Winter's Comin'!

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
It looks like it is! And my heather on the windowsill doesn't seem to like it at all. Neither do I.

Ironically, it wasn't that bad when I had to make my way through cold and snow after the seven-hours cover... Hm, I definitely like covering - it's a nice chance to get to know how others live and work, what they do and what could help them progress. It's something you'll never learn until you try. It could be a bit gruelling, of course, and I recon a few that were, but thankfully not this time. Yes! this one was trully fantastic, like meeting up with people from another world - hard-working, motivated, unbelievably helpful towards each other and myself.

So, cold and snow are not everything that matters. What gives the feeling of the approaching winter (alas! some could say, it began ages ago!)? How could I not know the answer is always in Word? So, if logically winter is cold and snow, linguistically it might look like the following:

In a way, I might say I came in from the cold and had high expectations but was snowed under with vaguely related stuff. It was cold comfort to be told that's how these fat cats cold fish treat each and every one - in cold blood giving newbies the cold shoulder. Little wonder, I got cold feet when instead of letting you an ear somebody poured cold water you. Admittedly, they are offering something I would have liked to do before but now, in the cold of the day, it really leaves me cold.

Doesn't it feel freezing cold? That is winter, innit?

It always makes me wonder how venerable we are and, more importantly, where to seek the way out. It might be very personal indeed, but isn't now the right season to hibernate? I must have been a hibernating animal in the past as I am constantly on the lookout for my own hibernaculum. I was hoping to find it here, seems no way...

I think I will be moving to paper now. The two paper things I have bought are marvellous, each in its own way and I am still in two minds as how to use them both. And yes, yesterday looked very much like the last straw... so on the move...

and I don't really know till when...

ps. We might be through Christmas already but are still in for the Nativity, for sure we are...

We must begin with thanksgiving for everything. The beginning of joy is to be content with your situation.

Somewhat Off-the-cuff, or In Between

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
It looks like happiness is more about gaining enough self-confidence to perform independently and with full responsibility. For quite a while I have been wondering what makes people believe I am the person they are looking for and only today I think I got it - nothing. It has nothing to do with any particular strength or talent, they simply find it easier to relocate their troubles on me and take a long-awaited break. So what? Why should I care whether they are right or not? If they think I can do it, I will. - I am working on confidence :)

The first thing to begin with will be to start writing. So, (hate this word because of a certain student - should look for synonyms)

Once upon a time ....

off I go :fly:to a new, creative life

What a challenge!

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
I couldn't even remember when I was last talked to like that. :facepalm3:

It reminds me of my ex-in-laws a bit but even they would eventually calm down.

Why doing good and right things will usually inspire evil and cruelty in others? What makes me ponder is, well, life is not a bed of roses in general, then why not hep each other since we are all in the same boat? Would making others suffer help sort out some personal mess?

Will have to try to learn how to deal with it even knowing it'll stay beyond me forever. :bee:

Quitting? Maybe...

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
Surprisingly, it's becoming less and less interesting to post on here and actually not much to read about. Been wondering why and it struck me that probaby because real life is getting more engaging at last. (or, even when it's not, kinda got fed and tired of writing the same depressing stuff.) It feels like growing up or something, only growing up was done ages ago. Will probaby keep the page for a while and then time will tell. Frankly speaking, woudn't mind quitting it all, just might need some time to get used to being free. Completely free, indeed.

Tired ))

Spent the last couple days surfing the net trying to figure out what we actually need and, more importantly, what quality we can afford. I'd like Gustavesberg best (don't asky me why) and probably Twyford. Will be searching for their showrooms next.

Sort of relaxed, but tired indeed.

Mega-happiness))

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
Frankly speaking, I should have stayed at home today. High temperature and a running nose sprang little surprise as this time in September is consistently my changerover point - I'll be desperately ill till May. Have no idea why so, just got used to it and that's it. Ironically, the only two ways to get over it would be either working 24/7 or travelling :D This year will most likely mean burning the candle at both ends, wouldn't mind it tho :bee:

It might have been originally designed to console and comfort my weary mind and I truly am mega-happy today. It looks like the super-duper method of handling ADHD students, both YL and teens, has eventually been worked out. :slonik:

Only, what could I bring next time - the piano? :thnk:

Summing up - it does pay to spend more time on myself and the household than just work :D





And, no wonder he - 'one who came to love suffering' - would love martyrdom, it's becoming so clear now.:candle2:

Glorious September

Of all months, I love September best - it hosts so many holidays! The glorious list will open three birthdays, the second of which ended up with a manslaughter, the third starts a new year, to say the very least, and the first is also very dear to me:shy:. So, happy new year :slonik:


to be continued, fingers crossed :candle2:

Right.
It wasn't even discomforting to see your profession taken up by mere adventurers churned out worldwide on a monthly basis.
It wasn't in the least annoying to be looked down by job interviewers as well as those hapless voyagers solely because you are a wrong passport holder.
It feels somewhat natural to be sold out as one of those, funnily enough, being chosen due to working skills.
It somehow doesn't, to be given the weakest group on grounds that I'll make it anyway while one of those won't.
If anyone can explain it to me, I would definitely handle my stress with a smile.

Not to forget....

Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
Well, the new year has finally started, with lots of questions, extremely long to-do lists and so familiar sleepless nights. I can't stop asking myself why we can't live easier, less tense. Why do I need to spend the whole week in a rush with the only desire to sleep by the weekend? Isn't it where hatred begins? Yes, today it struck me that when I got irritated at somebody in the underground I began to hate myself. Could there be any way out?

I wanna go where I belong :wolf:

Playing the Tin Whistle

Couldn't even imagine how wonderful it could be to produce recognisable tunes!

The only problem is the fingers. Have to take a break every ten minutes or so for them not to get irrevocably fossilised.

And, yes, the holes happened to be too big. Will try with gloves next time.

Admittedly, for the last month or so Irish Gaelic and the music have been holding me enthralled.

Shining :)

I was told I was shining [like a bright new pin:)] I said I am but don't know why.

I lied, I know :cow:

It's sweepingly fantastic.

I wish I would never lose it - the feeling of being home and at ease and something else I have no words for yet.

duly beaming without being overjoyed :snezh:

It's so strange to be back home and somewhat weird to be back to school again. Will there ever be holiday time for myself? :shy:

HB, btw. :cow:

Packin'

I love packing, it's awesome not to have time or effort to spare on vain dreaming only because a huge bulk of extremely urgent things require your immediate attention, things that will make your dream virtually come true.... mmmmm........ fantastic time.... uhgm.. and nothing is spoilt yet :shy:

The latest challenge was to compose the appropriate wardrobe, hmhmhm

Hm, it still is :thnk:
