The final marks are in…
After four long, grueling months of readings, assignments, stress and work, my course (Communications: Autism) is finished and I just received my final marks and feedback. I found this email in my inbox 5 minutes ago: Shop Girl, Thank you so much for your consistent hard work in the course. It has been a pleasure to have you as a part of our learning community – I myself have learned so much from your postings and insights on the discussion board. It is clear that you are a dedicated, talented professional and your students are very lucky to have you! You have achieved an Honours level for this course. I…

Date Days*
The Hubster and I spent a lovely, albeit busy day together. Actually, our adventures started last night. As our moving date gets closer and closer (Two weeks! Two weeks!) our “date nights / days” have changed a little bit. Instead of going out for dinner, we find ourselves in Canadian Tire and Home Depot, dreaming about all the projects we hope to take on in our new home. A deck! A dishwasher! A garden! A finished basement! New windows! …just to name a few. We know that many of these projects will be years in the making, but it’s lovely to dream about how it will all look when everything…
