Too much information??

So I can't resist telling you this personal anecdote. Brace yourself.

I haven't had my period since Halloween. My body is simply adjusting to a number of factors, so I never know when it's coming (remember my cheersing to immaculate conception in December? No scares of any sort). Heather gave me permission to tell you that she hasn't had hers in some time either. I woke up this morning however, and was greeted by Aunt Flo! I Skyped Heather right away to tell her...and she was just about to tell me the SAME THING! SHE TOO GOT HER PERIOD THIS MORNING! We had a good laugh, and couldn't get over how in-tune/in-sync we really are. Soul sisters, without a doubt. Dare I even say it: blood sisters? Ok, maybe that's going too far. I apologise to the gents reading this....

It's a nasty day. Ice pellets. I ventured out still, to get groceries at Peter and Paul, the grocery store beside M1. Waiting for the bus on my way back home, this sweet old man started talking to me (in Polish of course) but I was able to tell him what time it was and when the bus would be coming, and that I'm a teacher from Canada. He rambled on about how I must be cold, and waved me over to stand with him and some elderly women by a fence, a little more shielded from the wind. The old women fussed over me; one even brushed the snow off the back of my coat from where I had been sitting on the bench. It was really endearing.

My power plant men in Kozienice brought me a big box of chocolates yesterday! They remembered my birthday! Before Christmas, we had been practicing saying different dates, and one of the exercises was to say your birthday. They asked me when mine was. MY STUDENTS ARE THE BEST! My 14-year old brat students I teach on Fridays (I haven't mentioned them much, if at all, as they are a piece of work, very low level), were learning appearance adjectives yesterday. Good-looking and beautiful were in the text. I was using celebrities as examples, so they would understand. Then the boys - who rarely participate or seem to care what is going on, start saying my name as I am thinking of more examples. I couldn't help but smile, even though I think they were mocking me, knowing them. Haha

I think that's all for now. Hope you're having a great weekend!
