Silly midterms

Stats midterm is on Wednesday, and the prof has been having some serious trouble communicating the material. Great....

Day two of stats study-group today.... at least I have a handsome tutor!

Oh Thursday....

With Adam home sick for 2nd day in a row, and me not at 100%, today is not the best day in the world.

Poor Adam! I'm so sorry you're sick Hun. I know you hate to be sick. I love you and want you to feel better. Hugs!!

The next week is looking very busy. I have a studygroup, a midterm, work if I can use my arm tomorrow, and general life. Plus, I would love to get enough accomplished to be able to make Tina's BBQ on Sunday, so here's to hoping! And using my arm....

We have tickets to Cirque de Soleil tomorrow - I can not wait. After missing the Nutcracker the way I did, nothing short of hell on earth will make me miss this. I can't wait to go!

So Adam got me into watching Dexter Season 3, and it was pretty awesome, I must say. I loved it. Which is surprising since I couldn't stand to make it through Season 1. Go figure.

Told my grandmother about the wedding, and she was pleased. Step 1 done.

Fox renewed my new fav shows - Dollhouse & Chuck. I really hope the rest of you get into them b/c they rock!

Okay - off to the day I go.

Dislocated ribs? Think again!

Hello all!

So I woke with what I thought was a dislocated rib. Guess what? There is no such thing, according to my family doctor and 2 emergency doctors.

Anyway, I headed to the chiropractor, thinking he would fix me up. He was a complete quack! (A quack-o-practor is what I call him). All he did was NOT crack anything and HIT my ribs with some sort of hammer. Uh... Mr Quack? That's not helping.

So I got home and called my GP back, and got right in to see her. She said I needed to go to the ER, so off I went. After X-Rays, blood test and a CT, and (yet again) they don't know what's wrong with me. So they sent me home and told me to come back in the morning if it's not better. (it hasn't been better in 3 days, so why would it be tomorrow morning after the day I've had?) And on top of it all, they had given me dilotted (sp?) and it didn't affect me at all, so they forced me to bring some home, despite the fact that it did nothing for me. I don't think that's how drug control is supposed to work.

So I'm at home and now what? Argh. This year sucks.

P

Ow!

Yeah - so I woke up on Sunday with a dislocated rib. Meh?!?!? I didn't even know that was possible! It hurts so very much, and prevents me from breathing normally. Bleh! The last two days have sucked!

So I'm heading to the chiropractor this morning to have it re-set. I am NOT looking forward to this. I have avoiding those people my whole life because they scare the crap out of me. Whoa - this is going to be SUCH a fun day.

*whimper*

Otherwise, life is uneventful. My schedule is crazy busy, and there is nothing I can do about it. Dangnabbit.

I thought sunny days were supposed to be happy days? I miss the rain!

P

Stranger Things....

Okay, so. I get the mail today and there is a letter for me from the Provincial Court.

Uh..huh? What? WTF? I didn't do anything! I swear. Oh wait... did I? I don't know. Crap!

So I open it.

And it's a cheque. For me! From them! Not a bill? Is this right? Hmmm. Read the letter.

Okay! I overpaid my parking tickets, so they sent me my $5.00 back! Score!

Who knew? Maybe every once in awhile the system isn't completely screwed up.

Mark this occasion in the calender!

So the long weekend has come and gone. But yet, we didn't get camping. It rained all weekend, and was very cold. And with the amount of studying I had to do, it just didn't seem to make sense. Plus, I wasn't in the best of moods this weekend.

I had a night out from hell Friday night. Turns out that the restaurant we went to has bitch owners who don't seem to care if they make people sick. So after getting into it with the bitch owner, I went home and left Tina and Adam to go see Star Trek themselves. Needless to say, my mood for the weekend wasn't 100%.

Another weekend for camping then!

I did get to see Angels & Demons though. It's been getting mixed reviews, but I really liked it. We managed to fit in The DaVinci Code through the weekend too (one of my favs).

