Dark Monday

A couple of days ago I heard on the radio that the third Monday of January is considered to be the worst day of the year... it's called Dark Monday or something like that. It's cold, many people struggle with their post-Holiday bills, and many have already failed at keeping their new year's resolutions. Of course, the next thing you hear is how the economy is crumbling, and how many people were killed around the world. Yay! Good morning to you too! There is a crying need for positive news in the media...

I am getting back into work mode, and getting organised for my upcoming teaching engagements. It's all looking pretty good so far, and my team is working at maximum capacity. I have a new teacher on board, and he will be starting on Monday. I gave him two training sessions, and I will be accompanying him in the classroom for as long as he needs... probably three weeks. Looking forward to seeing him at work, his teaching style will determine what type of assignments I can give him.

I am looking into sorting out our finances... with interest rates dropping so low we will be exploring our mortgage options. Tim will also sort out our phone and cable and internet cost, we can surely get a better deal - it's a drag to research that, but well worth it.

Tim is starting a hockey school for women, fantastic idea!!! It looks like it will work out... it will start on the first week of February. I hope that it will be a success, he certainly deserves it - and the cashflow will be a relief. I purchased lottery tickets last week and this week... a sure sing of financial despair for me... I don't count on luck when it comes to money. It sounds silly, but I accidentally broke 3 glasses last week and one yesterday. I never break dishes, so I figured that it might be a sign - maybe my guardian angel is trying to tell me something. Is breaking glass really a sign of good luck? I guess we'll see.

One day at the time... focus on the task of the moment... soon February... and then March, and Spring time.
