Restless with anticipation

A couple of nights ago I bought an ipod from the apple store on the internet. Now I have to wait for it to be delivered - the waiting is not doing good things for me. I surely hope that when it gets here I can pretty much plug it into the computer and that it goes. If it takes more to make it happen than that I am going to have to start drinking in order to calm down.

There's a few new things in my life at the moment. I bought a new compost thing, and that seems to be working just fine, as much as something that takes months to establish can be assessed after only a few days. And the other day I was offered a very cheap Mexican Walking fish, and took it. It seems to be a very quiet pet, who sits around in the bottom of the tank just breathing. Apparently that is perfectly normal behavior for them and it might be really happy. It seemed to be gasping when I first put it in, but that may have been because it had been in the same water for 3 days and was already in oxygen debt. Perhaps the gasping was about feeling much better. The kids are not annoying it so far, so hopefully it can spend most of its time at school. Also hopefully it will live! I always feel like fish things can die in a short period of time and very mysteriously.

I have a lot to do at school, and with no free periods it is not getting done during the day. I will need to get into a pattern of ringing people at night, or not having lunch breaks. More likely to ring people at night!

Yay for compost thing. After you posted about it, I went and read many web pages about it. I am easily lead. iPods are normally pretty straight forward and it will possibly even come fully charged so that you can use it *straight* away!

Lack of non-contacts is poos if you have to be planning. I'm getting a bit excited because I have my first relief at a school *not* the one I've taught at for the last 3 years!
