Saturday

Had a really great day at work, I’m loving my new home downtown, just feeling so great and happy these days. My life is full of wonderful people who I love so much, I love my work, I love laying in bed all day with Charlie. I’m having lots and lots of good times.

Feeling very smug about where I am right now and very pleased to be here.

Well

Just got my first money directly deposited into my bank account from direct billing.


So that’s awesome.

Moving day

Charlie is ready. I’m getting there. Break to youtube and drink a glass of wine. No shame.

Zzz…

My second time seeing 4 clients in a day. Ideally, I’d like to see 3/4 clients 3/4 days a week. All of mine were so lovely today. Honestly, everyone has been telling me what a great career this is for so long, and it’s finally starting to hit me. You mean I can work a job I like, helping nice people and survive on 10 hours of work a week? Oh, now I get it. JACKPOT.

No more work until next week. Tomorrow night it’s famjam at Mark and Steph’s house, Saturday is zoo with Shane (YAYAY) and Sunday is famjam take 2 at home - birthday famjam! This feels like a good time to turn 25.

Moving in around 3 weeks

I’ve decided to use March to:

  1. Save money
  2. Get rid of all the junk/clothes I don’t need/want anymore
  3. Learn to cook more lovely things

Tonight I made meatloaf for dinner. I also learned how to make awesome bruschetta a few weeks ago that is so good and healthy. I’m excited about cooking.

Update

  • I cannot fucking believe it’s snowing today. This happens every year but it never gets easier: being so done with winter that you go a little bit insane.
  • Work is good - picking up, finding a few clients. I love making more money in an hour than I used to in an 8 hour shift.
  • I cut my hair off and dyed it black. This also happens every year.
  • Moving out of my parents’ house and into the downtown condo on April 1st.

I remember thinking to myself, 2 years, college, graduate, move out again, new life. Well, it’s been 3 years, but the rest is panning out.

important hair update

I cut my bangs and my hair and now I’m a brunette again, too. With everything, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, a time to cut your hair, a time to also dye your hair. Seasons of hair.

I swear to God

…the more I cut my nails, the faster they grow. Such a pain, because if I forget, it’s disastrous! Do they do fingernail removal? Declawing for people?
