Day 4 of 365. Around these parts you can guess the weather forecast when you go to the grocery store.

Day 3 of 365. Alas, today my long winter break came to an end and I went back to work. It was much easier than I thought it would be to get going as soon as I woke up, and I even looked forward to getting back in the swing of things. We got started this morning with a visit from our Instructional Coach. I am not required to attend these meetings, but I do like to be there so I can better support my teachers. Here is a quick snapshot of the morning.

Day 2 of (hopefully) 365. Since January 1 fell on a Sunday this year, that means the school system recognizes Jan. 2 as the holiday, so no work for me today. We woke up this morning to heavy rain, and I slept until 7:45. Unreal! Most of you know I help my aunt and go out to her house several times a week. Today was no exception. She has a bad cold and needed some things from the grocery store. I made the Wal-Mart run, then headed to Salisbury to check on her. I knew she didn't want to let Gypsy the horse out since it was so bad. On the way in, I stopped at the barn to feed her and make sure she had fresh water and hay to last through the day. She was NOT happy that I didn't let her out, but to make it up I gave her plenty of her favorite treats, which she gobbled up.

As it turns out, I have missed taking photos. I can't promise I will keep this up, but for now I'm going to give it the old college try. Going back through past years, this photo a day project turned out to be a pretty cool way to document our every day lives.

So today, Donald and I woke up in Raleigh, packed our things and headed back to Concord after a week long visit. Coming home, I took a detour through Salisbury to buy Aunt Frankie some medicine, then we went to my mother's for the traditional New Year's meal. We are both now relaxing on the sofa, with Jolly Mon between us. Happy New Year!

I have a newfound admiration for Dollar General. I'm not sure what brought this on, but I bought some cookies there recently that we're Girl Scout knock offs and they were pretty close to the real thing. I went back today to get more and they were sold out. So instead I bought these. I liked that it says 100% of the proceeds go to their literacy foundation. And the cookies themselves? They are delicious!

Who doesn't love a little cheese with their lunch?

One of the best parts of my job is every Friday we all go out to lunch as a team. Today, when we got back we found out the network was down. After checking everything we knew to check, we found the culprit. We had a bug in our system. Literally.
