SO,
since my last entry,
everything worked out with taxes. I got an ok return. dont know if i'll get a return this coming year because of other income but time will tell right.
polaroid doenst make joycam film anymore.
cuba was great and a good time off...its hard to recover at work. april is a writeoff sadly.
marika was successful in an interview for a new job with london life/canada life whatever. doing rsp details. which is awesome cuz it will increase her knowledge and we can have nerd talks.
lol and im sure i'll end up learning a bunch from her. im excited. she'll be a few job grades up from her current one, meaning a 6-10% pay raise instantly and then it can only get better from there right. it will seriously just be one greater step to us moving out.
I am not monday to friday at td ezline. which is great. i have weekends. real weekends. and coming soon to ezline is 'fixed shifts.' fixed start times. it will be great. hopefully I can move around in the company and do something else soon but this is a win for ppl at work.
im trying to save as much as possible while still paying debt.
mainly a savings focus!
why,
and this is more for me to write for myself if anyone says 'um this is common sense buddy u should abeen doing this 10 years ago'
saving focus is so that if something comes along...a great house that we both fall in love with...we have the option to put in an offer. if i make massive payments to my cc each month, sure it goes down but then i'll still have minimal $ in savings so I'll just have to pass it up or i just wont even be looking and therefore maybe miss the one that fits what i want.
and then if in months to come i say, hey I know its going to be another x months, i'll just put xxxx to my credit card from savings and get that gone. options is what it's all about for me right now.
I am meeting marika's dad for the first time this weekend. Everyone is going to barrie to see her sister, kerri's jewelery show. It's going to be very intersting. I'm excited only cuz her sisters and everyone are cool and fun to hang out with. it should hopefully be pretty cool, tho they dont fancy their father.
friday, we might drive out to parkhill to look at a house. its cheap, big lot, looks good! but parkhill. we arnt in a position to buy but it looks like a real 'starter' and would maybe be a good example later of soemthing we'd really like to find.
i want to sleep but these sinus/cold pills seem to have woke me up. just like damn neocitrin does. my body is wack.
im going to do my best. i need my rest.
I'm so proud of my girlfriend.
I love my life with her.
I thought, just the other night, how much i appriciate everything.
I thought, I wonder what I would have done tonite. I probably would have sat in my room doing nothing dispising my situation at home and all the negativity around here. I never noticed how nice it is to get away from this house and how much better I feel.
I've totally spread my wings and my room doenst contain enough space for me anymore.
Soon I'll be out.
It's just a matter of time now as things are actually on track.
She doesnt read this journal. maybe she knows the address. I've shown it but I doubt she looks.
time to dream.
