TGIF- Update Post

Hi!

You may have noticed in my last post, that K and I were both working Friday night.  Well, it's true, I have a new job!  I'm a casual library assistant.  This means I'll be filling in at 4 nearby libraries when someone needs time off. I started with my training on Monday, Jan 12 and then went to work in a library in Alberton (35 min. away) on Tuesday.  The librarian there is taking a 6 month leave of absence.  She trained me for a week and on Monday, Jan 19 I started on my own!  I'll be working there until they hire someone "permanent". So far, I really like it!  The library is open 4 days a week, so I'm continuing with my tutoring at the Elementary School 2 days a week.

I also got trained at the Summerside Library yesterday.  Here's a picture of me with my library badge on.

The Summerside Library has different procedures from the branch libraries so I had to train there for a day. The Alberton Library is a branch library where I work alone but the Summerside Library is bigger and there are always at least 2 people there.  

Since I'm filling in in Alberton "full-time" (there are actually only 21.5 hours that I'm working), I pretty much know my schedule. I work till 5:00 two days a week so I'll be fixing a lot of meals in the slowcooker.  Every other week, K has to take C and her friend to dance so N is doing the cooking on those nights.  I work 2 nights where I'll have to miss dinner so K is doing the cooking on those nights.

K is also busy at work, doing a project upgrading computers, so he had to work Friday night last week, all day Saturday and all day Sunday (hence the pizza 2 nights in a row!).

The kids have started their swimming lessons on Sundays.  I like taking them because it's so warm by the indoor pool.  It's like a little mini-vacation!  Plus the kids have 2 different times for their lessons, C goes first for 30 minutes, then N goes for 50 minutes.  This gives me time to visit one-on-one with each kid while the other is in a lesson.

So, I guess our home projects will be slowing down a bit. After C's room we haven't done anything.  The front room is still waiting, although we did do some drywall work a few weekends ago, so the window wall is all done.

The hidden closet wall has drywall.

See how I placed the 3 "locker" doors against the wall on the left?  And a stray piece of drywall where the bench will go?

The wall to the left of the door is also done, with the switches even put in!

K installed an automatic light sensor so the light comes on automatically when you come in, from the outside or the hallway. After getting it set up the right way, it seems to be working really well. Above the light switches is a timer switch for a heater cord under our front steps.

Ok, I have to get ready for work (!) now!  

Have a wonderful weekend! :-)
