So I'm home "sick" at the moment from the school where I work for today. Not that I'm actually "ill" as such but yesterday I tripped going up the stairs at work and have wrenched my left calf muscles something cruel. I can barely straighten the muscle or leg for that matter. I spent most of yesterday limping around the place barely able to walk so the boss (on the recommendation of the school nurse as well) said to stay home and rest it for today - yay me! 3 day weekend!!!

Meanwhile though I'm keeping busy! I've been trying to find out some info on the 'command economy' (communism) from an economics point of view so I can do that with my year 10 class next week but am not having much luck. There's heaps out there but it's all very biased, or very philosphical and so way too hard for 15 year olds to understand. Otherwise the info sesms to be more of a historical 'lets-bash-russia-china-and-all-those-other-red-bastards' kind of material, which isn't quite what I'm after... :/

I'm also looking up stuff about cafepress.com as we want to set up a 'shop' at school to make use of the school mascots --> [link] that we got to draw up for us a few weeks ago. Has anybody had any experience with cafepress out there? How'd it go? Got any pointers..?

Finally I also have a picture to finish colouring up for so I have to get on with that as well. So inbetween my plans to also watch a few epsiodes of the West Wing Season 1 (birthday present last week) I'm keeping busy on my 'day off'...!



cheers
