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...
Moving in around 3 weeks
I’ve decided to use March to:
Save money
Get rid of all the junk/clothes I don’t need/want anymore
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...

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?

I have taken to watching episodes of the Simpsons online on my laptop in bed when I can’t fall asleep. I haven’t watched the Simpsons regularly for at least 5 years so I have a wonderful backlog of episodes to choose from, it’s really great. The Simpsons is a great show.
Over and out.

just another manic Friday
I graduated college last night and right now I’m sitting in bed, smoking a bowl, watching youtube on my new laptop, trying to figure out my new Blackberry.
I think this is what you call BALLINNNN’.
eep
That amazing, dreamy job opportunity that I almost didn’t take opportunity of? I got it.
My final mark in the most important course of my senior semester? 92%.
I guess my new life starts on February 1st. So, yeah.
Lots of good going on lately
I had a very happy weekend. Friday was the bomb, Saturday was unproductive but still good, today needs to be slightly more productive but we’re having a Mexican feast for dinner, so you know it’s gonna be a good day overall. Here’s to you, tacos.
Big, awesome things are happening in my life. Bigger, awesomer things than have ever happened before.
Worrying is like praying for the things you do not...
today
I attended my last college class. Final exams next Monday and Thursday.
And that’s it.

SO ESSITING!
lookin like a fool
I go to google to search for something about my case study and the two most recent searches are “insight meditation instruction” (mom) and “pants on the ground” (dad). Bahaha.
Anyway, I haven’t actually started my case study for real, out of fear, but I just laid it all out and it’s actually not that much work at all. Awww yeah. Back in the school groove.
Uhhh
A week into my holidays, I still haven’t opened a school book. Christmas was nice, but it was small and fast. Fewer people, less stress. Different but good - I have a feeling Christmas will continue to feel those two things for a few years.
Speaking of which, I was talking to my dad about that stuff. First I was a kid, then I was a teenager, then I was in my early twenties - all these...
funmax
I’m ALMOST done shopping. And it’s the afternoon of the 23rd. Shhh.
Tonight I’m going downtown to drink and record songs with my brother, then sleeping over at Shane’s. I’ve really fallen into the holiday groove (schoolwork has gone completely untouched so far… OH WELL MOTHERFUCKERS) and am feeling really Christmassy/relaxed.
My nails are red and sparkly and...
so
I GOT AN INTERVIEW FOR THAT JOB. They e-mailed me today to let me know that they’ll give me a shout when Christmas is over to set up a time.
Finally, I can relax. I was just waiting to know that I wouldn’t have to interview this week - now I can just chill and enjoy Christmas. : )
Time for a DRANK.
xmas
I’m wrapping Christmas presents and listening to Christmas music on the radio, Charlie is asleep on the wrapping table on a pile of tissue paper. I skipped a family get together tonight to have some “me time” and just enjoy not talking. This weekend felt a bit busier than I would have liked.
Tomorrow is my last class at school before holidays officially begin, there’s...

I found out today that one of the supervisors at my school who is smart and nice and awesome is hiring at the clinic he owns. He gave me some really positive feedback when I was in his outreach clinic, I’ve known him since my freshman semester and it’s in the village - close enough to walk if I’m living in Wolseley. My first reaction was like, not even considering applying. I...

Today was nice. I had a fun weekend in America. My wrists hurt and my hands are always cold/numb, I’m thinking I might have to start sleeping with braces, what a dork.
Time for a bubble bath.
FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY
Class tomorrow morning, then going to AMERICA for the weekend with Shane, my brother and his wife. I am SO HAPPY. Shopping, hotel with a pool, cheap liquor, and getting AWAY from the city. So, so excited.
I’m making a mix CD for the drive. But first, Glee.
s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y night
Even though I felt like a bag of crap for most of the evening and I burnt dinner and worked yesterday, it felt more like a weekend night than any I’ve had in a while. Me and Shane unpacked and cleaned a little; the new apartment is really starting to feel homey. I could see us being there for a long time, it’s pretty rad and huge.
Last night me and Shane made some beats on the iPad....
Holy fuckballs
I am so sick. It’s been years.
I feel much less invincible now.

blood and windex
In the process of cleaning Shane’s old apartment, I dropped a knife and stabbed myself in the toe. Half an inch over and I bet I might’ve lost a piece of one! Lucky.
No milk today
And by milk I mean work.
Wow, I’m so pumped. And no case study tomorrow. First weekend that I’ve had to myself in almost a month. And Shane’s moving into the new digs today, awww yeah.
So tempted to celebrate having Saturday afternoon to myself by smoking a bowl. Bad, bad.
note to self:
Don’t drink a bottle of wine and smoke 4 bowls if you MIGHT have to work in the morning.
Fingers crossed, the suspense is awful.
Orange mango alcholic energy drinks
Me: Did you seriously only get me one Rockstar?
Shane: Yes.
Me: That sucks.
Shane: It's only Thursday.
brains on durgs
Just decided that I’m smoking a doob before visceral class tomorrow. I feel better already.
TAKE THAT, SCHOOL, you fuckin’ asshole.
Just when I was thinking, "Wow, I'm so...
MELTDOWN WINTER 2010.
I just want to not exist for a few days. No classes, no obligations, NO FUCKING PHONE CALLS.
Just blankies and TV and baths and Charlie and maybe Shane too and weed and wine and snowing outside.
boo hiss
That client I treated was told by their chiropractor to “not have any massage therapy!” Fuck you, you stupid dickhead. As if you actually think that. This client tore fibers in a muscle that attaches exclusively to the shoulder blade, lets adjust her spine, make her feel worse, then have her back three times a week.
I have nothing against chiropractic or chiropractors in general. I...
tired
Graduating in 8 weeks, have a job waiting for me, new apartment this weekend, just did my first follow-up with a client I treated who had an acute injury on Saturday and it was positive and they were grateful.
So why am I so goddamn grumpy?
school daze
Going insaaaane. 2 more months of madnessssss.
Off to work
Life feels a bit crazy - or like it’s about to get crazy. School life, I guess. Lots of shit coming up, classes ending, projects, exams, practicals. I need to get on top of it soon, like this week, or it’s going to sneak up and punch me right in the face.
My dad’s on his way to pick me up from Shane’s right now, he’s been in BC since last Wednesday, I can’t...
So today, there are no classes...
I was supposed to stay home & start/work on/finish my business project.
Instead I stayed in bed with Charlie, snuggling under the blankets all morning.
Sooo good.
In a few hours I’m on my way downtown to see a movie with Shane, then sleep over - 2nd last clinic EVER tomorrow morning - then back to my parents’ house for tomorrow night. They’re out of town until Monday, and...

Christ I’m so mixed up and lonely I can’t even make friends with my brain I’m too young to be where I’m going But I’m too old to go back again
unproductivity
All I want to do is lay in bed or take a bath or sleep.
That’s all I did today and it’s all I want to do for a while.
That’s all that’s all that’s all.
:)
Me and Shane are looking for a new apartment. Fun and exciting!
Charlie is turning into the sweetest most snuggly cat ever, I love him very much.
School is good, a bit overwhelming and tomorrow morning I start at my practicum placement which is CRAZY but I’m going to do my very best to maintain a calm and confident attitude and chill out so I don’t ruin the experience for myself.
