What is it about the last week of school? The month of June – well, and April and May – flew by, but now this last week is taking an age to get through. It doesn’t help that I feel like I’m in a constant time warp, what with today being a PD day, and […]

Nicole’s Favourite Things: The “It’s My Birthday Month!” Edition
How was your weekend? Mine was filled with birthday festivities, not all of them mine.

Would I be berated by the long-suffering office receptionist for missing my appointment? Would I actually see the doctor? Well, all was […]
