Last night after work I went with the girls to this 24-hour restaurant called Perkins in St. Catharines that serves 24-hour breakfast. I ate like a horse and didn't get sick and had a lovely time. I love hanging out with my work friends, they make me howl so hard. It feels good to have a quasi social group. I'm thinking I'll drag Ben to that restaurant soon because the food is great and not that pricey, either. I'm surprised we've never been before.
Ben and I are hanging out on Monday, we're going to go for dinner and he wants to exchange Christmas gifts but I don't want to yet because it feels so early! I'd rather wait until Christmas Eve. We haven't hung out much this month because of my illness but now that I'm healthy and school is done, we should have lots of time to do so.
I finished my Christmas shopping yesterday; momma and I went to Mapleview in Burlington and I spent a FORTUNE. My credit card bill is going to be SO high, and I cringe just thinking about it because I have absolutely no money in the bank. This time of year sucks in that retrospect. I had so much money in November, but then I got sick and didn't get a good paycheque for a while, so I had to spend my savings on Christmas gifts, and THEN some. I'm almost afraid to log into my bank account online and see how much money I have, or rather, in my case, the money I DON'T have.
In other news, I got a guinea pig back in November! Her name is Missy and she's white with pink ears and a bit of brown on her tummy. She's adorable, even though she eats and craps a whole lot, though I guess that's obvious, eating causes crapping, haha. I am SO attractive, hear me roar.
I'm going skating tonight! I'm so happy. I can't wait, even though I know it's going to exhaust me. I'm still pretty weak; I lost ten pounds over the course of being sick because I was throwing up so much, and despite my recent activity of eating like a horse, I've yet to gain it back, and I want it back, dammit. I don't want to look like I have an eating disorder. I should move my current eating habits up to a new level: from eating like a horse to eating like a full-grown elephant. Weight gain, commence!
