M.I.A.
I've totally been lax at posting here. The past comple weeks have been pretty busy. Grandma had a great visit here despite the crazy crazy hot days and it was nice to see her and have her see my apartment and cats
Next though I had the fun of trying to work a six night work week while fighting a very VERY bad cold. I ended up having to call in sick on night and the following night, while I went into work, I ended up nearly passing out and the evening receptionist had to come back in and cover for me for a few hours so I could catch a few hours of sleep. However I survived and am now just plagued by a annoying hacking cough.
Last night I went over to Graeme's for our last video night before he and his girlfriend drive cross country back to Ontario *sniffle* I am gonna miss him but thankfully for Skype and MSn and stuff I'll atleast get to talk to him as often as I'd want to. Its sad though since I dunno when he'll be back to visit since he's gonna be doing Christmas in Ontario with his girlfriend's family since this year she did it here with us. Oh well, like I said, it'll be a good excuse to go visit them in Ottawa and subsequently try and visit some friends in that area as well as maybe Toronto or Kingston.
Today I went and helped out Mom by giving a presentation to a group of students in a Uvic class about my experineces with ADD. It was fun. I enjoy talking heh (big shock there) we then went for lunch and she gave me a lift to the library.
Now I'm back home with the fun fun of two days of pretty much cleaning and moving all my crap from my living room into my bedroom in preparation for the furniture I'm gonna get on Saturday when Graeme and Dad empty his apartment in prepartion for their depature on Monday
I also have to sit down and write a nice going away letter for him. I already gave him his going away present I got him- the 2 dvd set of "Meaning of Life" by Monty Python, but I'd like to give him something personal too. Something that tells him how proud I am of him and how I'll miss him but that I'm here for him if he needs anything
Mom mentioned I should work on expanding my social circle, admittedly I've kinda become less out going then I once was but its definantly a lot harder to make new friends when you're not in school. There are a few cool girls at work but I dunno if they'd wanna hang out with me outside of our work environment, a few are bar goers which has never been my thing and the others are kinda already in their own little groups. I dunno, I don't really feel a push to be more outgoing but at the same time I understand Mom's motivations.
Right now my main concerns are Mona's health and my weight, both of which have been up in the air of late. Mona's on new meds for her puking and they kinda seem to be helping but its hard to say. Meanwhile I've reached the 170 mark and thats a bit alarming. I didn't mind 160 but 170 is pushing it. I REALLY REALLY need to get more active and maybe remember to eat fruits and vegetables once and awhile sheesh.
But all and all things are good, I have a NORMAL work week to look forward to and hopefully I'll get to go see Hairspray with either one or both of the parents sometime soon
