Road trip today. L and I drove to Waterloo for a pork hamburger at a little dive called the Harmony Restaurant. So good. But that wasn’t the best part (though taking a road trip for food based on a third party recommendation was pretty good); it was our attitude. We’d gotten turned around a couple…

I feel like a fraud, sitting for hours at work doing nothing. It’s the slow season (i.e. summer) in banking. Nothing new to me. But for some reason this time it’s hitting me like a ton of bricks. Like they might realize extending the contract is costing them more money than it’s bringing in. I…

I’ve been struggling. Despite things going well at work, in spite of my personal life being more active than it was. Essentially, small problems arise and they give me anxiety. It becomes blown out of proportion and, while I can keep it bottled in and deal with it, the process isn’t healthy. Not the bottling,…

Have I mentioned I’m not a fan of this shift? And I’m working it next week as well. Mind you, I’ve told them I’d like not to be on it following that. It’s playing havoc with my life. I can’t sleep later, my eating patterns are even more screwed up, I barely remember to write…

Not a fan of the new hours. Hoping they don’t last beyond a week. Spent far too much time in transit today trying to pick up and then drop off a kitty I relinquished to her foster momma, and while the right decision, still hurts like mad. She’s got a cute new name, but she’ll…

So, they found blood in Mels’ urine. She’s been given an antibiotic shot, but no word today from the vet. It’s killing me. Even though she’s gonna be living with her foster mom, I need to know she’s going to be okay. In her absence, Izzy’s become a cuddle monster. Which made me realize that…

So, I’m on my own at the office tomorrow. Trial by fire. They’ve got faith in me. I worked midnights on my own for years before I had a partner (granted, I enjoyed the hours a lot more when Dale was there). So it’s nothing new for me. I can prioritize, I can hold down…

Mels will be going back with her foster momma. It’s not a choice I make lightly; realizing that emotionally I’m still on somewhat shaky ground since October is a hard pill to swallow, and knowing that I can’t give her the attention she needs in this stage of her development saddens me. I can look…

Mels went mental this morning, attacking the other girls and even taking a swipe at my leg. Despite separating them, she was still feral, and I worried for Hannah and Izzy. I took to the 24 hour Vet in the beaches (the doctor there was way chill) and they agreed to board her for a…

Uncharted territory. Seriously. My debt’s officially discharged, which means I’m out of bankruptcy. I’ve got a contract extension to the end of October. Paperwork’s been submitted to get my Trillium deductible reduced. I’ve even gone on dates. There’s 3 months’ rent saved in the bank, and I’ve got close to $200 in coin rolled and…
