Starting a new adventure, and a new hobby

Wow, lots of exciting things are happening in the life of Miss. Kneesh! 

It turns out I missed the application deadline for the local school board that I want to work for. I could have remained in the area, supplying at daycares all year, but realistically, I would have become homeless with that sort of job prospects. Desperate measures had to be taken. 

I found a website where a lot of First Nations schools advertise for jobs. I applied for everything in the grade K-4 range, all across Canada, including the Territories. All told, I applied for 19 positions, and received interview offers from 17 of them. I only agreed to two interviews, both in Northern Ontario, one via telephone and one via Skype. 

Within the week I had a job offer from one of the schools, complete with a detailed 12 month contract. 

Guess what… 

I accepted! 

DIY Apartment Number Plaque

Well, summer has struck, which makes me cranky. I don’t like heat, I’m far happier in the winter. But, summer (for me at least) means lots of indoor time, hiding from the sun, which means lots of crafts!

Here’s the ugly landlord number: 

And here’s what my little plaque looks like:
