1) Work week is over!

2) Cuba libre in hand.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

1. I passed my master's degree!

2. I now have all the essential documents needed for my visa appointment next week- just waiting for more financial docs from my mother which will strengthen the application even more. :)

Well done!!!  :D

1.  I survived - and did well - my first day of teaching (after FOUR years!)

2.  I'm very pleased that I completely trust the handyman who's got a key to my house!

1. My car made it to work in it's ailing condition, now I have to get through a short staff meeting and then I drive 5 short miles to the mechanic, and hand over my wallet.

2. I slept pretty well last night.

1.  It is Friday and I survived my first full week at my new job.
2.  I get to actually spend time with my husband (who I have barely seen all week) this weekend preparing for moving into our first house together.
I am the architect of my destiny.
