Life in December

Hello everyone! And Happy Holidays, as you can see I just finished posting my October trip. No, Michael, I've visited since 11/10, but I couldn't change the date of my drafts! Anyway, so a lot of fun things have happened since my trip, but yep, I'm still teaching; some days really enjoying it and other days I want to rip my hair out, but all in all, the teaching is getting better.

I've been on a few trips too. I visited another castle, Chenonceau. It was amazing. I also went wine tasting in Vouvray. They have great whites there! I'm not a big fan of whites, but really enjoyed sipping theirs.

Then, I went to Paris last weekend to watch the rugby match between France and South Africa; France won 26-20. It was a great game, aside from my body going numb. Did some shopping in Paris to get ready for the cold trip I'm taking East in just 13 days! How exciting. I'm heading to Eastern Europe: Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic (Prague for Xmas; and Bohemia, girls!), and ending in Poland (Warsaw for New Year's). I've been busy planning that, lodging, flights, trains. But, now, I have finished!

So, aside from...

• having nightmares several times a week,
• being stressed out, which I can only assume that I am since I've been grinding my teeth like crazy (must be the nightmares)---why I have stress, don't know, but it could be from living in a foreign country... but other than that, life is pretty darn easy, only working 12 hours/week-----but, my teeth, yes, they are a hurtin'---I have broken 2 teeth really badly, but they now are a perfect match and I've cracked another, but not too badly. But, now I am on strict orders to wear my mouthguard every night for the rest of, well, my life probably! Sad :( I guess we now know, I'm a biter!
• and....nothing else right now....so I'm doing pretty well, besides those sleeping mishaps...

Happy Holidays everyone!

Cheers, Jen
