   Joyeux anniversaire en retard! Ca a dû être bien de le fêter en famille, même si ce n’est celle d’avec Feng et Mark mais au moins, c’est avec un bout de famille! Tu dois être rassurée de pouvoir atterrir quelque part et d’être accueillie par des proches. Ca va te donner un peu de temps pour trouver un plan pour retourner au Canada. Par contre, tu ne devais pas avoir beaucoup d’affaires d’hiver!!
   Profite bien de ta maman. Ne stresse pas trop.
   Est-ce que tu as un rapport particulier avec les éléphants?

      J’ai de la chance d’avoir un bon point de chute en France et effectivement, ça fait du bien d’être avec une partie des siens 😉

      L’éléphant, c’est un peu une blague, c’est à cause du gros éléphant mécanique de Nantes. Y’a des éléphants souvenirs partout du coup à Nantes.

   Wooohoo !
   38 still has a nice prime factorization, but 37 and 39 are better.

            I know, driving everybody crazy… still healthy, though, right? I know your household has unique challenge with health conditions.

               Yes, it has been challenging. My partner is high risk so I have been a bit paranoid. Waiting impatiently for when he gets the vaccine.
               Kiddo is at home, doing remote learning and that has been difficult. I quit my corporate job and started a new chapter as a freelancer bookkeeper so that has been interesting,
            2. Zhu March 31, 2021 at 9:38 pm

               I really hope he can get vaccinated soon for peace of mind. I feel for kiddo… it’s tough. Mark finds measures challenging as well as school, it’s not exactly a fun environment right now.

               Congrats on your career move! How are things going?

         Ça doit dépendre où. Il neige au sud de Calgary, là.

               Heureusement! Pas tous les problèmes en même temps, si mère nature wants to give us a break… 😉

            Apparemment Ottawa a eu le printemps, le vrai, pendant une semaine.

         Oui il a fait 18C hier, un temps magnifique! Il manque juste les cerisiers en fleurs… mais j’ai vu des forsythias se pointer le bout du nez pendant ma marche hier. 🙂
