So I should probably update...since the only other option is to start cleaning.
Things are going well...too well..I just passed my probation at work with flying colors so I got a $2 an hour raise plus a $100 a month bonus. AND full benefits which means I can FINALLY go buy some new updated glasses. And my meds are all paid for which will help a lot.
Chris just got a job working for a government "call center" making $12.75 an hour plus weekly and monthly bonuses, full benefits and a $1000 signing bonus. The best part about that one is that it's a "no pressure" call center. No quotas or anything like that and there is only 10 people working at a time. He is soooooo excited about it. I mean every other job he's ever had was physical labour making crap money. Right now he's getting paid $9 an hour to stand in one place and sort through garbage on a conveyor belt. He's excited just to finally have a job where he can sit down.
He also gets his car in a couple of weeks which is AWESOME for both of us. His parents got it for him, he just needs to give them the $ for it when he gets his tax refund back. This makes me especially happy because now I'll have my car all the time again, just like the old days.
Aaaand finally, we're moving in together April 1st into a nice 2 bdrm apartment in Dieppe. I don't like it as much as the one I'm in now but it is going to help us save a lot of money on rent and gas going to and from work. With our new jobs and the savings on rent alone we're going to be able to pocket more than $1000 per month more than right now.....which we're saving for a down payment on a house! The new apartment is literally right across the road from the mall which is awesome too.
Anyway...what else is new..oh yeah, it was Mom's birthday yesterday so I sent her something I know she's going to totally lose it for. I got her and I matching 14k Gold rings that are really pretty...just like a simple band with a slight pattern on it and a heart in the middle. She's been having a really tough time with depression and stuff lately (She hates living in Ottawa and never getting to see me) so in the card I wrote up a little thing about how when she's feeling down she can just look down at the ring and know that maybe at that same moment I'm looking down at mine and thinking about her....then I got her a gift certificate for Additionelle too. (She loves that store)..
Anyway, I got some caffeine in me now so it's time to clean!
