Is it normal that am taking clothing out of my bag so I can take more books?

I've done that to come to Canada :)
And it resulted that I brought no suit with me. Today I got one, a sweet deal.
Wife is not very happy with the expense, but I'll need for my interview tomorrow and for other ones, too.
 
I made it through all 3 full time days. I come home with absolutely no energy though. Usually I cut off my caffeine fairly early, but while there I was drinking tea pretty much all day. Would still come home and nap (just checking on a few things now after eating dinner, going to go nap) and sleeping pretty good at night besides one night where I woke up due to feeling ill. Every now it creeps in that I'm not just trying hard enough and I should have a more traditional job (and some comments from others certainly don't help with those self-judgmental thoughts). Then I do something like this and no - that's totally not sustainable long term. It's not just the fatigue either, I'm pretty sore today and have been nauseated on and off. My throat has been feeling kind of borderline too, although no full out attacks.

I am glad I managed to attend all of it though, I learned lots.
 
Air Canada cancelled my sister's flight tonight. argh.
She is now booked tomorrow morning, frustrating.

My day is full of washing floors, doing laundry, cleaning bathrooms.
Husband & son are doing work at other house.

It is quiet here. I have the front door open with the sun shining in the storm door. It is warm on the feet with the effect of the sun.
I am so thankful for spring to be on its way.

Winter has been fine, but, I was out on the deck with bare feet, hanging clothes up on the back porch with short-sleeved shirt, enjoying the sun shinging and the blue sky, and my spirit and energy is lifted.

I am thankful.
 
Busy day yesterday.
I had the interview, suited up (I was glad the suit looked really good in relation to how much it costed), and I think it went well. It's totally within my experience and I had a good chemistry with the interviewer.
In the afternoon, went to the long-term care residence where I'm volunteering as a Spiritual Health visitor. Had a good time there chatting and praying with the residents. It hope it was my last Friday there, as I expect to be working soon. I'll then start to visit on Saturdays.
After that, had to solve some provincial bureaucracy things for my wife. Provincial public departments are way worse and more bureaucratic than the Federal government. It drives me crazy. They don't accept things as sworn translations issued in Brazil, and I never had this problem before. Moreover, they weren't shy to ask for an English translation instead of a French one. I said no, I'll be providing a French one since it's a bilingual country, and a bilingual Province. The same thing happened in Manitoba Health, where the guy told me my English wasn't clear enough. I then started to talk to him in French and he turned white as paper. On the other hand, all interactions I had with the Federal government organizations where totally fine.

What's the point of bilingualism other than to let Canadians use the language of their choice? :unsure:
