So I have food poisoning. Sucks. Today's the first day I can keep food down, and all I had all day was a sandwich and some soup!! On the bright side, I lost 10 lbs. Yay.
So I've given myself until the end of May to sort out my finances. And by that I mean pay my credit cards. Well, most of them. That way, all I'll have to pay will be the car, insurance, and my phone. Yeah, that adds up to about $550 a month. I figure if I can pay off at least most of my cards, I can start paying for the courses I want. And they all start at the end of May, beginning of June. So that's my goal. Hopefully it'll work!! Cross your fingers!!
So looking forward to a few things. Robin's bday in April. Might be going to a concert in Rochester the weekend after that. Meeting Ela's new boy. Maybe he'll bring a friend? And then camping!! Yay, Sauble. It better kick ass.
Ocean?? I've gotta plan that. Now that it's up to me, really, because I have a car, I will deff be going!!!! Anyone wanna come??
Also, I think I'm gonna talk to that boy at work. It's about time. I'm getting tired of just staring at him. He stares back, which is nice. I'm just worried that he's staring because I have a big piece of food on my face or something, not because he's interested. But meh, we'll see. Maybe tomorrow?? If he's in. I'll say "hi". It's a start!!

This was supposed to be a fairly short update...
So I got a car. It's a 2005 Dodge Caravan. Yes, a soccer mom car, but one that I actually wanted. I'm happy with it. It cost a little more than I wanted, but you know, it's worth it. I love it!! I picked it up about two weeks ago, so it's still fairly new. Feels like I've had it forever, though. I mean, I had the crappy car for about a month, so that might be why it feels so long.
Anyways, the crappy car didn't work out. It apparently needed way more work than I cared to do. So I figured I'd buy a used car. But seriously, to me, a 2005 van with only 62k on it doesn't count as used. It feels pretty freaking new to me!!!
So yeah, I've been driving around everywhere and everyone. That's gonna change a little, because I'm tired of being a taxi to ppl at work. Gas is too high, and I don't like the person enough to do her any favours. So no more driving people home!!!
So yeah, Nelson got a job. Unfortunately, he starts at 6:15 am. So now I'm driving him every morning. So far, I've been driving him and then coming back home and sleeping for another hour. But it's not doing me too much good, the extra sleep actually makes me more tired and has been giving me some headaches. And then Robin came up with a solution, which my mom loves, and may actually work: me and my mom both go drop off Nelson, and then we go to the gym. Three times a week (mon, wed, fri). They have classes at 6:15, and I'd still have time to take a shower get ready and eat something and get to work on time.
So yeah, hopefully that will work. I know I've tried the gym first, but this time, I don't have to motivate myself to get up and go. I'll already be up and out of the house, I don't really get a choice. Well, I do, but I'm not mean enough to make Nelson take the bus and have to leave at like 5 am. So this may work. We're starting it on monday, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
So I'm already into the May 2-4 camping planning. Finally, after trying to all these years, I've convinced everyone to go to Sauble!! Well, mainly because I made an event saying I'm going to Sauble, and ppl are welcome to join me. I can drive me there now, so it doesn't matter if ppl agree. Jess and Ela are in my car, so we'd have a good time regardless. But so far, 10 people have let me know they're coming for sure, so it's not too bad.
I'm buying a tent tomorrow. It's smaller than the one I had last year, which works better because the last one was too big and really, I'm not tall enough to need that much room. Tents are on sale at half price, and I know which one I'm getting!! So now I'm happy.
Also, there's this guy at work that I'm super in love with. He's new, and I so just love to watch him. It's kinda funny, actually. He walks by and I kinda just get distracted, even if I'm mid-sentence, and just stare.
I'm also planning a few things this summer. My mom saw a suspended bridge in one of the "Discover Ontario" commercials, and she decided that she absolutely has to see it. So I looked it up, and it's like 20 km from Thunder Bay. So I've got Ela to agree to be my second driver, and the plan is up to Tobermory for the Ferry, over to the bridge, camp overnight, see the Aurora, and then drive back. We might stay two night, though, there's a mine that lets you go and find your own amethyst, so I kinda wanna do that. On the way back, though, we're gonna drive through Sudbury, 'cause apparently there's some big nickel thing that we're gonna stop at. And then home.
I want to plan a third camping trip. I already have two planned (May 2-4 and Pat's bday), and I want to go a third time. I know me and Jack had planned a canoe camping trip, but I have doubts on if ppl will want to come. I'm pretty sure I can convince a few, so we'll see how that goes. If not, I'm thinking Pancake Bay. maybe for an extended long weekend??
But yeah, I also want to go to the ocean. But I may leave that for later, once the summer is gone and it's getting colder. Yeah, I know, I want to go to way too many places. But oh, well. I'll get to them all eventually!!
So I'm also gonna be starting the Marketing certificate at UofT's Continuing Ed. dept. pretty soon. Not sure of the exact dates. I'm also gonna be doing a Strategic Communications certificate. I'm looking forward to doing them. It's gonna cost quite a bit of money, but I think it's worth it.
Oh, yeah, and I'm also waiting on test results for what may be a stomach ulcer. Don't know much about those, but hopefully it'seasy to treat. I also may have something wrong with my appendix (or a cyst), so we'll have to see how that goes. Or maybe it's nothing and I just get random useless pains and weird symptoms. I'm special, you know.
So yeah, that's about it with my life right now. And I think it's bedtime for me. Nighty night!!
