Back in Canada

Home in Canada!! I arrived back for the summer last week ready for a good long break.

Teaching at my school in Morelia is interesting and enjoyable, however, the amount of testing, marking and paperwork the last week of the semester can be overwhelming. You need to be very organized and I thought I was this time. Then my crazy landlord aka the little Napolean  told me that I since I wasn't coming back I had to move out ....today!  He told me this at 10 am and I had 12 hours to find a temporary place to live for a week, pack, do 3 classes and get moved. Obviously I got no schoolwork done that day.

In a way he did me a favor as I was then packed up and ready to go and didn't have to spend my last days in Mexico packing. I  and The Kitten moved into a small hotel nearby, Posada de Villa. It was great....huge bathroom, cable TV and just as close to my school. No room to clean, no dishes to wash and got take out of all my favourites: flautas vegetariano, gazpacho marisco, torta con mole.

Arriving back in Canada I have lots to do. My garden needs attention both front and back and I'm getting the guest room ready for a student from Korea who is coming to take an ESL course at Algoma University for a month. Here's a current photo of my front yard  with a giant Canada thistle growing up the front wall.
