Day 12

Last night we played badminton with everyone at the school. It was a lot of fun but my shoulder and bum hurt today.

I ran for another kilometer today :D tomorrow is my rest day. yay.

Tonight we are having a dinner party for one of the nurses because she is leaving tomorrow. Too bad because she seemed really nice last night when she was my partner for badminton.

I have had an awfully intense craving for chocolate all week. I miss those chocolate covered jujubes sooo badly! And I want to stuff my face with those chocolate cherry things dad and I love so much. Damn you, sugar addiction!

I am getting rather sick of wearing the same clothes over, and over, and over. I think the people here are starting to think I'm poor and gross lol. Because they see me wearing the same outfits all the time. Thank God mom is going to the thrift store for me tomorrow.

Dad told me on the phone tonight that I could have flown to Florida for the same price it cost me to end up here. I definitely think I took the wrong flight... and next time I'm going to Florida.

When I went for my run today it was 1 degree C out. I must have looked silly running in my winter coat. I really want to get a new pair of running shoes but Austin doesn't trust me with his credit card. He claims that he wants to keep it on him at all times in case he ever needs it. Yea, like he is ever going to need it here. I'm not that dumb.

That's all I have to say for now. Miss you all! HUGS

Day 11

No word from Joan yet about the job. Hm...

Today I was bad and I slept in until 11:30, then I fell asleep on the couch until 2:30 so I got a full 12 hours of sleep. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning, and yea dad I know that's bad for me! I'm going to try doing Austin's workout with him today, which I'm sure isn't easy.

I hope you like the new background and layout of the blog. I thought it was more summery and cheery.

There's not much else to talk about so far, since I've slept most of the day. Have a good hump day!

Yay Me!!!

So I just got back from my run and I am so stinkin proud of myself! I ran a full kilometer without stopping! I didn't think I could do it but somehow I did! I was out for a full hour. I walked a km then ran one then walked 2. WooHoo!! So yea... I just wanted to brag about that cuz its a big thing for me :D

Day 10

Today we walked out to a place that's apparently a good fishing spot. It took about 30 mins to walk to it then we stayed there while Austin saved minnows that were left on the bank from the tide going down. He made some more raisin bread today and of course, it's delicious.

After he goes to work at 4:00 pm I'm going to do my dreaded run. I walk for 2 km, then run 1 km, then walk another 2 km. I'm almost certain that I can't run a full km but I'm going to try my hardest. Austin's co-worker, Wendy, said the prizes are usually exercise equipment like treadmills and weight sets for this weight loss competition and I want to win so bad! I have been doing alright with my eating. I still get mad sugar cravings though. But I know the less sugar you eat the less you crave it. Wish me luck!

Yesterday I made another 4 cards. I need a show box or something to keep them in because I seem to be producing more than I'm mailing. Austin thinks I'm nuts because yesterday I got a 10 pack of stamps and today I only have 3 left...

Hope everyone is enjoying their day! Miss you all and tty tmo.

this is Scruffus. She's so cute!!

Here are some puppies we found on out walk today.

Boreddddd

So my interview went well. It was only 30 mins and they sounded imperssed with my intelligent answers. they asked me questions like what does confidentiality mean to me, what I thought of the area, how flexible am I for work hours, and the infamous strengths and weaknesses question. She said that she would check out my references, Tammy, Leanne and Stacy from Tim Hortons, and get back to me in the next couple of days. I'm not sure if she actually read through my resume because she asked me for references and I had to show her that they were on the bottom of my resume...

If I get offered the job I do a week of orientation, and there is another girl that they are looking at so I would be doing the orientation with her.

So now I'm back at the apartment and I'm bored. At least I have the internet. Here are some photos I took just cuz.

this is a card for Gran I made yesterday

here is another one

Our camera has a drawing setting so this is Austin kissing the guns.

Et moi

Day 9

I just wanna start this off with HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO LYNN BUTLER. I'm sorry I'm not there to hold her hair tonight.

Sorry I missed yesterday. The internet here was down. I wasn't a happy camper because the internet is my complete source of entertainment, and here you need a lot of entertainment. but I didn't do anything yesterday really, just a lazy Sunday. We walked to the hospital and back, which was 30 mins, then I walked another 2 km in the afternoon, and I did some yoga.

Austin is working the evening shift from 4 to midnight this week, so we slept in today and went out for breakfast. I wanted to get pancakes, but they were out... so I got french toast instead. Yea DAD I KNOW THAT'S BAD FOR ME. hahaha. It was yummy tho so mnahhh. But we are definitely having chicken salad for dinner. Definitely.

So I am about to leave for my interview at the hospital and I am suuuuper nervous! I will post later to say how it went.

Last night I did something that was really hard for me to do. I called Lynn and told her that Aus and I weren't getting a house anymore so they would have to find a place on their own. Lynn said she was ok with it but I could tell in her voice that I had let her down a lot. I hate how much of a hypocrite I am. I was so worried about her and Jeff ditching out on our plans, then it turns out that I'm the one that did it. But they were so worried about applying for his work visa in time because they needed to know where they were living before they could apply. I knew that we would not be finding a house soon, so I figured that this might lower their anxiety by putting them in control of their own accommodations. I also gave Lynn the contact info for the apartments right beside her college, and we can transfer our phone and internet to them so they don't have to worry about that. we also have lots of stuff they can borrow from our jam-packed storage area. So I hope they are a little less stressed now.

Well that's all I have to say for now, I will make another post this afternoon to let you know how my interview went. And happy Monday!!

Day 7

One week. Wow, now only 15 more to go lol.

We are having a very blah day here today. Even though it's national scrapbook day, I kid you not, I'm not doing any scrapbooking. I have 5 cards in my purse to mail out Monday and making those yesterday tired me out of it for the weekend.

We just got back from the Northern store, which looks like a Giant Tiger on the inside, but a lot more cramped and expensive. It is about the size of Stedman's in Gore Bay and they sell everything from flat screen tv's to boxes of jello, and everything in between. We bought a big roast pan for $35, instead of a slow cooker for $130. I feel bad that I forgot to grab the slow cooker from the cupboard in the microwave stand. That was one of the things Aus wanted me to make sure I had and in the insanity of the move I totally forgot.

TTy tmo !
