Ironing shrinks your clothes.

Being poor and in a new city (and having shed a few kilos), ironing has been a relatively new but much appreciated blessing. I'm afraid my life is not very fascinating at the moment. Today, I will have the first low key night for a few days now. I'm just gonna change into my comfy pjs, and soak up the wonders of Narnia along with some warm tea for some throat. Teaching is sick nasty to the vocal cords.

Life is good. I am surrounded by great colleagues, and all around by warm and loving people. It has been a blessing, being away from home. I play soccer in the park with a five year old, I go to the gym, I watch football games. I have become a new person in this strange new city. Yet I cannot wait to be back in B-town over Christmas break, hanging out with my family over holiday hot chocolate and wine, with the karaoke machine blaring, and father belting out the lyrics of the same song for the fifth time, walking in the rain and having snow fights. Also, I cannot wait to hit up the snowy mountains with my family's new husky.

Christmas, you're only two months away.
