Slow ride

Scattered, yes, but some of it makes (more) sense if you listen to Dry Shave (or you are Dry Shave).

First off, I have not been ignoring anybody. I have been reading the comments, I have just been extremely busy and extremely tired. Busy I can't do anything about but the tiredness it's seriously been on the extreme side. I've been to the doctor, I've had the blood taken, a whole shit tonne of it, and I'm just waiting to find out what's wrong with me. It's not normal to sleep 13 hours, soon I shall be finding out why.

Anyway, the sleeping and being busy haven't left much time for much else, like the interwebs.

I have no idea what is going on with Tyson. He's in his new foster home and hiding and I'm waiting to hear from the foster home when I can meet him and find out if he's the cat for me. I honestly have no idea what's up.

A few thoughts:

1. I firmly believe that couples need to have seperate bedrooms. Old fashioned, perhaps, but I sleep much better alone. Not that it's not even currently an issue for me, Bill is the only boy I'm sleeping with and he doesn't really take up much room and he doesn't snore or steal the blankets. I seriously think it's a relationship saver. The seperate bedrooms, not the cat snuggles, though they help.

2. I want to be a bartender when I grow up.

3. I lost the thought. It was there but being as tired as I am it's all I can do to remember how to do basic things like dress myself.

I'm currently in the process of adopting this little guy. I'm just waiting for his foster mum to call me so I can go meet him.

In a painful way

This weekend I learned two things:

1. I don't like wine nearly as much as I used to.
2. organic wine may not give me a migraine but I still don't feel too hot.

I used to be a wine drinker. I was a lover of red wine. I was never going to be a master sommelier, but I really loved wine.

One day wine turned on me.

Suddenly, without warning, red wine would give me migraines. I could have half a glass and I'd be in agony. People have been telling me for ages that I should try organic wine, that it wouldn't cause a migraine. This weekend I bought a bottle.

I think I'll stick to beer.

One of the major differences I have noticed between Vancouver and Calgary is the lack of retail websites. In Vancouver the corner store has a website, in Calgary it's rare to find a retail website for local shops. It is extremely annoying. When a store does have a website it generally sucks.

I really hope Calgary hope Calgary retailers get on the electronic revolution bandwagon soon.

Trigger For Happiness

I think I'm sitting at a crossroads.

I may have an opportunity to change careers. To go down a path that I have wanted to explore for quite some time. It means not being an administrative drone anymore. It means stepping into the unknown. It means making a choice.

One of the things I have noticed about getting older is that it becomes harder and harder to leave the comfort of the familiar. I know what I want to do. I know what I am likely to do. I also know that I am going to spend a good deal of time agonizing over the decision and that's the part that gets harder as I get older.

I can see both paths very clearly. I know that if I jump at this chance I will have to put other goals on hold for awhile. I don't know if I'm willing to do that. At the same time, if I don't jump at this chance I may never get another go, or at least not one that's pretty much handed to me on a platter.

If the job offer is serious, I really want to jump at it. I just need to figure out if I have the balls to do it.

It's a fact!

Odd fact:

The number one search word to find my blog in the last two weeks is lolercopter.

For reals.

WTF?

I'm back from Vegas!

It was a good trip but I'm glad to be home. Vegas is absurd. There is no other way to describe it.

It was lovely to see my parents, but I have decided if we ever take another family vacation we will have seperate rooms. My mum is the kind of person that likes to have the TV on for no real reason, even if she's not watching it and I am the type of person that hasn't plugged in my TV since I moved into my apartment 6 months ago.

I gambled, I saw stuff, I went on almost every ride there was to go on, I spent money, I won money, I lost a little, I walked a lot, fought with my parents a bit. It was a typical family vacation.

Once I have managed to not be so damn tired I hope to tell some tales of my adventures.

And as I promised Jasmin, my new Coach handbag:
