Remember all the suggestions you all gave? Yes, it helps a little. But it's a pretty pathetic existence to feel like you need to stay glued to the computer with headphones and brown noise. Especially when you came to visit your husband, but you can't even sit on the couch with him for very long and even then, you're tense cuz you wonder when you ( Read more... )

I just don't get it. Unless Edmonton gets a sudden huge dump of snow, they're fine. Snow falls and accumulates steadily for six months and people drive normally (well, smart ones with a fair bit of caution). Even on the ice and snow-packed residential roads ( Read more... )

My eye appointment is in less than two weeks and I was saying I planned to come after that. I hadn't given serious thought to packing, reserving a plane ticket, etc. It hurts too much to think to leave Dave ( Read more... )

Saturday Afternoon: The Audition

I'm also indecisive if I really want to go out into the bitter cold. I DO want to see the horse, but the hassle to get there and the cold (and heat in summer) combined makes me wonder how badly I want it. ( Read more... )

I saw a modern remake of the movie and it did have an awkward moment or two, but generally a funny film ( Read more... )

We hit a pretty tight spot financially this week. I had about $11 in my account. That's the first blessing. When I use this certain account, money taken out is less than what I actually spend. Gotta love the exchange rate (except when sending money orders home ( Read more... )

I had a very long day with a bit of a traumatizing bit thrown in. Let me tell you the tale as to how we got here ( Read more... )

Instructor Career: You know how we want to be a hundred things when we're kids? I don't think I grew out of that. Or maybe I had, but thought I couldn't do what I actually had settled on my Senior year due to some inability to deal with the big world of University living. I had settled on teaching, but 3 days into University, I couldn't handle the ( Read more... )
