I've had a pretty shit week. Money is tight due to all my massive expenses this month and it's been stressing me out. To make matters worse - my car died... Turns out I needed a new battery and not just a clean up of the connections. Long story there. Then today I get an email from my old work back in Australia. Barb's cancer caught up with her and she passed away on Tuesday night. Strangest thing about that was that all day on Monday I was thinking about her, wondering how she was doing - missing our chats.. It was essentially the same time that she died that I was thinking about her.
In perhaps good news, my waitressing days are over. I'm being moved to work on Slots. Which will be pretty cool, and not disgusting. I love being on the floor and dealing with customers, but handling their rejected food scraps is a little too gross for me. Hopefully I get some big winners, and generous tippers! Tips arent as big as waitressing - perhaps only $5 an hour, but the hourly pay is more. The shifts will also be more frequent, so the money will be flowing a bit more too. This will help.
Ev and I have had some amazing chats the last couple of mornings. It's so nice having someone who loves me so much and understands me. Talking in the mornings also proves to be more pleasant. In the evenings he's not always feeling so good because of the pills.. poor thing!
We started plotting our drive down to Cali today. Google suggests going through Idaho and cutting into Washington.. But we're thinking perhaps driving through the Rockies via Banff and down that way to enjoy more of the coast rather than the middle of no where. Plus that would mean going back towards Vancouver and a chance to see that area one last time.. and a couple of my friends there. Always a good thing.
Heh what is with Camrose radio playing Australian music?? This time it's Midnight Oil. It's not usually until towards the end of the song that I've been singing along to - that I realise it's one of ours!!
Poor Canada still don't have any medals. Yet countries like Azerbaijan and Kirghyzstan do. That must hurt. I find it entertaining. Nothing like being Australian and having sport involved to make one feel extra patriotic!
Time to watch an episode of Heroes and head to bed.
