Hi, folks. Just thought I'd keep you posted on my current situation, should you be wondering where my usual monthly sets of garden flag recolours have gone or why I haven't completed your request or why I may have read your PM but not yet responded, etc. etc. etc.

In short, I've returned to work. Some of you may know that I'm a teacher; an elementary school teacher (grade one, currently), to be precise. While our classes haven't started quite yet, we've had the half of the school building I work in renovated over the summer holidays and this week we PYP teachers are attempting to put our classrooms back together again. That means a ton of moving classroom furniture and unpacking 30+ boxes per classroom, sorting, organising, binning rubbish - you name it - all with last minute construction continuing around us. Needless to say, the days are long and arduous, I'm exhausted when I come home and my body is sore and aching and I can barely consentrate enough to focus when it comes to the computer. As of today when I left work, things were finally starting to take direction and hopefully tomorrow will chew off the rest of the worst of it - at least we live in hope that it will.

Anyway, we'll be meeting our new classes/students next Monday - hopefully the weekend will help to refresh me - and these first 1-2 weeks will probably continue to have me up in the air creations-wise as I try to balance getting settled with a new class, new work areas, new schedules, keeping up with the housework, creations, having a personal life (*gasp*) and oh yeah, the new EP coming out shortly. Bare with me and throw in a life preserver if I don't resurface. ;)