The study-load has been horridly heavy, and isn't about to ease up any time soon. I'm afraid I'll be passing on a lot of social opportunities for the next little while. That's likely for the best anyway; I'm finding that there is a little too much going on with too many people, and I don't want to get swallowed up by any of it; it's hard enough trying to find the time to enjoy my own.

I think I would like to, for once, just want to sit back and go through a routine for a little while. It's something I could really use right now, with all the schoolwork and wedding planning, so it seems like the perfect time.

I think it's time I took some time to enjoy this time of my life with Adam. Although no one seems to care all that much, we're getting married next year, and that's a huge deal for us.

I keep hearing things like "Oh, I'm so happy for you! It's just that....", and "That's wonderful! What's the rush, you have so much time to plan...". And, in the same breath they use to congratulate me, the woes of everyone I tell.

I care about everyone, but right now, I want to indulge in our happiness. Go swimming in it. Frolic in it. Roll around and play in it.

Oh.... the mental picture. hehe

I googled 'frolic' and this is what I got. Adorable! -->


I'm a bride, and I am going to take some time to enjoy that, and indulge in planning the very event I've been waiting 28.5 years to plan.

(No, I will never admit, in 1.5 years, how old I am. Even if this blog makes it into a court of law.) Shhhhhh!

I can't wait for Maren to get here so I have someone to do all the girly wedding stuff with. I'm damn near doing a countdown!

You get the idea.

Adam's bro is staying with us this week. And his nephew too! I'm looking forward to meeting them later tonight/tomorrow.

Time to get cleaning!

What a day yesterday!

Worked in the morning.
Procrastinated and studied in the afternoon (plus got to chat with Alice!)
Class last night
Supper at 930 pm!!!
Sleep at 1030

Then up to work today.
So tired. I want a nap. But I have so much class work to do!

Getting a little nervous about the $$ I need to shell out for Ellen's wedding. I'm barely getting through with what I need on EI, plus working part-time. As it stand, by the time the alterations and stuff are done to my dress, it'll be over $300.00, plus an easy $200 more for everything else. It's so much.... I'm starting to get really concerned. I knew when she asked me (I was super honored!) that it would be around $300 ish, but it's getting high now, and I'm making less than half of what I was then. It's causing me some severe anxiety.

Nice sunny day out today. I can't wait to go camping this weekend. It looks like Adam and I will be camping by ourselves this summer, but I'm cool with that. There's lots of places to go!

Okay... must go study. Argh.

~P

Oy!

This is me right now.
I don't wanna!!

I talked to Alice today. Where is everyone lately? No FB threads, no calls. It's been so freakishly silent.
Hello? ... o? .... o? (that's me trying to do an echo)

DONTWANNASTUDY

Oy

The new bedroom looks amazing! Just wonderful! I can't wait to show it off!

Started stats yesterday, and I'm now actively involved in Biology. I have no idea what I got myself into, because I'm already swimming in a ton of work! Needless to say, I will have no social life for a little while. I wanted it, I'm thrilled I have (I'm an official Dal student!!), but I have a ton of work to do. Hours and hours and hours of it. (yay!! but damn. But yay!!!!)

Saturday

We're painting our bedroom today! Yay!

Hopefully I'll get a pic posted for people to see.

Also bought my very first BRAND NEW Dalhousie University textbook. Woohoo!!

Dark day outside, hopefully it'll rain a bit so the muggy feeling goes away.

Fate TRIED to let me slap people....

Okay, so yesterday I was very ticked off and upset. And I was looking for bad drivers to slap ~ sort of.

Anyway (!!) Some jerk parked in front of our garage bay entry/exit doors for approx. 45 minutes. Jerk off. So someone in the work of Fate Management was reading my blog yesterday.

BUT.... a very angry cab driver got to him first. It was still a little fun to watch though.

Ah the cosmic balance of things. Smiles.

Break from breaking

Supportive friends rock. I'm glad I have them. It's too bad I can count them on one hand.

Silver lining? I still have a free hand left to slap with. Hmmm... okay.... somebody cut my off while I'm driving! It's time to get my slap-on!
