End of September

It's the last week of September, and I'm realizing that I haven't been able to complete my goal of 20 working days at York—I've only managed 7. Jesus! I was so exhausted today after supplying in Newmarket. I miss my beautiful new home so much. Yesterday, I was in Brampton, doing library duty, just sitting there scanning books like a cashier at Walmart. It took me an hour to drive 29 km... it felt endless.

On the bright side, I recently received an assignment as a supply resource teacher for two weeks, working from 10 AM to 4 PM. What a blessing! I can still drive Dudu to work and pick him up. Thank you, Jesus! I just pray that the Lord gives me the strength to drive back home after work and blesses me with the energy to prepare all the food for tomorrow's party. I'm a little nervous since I have so much left to finish.

Last week, I was so happy to find the cutest plush cushions for just $2.99 each—what a steal! I bought six of them. Honestly, I feel like adding this to my résumé as a major life achievement, hahaha! I've been looking online for cushions, and the cheapest ones I could find were $17 each. And to top it off, I was able to host dinner for my girlfriends, which made me so happy.

I'm looking forward to many more joyful dinners with Dudu and our friends around our cozy, lovely dining table. Life has its challenges, but moments like these remind me of the blessings.
