Has my life been going too smoothly?
Teaching:
My day with the children went fine. We wrote about the Christmas concert, glued all our art work into the scrapbooks and cleaned our desks. We then got rewarded by watching a Santa Claus movie.
Unfortunately while my students were doing so well I got an email from my strata saying my truck would be towed and I owe $200. This type of thing always stresses me out! It seems having a truck and trailer in a long spot is fine, but having a truck and car is not, someone complained. I called and of course strata manager is on holidays, so I texted my mom. She told my dad to deal with it and my uncle and cousin are coming this morning. Ugh it was still enough to wreck my day yesterday though:(
Eating:
I left school quickly ( just like all the memes going around show) and met up with my co- teacher. We went to Edible Canada and I had fish and chips and vegan crane brûlée. 
I really wanted to order more crane brûlée but I managed to resist:) I also tried truffle salt for the first time and it was really good!
Theatre:
We went to see Miss Bennett’s Christmas at Pemberley and it was wonderful! The actors were great! I had never thought about it before but my friend pointed out there are some similarities between Mary Bennett and myself- reader, blunt, etc. I had to laugh:). If you’re a fan of Pride and Prejudice, you would enjoy this spinoff:)
I got home super late and now have to get up and going on dessert for tonight!
Have fun!

What is a strata?
Strata is the home ownership of an apartment building as there are shared areas
Good luck.
Boo hiss about the truck, hope you were able to get it sorted!
My uncle and cousin rearranged stuff so only the truck that’s always been there is there. Hopefully that will make them happy
I love truffle salt. It is addictive.
Yes it is!!!
SOrry about the Truck! love how your mom quickly turfed it to your dad and uncle!
Yes my mom is officially my hero in this one!
My friend retired from teaching two years ago and she still posts those memes on Facebook about “the teachers be like …” and showing them bolting for the door on the last day of school. 🙂
Lol yup that was all of us!
Thanks for all you do for the kids! Have a great holiday
Oh thank you!
Sorry about the parking situation – that always stinks! Sounds like the rest of the day was nice, though!
Yes except for strata, life has been going along well
We have a HOA (home owner’s association) where we live, and they do kind of similar things. Bleah!
Ugh yup you know the pain then! If someone doesn’t have enough to do other than going around and finding inconsequential things then they can come volunteer in my classroom!
There are petty people everywhere. I’m sorry one stepped on your toes. Like you said, it can ruin a perfectly good day. I hope that is the only snafu in your Christmas holiday.
For the record, will you have a Merry or a Happy Christmas? I’ll just send you Joyful wishes.
Lol I’ve never thought of whether I will have a merry Christmas or a happy Christmas- hopefully both!
Our friends in the US always say Merry Christmas. Neighbors in England said Happy Christmas. I like your response — that you hope for both.
Merry, Happy, and Blessed Christmas to you!
Oh cool! I learned something new so thank you:)
Merry and happy Christmas to you as well!
So frustrating. what if you were married and had two vehicles?
glad your day at school went well at least
Yup it is so dumb! Especially that it’s become a problem after ten years!!!🙄
I hope your last day with your students went well too!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you as well!
AH what a bummer about the truck- I am so sorry!!! That fish n’ chips looks great though. I haven’t had those in forever, and after this I have a craving. Happy thursday, AJ!
Oh I love fish and chips and now have two places I can get them gf and df so I never miss the opportunity
