Opportunity Knocks

Came home to find out that the idea that I pitched to the editor this morning was a hit and she wants me to write the article! I can’t believe that I’m achieving a goal that I only set last week…I’m excited and exhilirated and so happy to be right where I am right [...]

SO excited!

This is just a quick note before I head out to work this morning to say that I have been offered a writing job!!!! I emailed an editor the other day, and this morning I had an email from her in my inbox letting me know all the topics that are to be covered [...]

Roome to Breathe

Ah. It was so nice to get away to the country this weekend, but it’s just as nice to be back home in the city, back to my answering machine full of messages from friends (who are all back in town) asking me to go out last night, not to mention the drunken voice [...]

Brainwashed? Perhaps…but it makes life sunny!

I think that one of the best things about my new job is that all employees have to make a list of their one, five and ten year goals in three different categories: health, career and personal. Admittedly, I kind of rolled my eyes at this idea in the beginning, but I’ve since cme [...]

“Stop intellectualizing”

Started the morning with class with J. Took a level one, because L from work was supposed to be coming with me, but she never showed. I was kind of upset, because she called me yesterday to confirm that she was for sure coming, and if I had known that she wasn’t going [...]

The Wheel

“And that’s the way this wheel keeps working now”
–John Mayer
I finished work early today because the store was dead, and there was no point in having so many people on the floor. I went downtown, browsed around a bit, bought the Pumas that I’d been lusting after (finally found them in my size, which [...]

Locked in the Basement

(I wrote this last night, i.e. Friday,but my internet wasn’t working…so here it is now… What a horrible day at work. I got moved from cash, which is my favourite, to the basement where I spent eight straight hours sitting on the concrete floor, unpacking boxes and putting security tags on garments…then folding them, putting [...]

Epilogue

While I was in Asia I kept a daily travel journal that totals 85 memory-laden, hand written pages. I’m so happy that I kept the journal so that I can remember all the little details that always prove so fleeting if not recorded. I didn’t keep it as a daily journal while I [...]

Deja Vu

So….why is it that just when you think that things are okay, that you’ve reached the other side of shittiness, that you’re stable and you’re starting to see the light, why is it that at that exact moment life knocks you right back on your ass? I don’t even know what happened.
Things have been [...]

Rub my feet!

I’m seriously getting to wish that I had my own personal Thai massage therapist, because the pain that my feet are in every day when I get home from work is ridiculous. They throb for hours after I’ve finished my shift…time to invest in some epsom salts. No matter what shoes I wear [...]

Quick Summary

This is just a quick little post to say that I’ve filled the past few days with much busyness that I shall be sure to catch up on soon, but for now I should get to bed, as I have to work in the morning. Spent Friday and Saturday working…Was exhausted Friday evening after my [...]

Good Times Around the Bend

I wish I lived in Thailand where they have amazing Thai massage places on every corner… I am in desperate need of a foot massage after eight straight hours on my feet today…had a lot of fun though, and I’ll do it all again tomorrow!
Gonna pick myself up off the ground
When that old [...]

Things

Thing #1: Right now I’m using my blog as a journal, and right now things are kind of not so good, hence the 8 million or so posts a day…something about it makes me feel better, it’s cathartic, so…that’s why. I feel kind of silly being so upset about this, but, I think what [...]

The Morning After

Went to see The Control Room last night at Cinema du Parc with E, M and F. It was quite good, we were all really impressed by it. M even preferred it to F9/11. The film was a very welcome distraction to my spinning, overwhelmed head. In typical Montreal fashion, we [...]

Falling Down Blue

I’m alone. I’m devastated. I’m hurting so much. Why did I let this happen? There’s nothing I can do about it now…just sit and wish and cry…by myself.
We met in Montreal
Far from the crime
Moving in circles
Running with so little time
Sat and we talked
About rumours and lies
Stayed til the sun hit the [...]
