Beef Jerky is apparently on sale at London Drugs so I’m off to pick up scads of it in order to fill Drew’s next package.\u00a0 They’ve got a few other things on sale that I’m sure will make for a change in the type of contents Drew’s been receiving from me.\u00a0 Apparently the Canada Post free shipping of military packages option is extended until January 16th so I’ve got time for one last package (after this one) before I have to start paying shipping.\u00a0 Drew is being inundated with packages at the moment – having become a depot for sending things to soldiers who aren’t getting mail and for distribution to Afghan children (Afghan? Afghani? Anyone know which is correct?<\/em>) – but I’m pretty sure that will all tail off once people have to pay the crazy Canada Post shipping rates.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, I did remember to include the letters I wrote in this package.\u00a0 Nothing like getting a home video that references the letters you’re writing and then finding no letters in your package.\u00a0 I forgot to include them in the last one.\u00a0 I’m feeling a bit guilty about the letters.\u00a0 I haven’t written one in about a week.\u00a0 I tell myself the little 5-20 minute home videos I’m recording every few days to provide the around the house, neighbourhood and city <\/em>updates should make up for my lack of discipline.\u00a0 But it’s not really that. I am disciplined; I’ve just shifted my efforts from letter written to my fall courses.<\/p>\n

Speaking of my courses, I received a notice in the mail that a package has arrived for me so I’m hoping this is my course pack and textbooks for two of the three classes I’m taking this semester. I’ve had the books for the third class for a few weeks and have done some pre-reading and preparation.\u00a0 The class started Monday and for once I’m not behind.\u00a0 Give it a few weeks. I’m sure that will change.<\/p>\n

Three classes while working full-time.\u00a0 What was I thinking?\u00a0 Well, most should be over by the time Drew gets home. I just won’t have much free time at all while I’m working on these. I’ll definitely be busy most nights and weekends though.\u00a0 Hopefully not too busy to post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
