Ce qu'en pensent les potes

Here comes the sun.... finally.

Health

With the sun, less pain. Now if the temperature can stop playing yo-yo, I'll be set to have a good spring.

Teaching stuff

My last class was this week. The students have until the 30th to hand out the last term paper. After that I need to grade and hand out the final results by April 14th. I did go to the University on Monday and if the teacher, who is on sick leave, is still out next January, I have a chance at giving the class again.


Reading

I'm in a rot reading wise. So I'm reading the translation of a web novel "My most faithful companion" by Bu Zhi Shi Ke Cai that was adapted and will be on iQiyi late this year or early next year "My Queen, my rules". The translation is not bad, it's really, really up to the roof CEO/wife arranged marriage trope. It's good in a too sugary, I need pop corn with lots of caramel type of reading. Also CEO Ao Rui Peng is kinda hot.

Watching

I'm also kinda in a rot so I am rewatching Coroner's Diaries. It was that or Under the Skin 2 again. I went with Ao Rui Peng and Li Landi.

Hockey

My Pens are awful. Just awful. Less said is better.

Crafting

I took out of my boxes a x-stitch that I put aside years ago. Only the back stitches are left to do, a lot with metallic thread. I decided to finish it. It's on black canvas. The union of back stitch, black canvas and metallic thread is like Dante's Inferno.

Health

I took a dive in the outside steps on Sunday. My right knee was scratched a whole lot. The shock was brutal. I'm better, yea! for chiropractor and Polysporin cream. 

Teacher stuff

Last week of online class, I still have to write one text for next Monday. Then they have to do their last term paper due on the 30th. By May 10th it's done. 

I really enjoyed the experience. If the opportunity is offered again I'll take it. 

Work stuff

I might take a short term replacement job at my old library. One of the librarian is out on sick leave. I'm just the back up if she doesn't come back mid May and only part time (3 1/2 days) and only until June. That's a lot of only. We will see. 

Reading

April is a slow month reading wise I'm still reading  Katabasis by R. F. Kuang. I'm up to 21% and it's interesting. But I'm more into reading fic this month. It's Rough Trade first writing challenge of the year. The theme is Complications : competence/alternative universe. I love reading the stories as they are written. I have two this time I'm following : Bone Deep it's a Harry Potter Master of Death AU and (How to) Save a Life also Potter fandom but with a focus on Draco being the main character. Often I end up rereading some stores that were posted through the challenge and published months later. I am rereading Keira Marcos Fusion/AU Potter/Tolkien: The Arda Exodus. It is still very entertaining and a comfort read.

Watching

Pursuit of Jade is on pause because I'm not in a historical drama mood but I'll go back to it eventually. I am watching Sunsets Secrets Regrets a noir, crime, undercover, police drama. So far (10/28), it's keeping me watching. Rebirth was a no go, I watched the first three and nope. 

Hockey

The battle of Pennsylvania Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia. Redux. Go Pens. Starts this week-end.

Crafting

My red fox in the forest is done.
