It's cold again here after a bit of mild weather. The past 2 weeks seem to have gone by in a flash and flurry of activity. The kids are already back at school today. L left on the train yesterday morning and is safely in her residence and already has a busy week ahead. She has volunteered for at least 3 clubs. As usual, it was sad to see her go, but it was time to get on with her life. It's a homecoming of sorts when they return to school. It's time for a lot of students to start thinking about off campus housing for the next school year.
K will be tired today at school after many late nights. His end of semester exams are looming towards the end of the month. The good thing is that all our Christmas decorations are packed away and I can get back to a regular exercise routine. The gym has been crowded with a lot of people we don't normally see. It usually thins out again by the end of the month.
I had bought lottery tickets for a big jackpot for me and my mom, so I went to check them at the lottery booth yesterday. You can self check your tickets by scanning them into a little machine. I was surprised how busy it was there. The lottery is a booming business. My mom won a free play, so I have to go get her to sign the ticket. She's staying alive!
