Quick change

Just a few mere hours ago, I wanted to come on here and post my frustrations about my inability to access an online course that I registered for. As I was typing away, Spitfire, who was officially home due to illness (poor thing vomitted three times yesterday), asked to play games on my computer. She is a big fan of www.treehousetv.com games. Struggles as she does with control of the mouse, she really likes Dora's Silly Costume Maker or anything Diego. As I shut down my applications, I realized that I didn't save my blog in progress. Oh well, I thought, I was a ball of fury anyway.

Happily, my course registration issues were sorted (just realized that I should send out a thank you to the school so I just whipped one off) and I can now view and participate in my course. I'm quite excited about it. Unlike the previous course (project management) I completed, this one (supervisory and leadership) seems a lot more interactive. I'm able to post on a discussion board and submit assignments. The previous course was a video format with tests at the end of each unit. I like the sharing and group learning aspect of this course.

With that out of the way, I can think about other things. Being at home brings about the gift of seeing all of the flaws in the house. It's been said time and time again that there is always something to do with a house. Sure enough, mine is no exception. I can see small issues and not-so-small issues. The small problems - the inside walls of my cupboard under my sink are slightly stained. I've tried cleaning, I've tried bleach. These are stubborn stains. I've decided to re-paint the insides of that cupboard. Off to add primer and white paint to my list.

Yes, I've started a list. I'm the type of person that would prefer to think of something and then act but this time, I'm restraining myself. I must create a to-do list for house projects and keep a budget. Off to make a big list.
