November 12 - oops

It was going to be a busy day anyways but I had it timed exquisitely. 

Haircut - 11am - 11:50
Opening Session at School - 12 noon - 1pm
Eat lunch in car as I drive
Group at Hope Centre - 1:15 - 2:15
Swim 2:30

Then I would have the evening to relax and do a little more prep for my teaching which was to start Wednesday morning. 

When I walked into the noon meeting my dear friend said "Aren't you teaching tonight?" 

"I don't think so", I said sort of confidently.

The Executive Director was beside us and showed me the schedule.  Yup, I was to teach at 5:20 until 6:45. 

What? 

How had I messed that up. 

I still went for my swim, and I went over my lecture notes in my head while I did all my water exercises. 

Then home by 3:30 for a snack, gather up all my teaching supplies and loaded into the car by 4:30.

My dh drove me down and help unload everything to save my poor hip and back. 

I organized my notes, and rearranged the room a bit so all the students would have access to the blackboard

At 5:10 all was ready and the students started to drift in.  Two students were attending the class via the computer and nine others were sitting in front of me ready at 5:20.

It went well. 

After the class I put up the board work needed for my 8am class and then my dh picked me up and now I am home and just finished a yummy beef stew that himself made for dinner. 

So, ya, today had a bit of an oops, but it all worked out in the end. 

The cat is snuggled beside me, and I have a heel to turn on my latest knitting project. 

I am going to enjoy knitflixing for the next couple of hours, and then I have an article to re-read before my lecture tomorrow. 

The week of teaching started ten hours earlier than I thought it would, but I am ready so here goes.
