It's been a helluva week and a bit. I write this post seated on the floor of my bedroom while in the midst of my last minute cleaning before I leave the apartment tomorrow afternoon.
I got the job at Deer Park Co-op and I start on Wednesday, October 4th. I'll be living at my aunt and uncle's in Red Deer while I get settled into the job and start looking for my own place. This will be the last post I make for a while as I don't know how often I'm going to get online after moving. I won't have internet at my relatives place so far as I know, so I'll be limited to access at net cafes and my parents house. Fortunately, the 'rents are only a 25 minute drive away from RD.
I've still got to wash the kitchen sink, floor, vaccuum the bedroom and clean out the fridge. I think I've got everything else pretty much done but it's still going to be a fair amount of work. So I guess I'd better stop stalling and get back to it.


Side note to my boy. I love you honey and just because I'm moving doesn't mean you're not going to get to talk to me as much. I'll find a way, don't worry. I love you.

Wish me luck everyone, I've got an interview with Deer Park Co-op in Red Deer on Wednesday at noon.


Also, this is slightly after the fact but I felt it amusing enough that I should post it anyways.
Roughly a week ago I went into the city to visit Erin at her new place for the first time and to pick up some paperwork needed for Apprenticeship schooling. On the drive back to Erin's apartment the two of us were up to our usual antics of singing badly at the top of our lungs, coming up with harebrained ideas and whatnot. We pull up to a red light, windows down and enjoying a good day. There's this guy beside us in a cloth top convertible minding his own business when all of the sudden Erin lets out this really loud squawk at the top of her lungs. Sort of a demon possessed chicken impression or something. I burst out laughing, doubled over the steering wheel. I look over at Erin to ask what it was all about and there's buddy in his car staring at us with the most confused look since he'd heard her through the convertible top. I just kinda grinned at him and then checked the light. Just as it turns green and we start driving away, I look back at buddy and there he is with this notebook up against the driver side window and in great big letters it says "WTF???" And of course this makes me crack up even more, so here we are driving down the road, I can hardly see since I'm laughing so hard and Erin's just happy as a clam because she wierded some random person out.
All in all it was a good day.

Whee! I have black fingernails! Love you Josh.

That is all.

Right, so I hate the Alberta Apprenticeship Board. Fuckers cancelled my contract. Again. Without letting me know. Again!! I sent an application in to NAIT for the second year apprenticeship training course and I got a call back from one of the ladies in the registrars office saying that she couldn't register me because I wasn't an eligable apprentice. Ok, so now I call the AAB only to be informed that my contract had been terminated and that I have to reapply yet again. Why the fuck does this always happen to me and why don't they bloody well tell me when it does!?!??? So I have to shell out another 35 bucks and sign another contract. And so help me God, if they cancel me again, I'm going after someone with a shotgun.
In the mean time, this has spawned plans to move back down to the Red Deer area. Which means that I'm going job hunting at the grocery stores. Wish me luck.

I've just gotten back from five days at my parents place and I've come to realize something. As much as my family may annoy me and piss me off, I miss them like crazy. I've been back in my apartment for about an hour and I'm sitting here crying my eyes out because it's quiet and I'm by myself and it sucks. I just got back into the rythym of living with seven other people and now I have to adjust to being alone again. Which is funny because I live in a building full of people and a town full of people and yet here I am, just little old me in my apartment. I really don't mind the solitude most of the time but I guess it's the feeling of being disconnected from family that gets to me.
I realize that alot of this is just my body telling me that it's still trying to finish up healing the damage from getting teeth pulled. But it still sucks. Leaving today took twice as long as I had estimated because the little kids had to give me hugs and kisses and tell me that they were going to miss me. It's hard to leave when Hayley's insisting that I have to stay because if I go she'll miss me. I didn't get to say goodbye to Catherine because she was gone to work on one of the local farms by the time I got up.
I'll get over this in a day or two but tonight's going to be rough.
Josh, I love you. I just wish you were here. I could really use a hug right now.
