My day in Rivers mostly sucked. The co-op made me work outside. Today, I got sunburned. Probably served me right.

Thursday 6:00 AM: Online Day
As always I’m blessed with a nice sunrise view.
Thursday, for now, will be my daytime online teaching day. That is, I won’t take BSD bookings and just teach online.
So, at 6:30 AM, I’ll be talking to an IELTS student in Xinjiang.

Wednesday 9:00 PM Better Late than Never
A cloudy day but she’s warming up.
I did my taxes on paper. I wasn’t able to file them online because I wasn’t for some reason. Damn bureaucracy. Mailed them out yesterday.
How has my sub teaching been going? Well. I can’t say.
I got my third rosary:
Its beads are strictly used for praying the Hail Marys. The silver pendants are used for praying the Our Father. I will need to get the Rosary blessed.
George Fitton School
The tree is obscuring the George Fitton School lettering.
I forgot to take a view photo this Wednesday morning. So. Later.
Last night was the last meeting of my RCIA group. Maybe I will participate in a Book group next. The last class did present some challenges for me to practice my faith. I do need to practice the virtues more towards other people. I forget about Tony sometimes.
Online wise: Xinjiang, Alberta, Spain, Ontario, Chile.

Tuesday 6:12 AM: Accomplishing
At 5:15 AM, one of my early AM contacts said he wanted to go back to bed. I agreed with me, but now I am thinking that there is Accomplishing to be accomplished.

Monday 7:00 AM: Erickson Misc.
Monday. Get my taxes done day. Cross my fingers I can submit it with no hitches day.
Here is a compilation of driving video from Saturday.
I took an image of this barn on Sunday. It is not too far from Erickson.
It is blurry but I hope you can read what the barn says.
And here is how I’m doing on Duolingo.
