Working on my TLLP

Hateful computer glitches!
I had another opportunity to work on my TLLP project today. I ended up ‘re-doing’ some work that I had done last month. My laptop runs on the new Vista operating system (not XP). I had created a wonderful slide show for use during the PD session in April. It had taken me the better part of a day. Well, today when I tried to open the file, it was corrupted. Argh! I asked the computer technician to help me recover the file, but no luck! She informed me that this happens a lot with Vista and that the operating system is not very stable. Jeez!

Today, I also did some mathematical calculations. I have spent over 1500$ for resources for this project. My original budget was 1100$. Ah well. I guess the Ministry will forgive me, since I'm likely to under budget anyways.

My original plan was to travel to Toronto this week, in order to locate some missing resources. However, I decided to hold off. Two reasons: 1) My hubby is away and so I'd need someone to take care of the kiddie if I took off to Toronto 2) My budget is um....non-existant!
So, I guess I'll take a wait and see approach to this road trip.
