replace her to finish off the year. We'll see on Monday what the decision is. As a result of this possibility, I went in for a period of class this morning to get a taste of what the pilot program for Social Studies that Lesley has been doing this term is all about. I will be annoyed if after all of that I am not permitted to fill in, but whatever. Time will tell.


This afternoon I worked on some things at home, baked a cocoa coffee cake and read more of the book I am reading, "The Perks of being a Wallflower". Listened to music, danced around a little bit and finished all the dishes that were making an appalachian chain across my countertops. This evening I went to Maggie and Jean's house, I unfortunately forgot that the meal was happening so I ate before and just went to socialize a little bit. I brought the coffee cake along and even though they all complained of being too full, they seemed to enjoyed it.


This afternoon I dropped by the northern to get ingredients for cinnamon buns and ran into Penina, Monica's mom from Day 4. She is a great lady, always laughing and enjoying herself. She really makes me laugh and I feel good after chatting with her whenever and wherever I see her. She's got a great heart and is very caring towards others. I really like her a lot, so she is my photo of the day! I couldn't decide, which photo to use so I put them all together!
