Leftover Shawarma For Breakfast?

One paltry five hour shift to get through today and then day off tomorrow!  My days off were originally Saturday and Sunday, but one of my coworkers wanted to switch my Fri for her Sat so now I get an early day off, work one measly day, then another whole day off!  I am definitely ready for day off already so this is change was most agreeable to me.

Do I have big plans for my days off?  Hahaha of course not.  Not working, and that is all I care about right now.

Poor boyfriend has been sick all week long ( nasty sick too) but is finally starting to feel better.  Haven’t seen him in a bit, so it will be nice to hang out.  Not sure if puppy is still getting neutered this week or not.. I miss puppy.  Last night I got him to sit just through speakerphone!  …..we are lame.

 

If I Say It Here..

There is too much sugar in my tea.  It is very good tea, I’m just bad at making the adjustment from gigantic mugs to more normal sized ones.. The radio3 website is also having a hard time streaming on my laptop.  Are these those white middle-class problems I keep hearing so much about? Well, I don’t think I qualify as middle-class, so you’ll permit me to whine a little more. (like it would stop me anyways..)

I said I didn’t make any resolutions but I have decided on one:  more dance.  Any dance, really, but I have been doing some research and found a drop-in studio nearby that has ballet, modern, AND tap!  It’s also not ridiculously expensive, so it might just work..  I just have to get a few things like new elastics for my ballet shoes, and maybe some dance appropriate pants.  I miss dancing so much, and I say that all the time but never do anything about it.  I also need to start exercising again in general, and this is the perfect way to start!

Ooh, today is my day off!  Plans?  Umm, sitting around in my bathrobe, watching netflix, eating chocolate, and going to bed early..I open tomorrow.  Woohoo!

Stolen Funny From Amy Darling’s Tumblr

Tuesday Morning

In my defense, I tried to blog last night, but it never published…then it disappeared…then when I tried to retype the entry, there were no words appearing on the screen…
As for the last few months…I just been lazy.

While I don’t like to make resolutions for the sheer fact that then I’ll feel even worse looking back over my pathetic list of accomplishments, I do want to blog more, and I’ll do my best to make that happen.

I even got a little lesson in photography yesterday/was allowed to use the big fancy camera, so hopefully the quality of my pictures will be much improved as well! They will potentially be all of puppy…but he’s a pretty handsome model so who could complain about that?

Waking Up Strong In The Morning

Alright kids, I suppose I should be updating this thing at last.  Ottawa’s been treating us pretty well.  Work is going well for both myself and Tammy.  Things are about to get crazy with school starting and us being right on campus (and at the bottom of a residence building..) but I’m a little excited for that…a little terrified too, don’t get me wrong, but it’ll be nice to not be standing around all the time, or searching out odd jobs to do or random surfaces to wipe down out of boredom.  Two more new people were hired a week or two ago and a couple more are still to be hired I think, which is nice in that it makes Tammy and I feel a lot less like the new kids.

In other news, I has a fella..  Yeah.  How bout that?  We have, as of today, been dating for a month.  A record for me, haha.  It’s going well though, he’s sweet.  Good for showing me around the city too, he’s lived in Ottawa all his life so I’m getting the run down on all his favourite places.

We have the keys to our new apartment downstairs now, and some stuff is gradually being moved down there.  It’s like we have two apartments at the moment, kinda fun.  We’re all pretty excited to move down there.  I am, anyways!

Now all I need is the money situation to pick up a bit, then we’ll be laughing!

 

What You’re Gonna Do Stick Around

First shift tomorrow!  A job in a city I live in, wowee!  Following up on that apartment news I mentioned last time, the deal is done, and come the end of August we will be moving a whopping one floor downstairs!  The apartment below us has been empty since before we moved in, so when the landlord-ish dude was over fixing our oven, we asked if we could take a look at it.  He gave us applications to fill in, cause why not?  The next day we got a call saying the place was ours if we wanted it, bring first and last month’s rent to this office downtown, sign some forms etc.  So yeah…that was quick.  Despite how unsure and non-commital we were all feeling, like a month ago, we do like Ottawa so far, and having jobs is definitely nice, so yeah.  We”re sticking around.

Nice to have that stability, though it also brought a huge amount of added financial stress having to pay deposits when you have no money…  Trying to keep thinking about the job though.  Money will be coming soon.

When 24 Turns 25

It’s been a weird week.  Eventful.  Some events better than others.

Tammy and I interviewed at a coffee shop very close to our place, and got hired, which is a big relief.  So far we’re just doing online training this week, which is kinda dull and somewhat frustrating…but amusing in it’s corniness as well.  We should probably be starting in the shop next week.

We may have found a place to live here in Ottawa past the summer…but I think I’ll go into that more later once it’s finalized. (such a tease)

It was my birthday yesterday.  I wasn’t really in that much of a celebrating mood, to be honest, and didn’t plan anything or whatever, but my lovely roommates took me out for a delicious burger, and then we came back home and drank a bunch of cider, played some cards, and tried to keep my spirits up haha.

I’ve got something going on now that has just put a pit in my stomach, and I don’t know if it will be resolved…but I really hope so.  Sorry to be all vague and emo, but this is pretty much taking up all the space in my mind now.

I am so lame, even when good things happen, there’s always something else to mope about.
