Upon reviewing the progress and plan for the backyard, Mark realised he ordered too many bricks. He adjusted the order today and we were refunded $500. Awesome - money to go towards turf. This weekend, Mark and his Dad will finish concreting the base. The aggregate for drains and fill arrives next weekend, and come Easter, we will have bricks and a long weekend for Mark to errect the wall! :)

I had a "best friend" in high school. At the end of school, for reasons unclear to me, she went a bit mental and a lot abusive and our friendship ended in the worst possible way. There was much hatred from her towards me, and much naieve confusion as to why, on my part. For me, it was unexpected and very hurtful. ( that was fourteen years ago, skip to now...)

Yesterday, Head of Secondary offered to do my playground duty for me. It was great. I actually got a lunchbreak. Today, he released me from chapel because he was showing the short film, Most, and I've seen it before and find it traumatic and upsetting. So, I got to go to the staff room and do work instead of chapel and I was very grateful.
This afternoon he suggested that he continue to do my Tuesday lunchduty as one of his regular duties, AND, that if it would help me get through all my work before maternity leave, I can be released from chapel each week too! I was shocked. This stuff never happens and participation at chapel is expected - mandatory, actually - no exception (till now).
I am liking the feel of this. It may just ease some of the stress I've been feeling.
