Just a Little Quickie ...

December 5, 2010 - 15:00

Feeling a bit of tension at "home". I'm really keen to get my own place, but I don't want to dive out of here so quickly that I jump without being ready to land. I'm just going to take things one day at a time and try to be calm and patient.

But, oh, I miss my things ... and my privacy. Granted, my roomies do their best, but I don't have that personal space unless they go somewhere without me ... or lock themselves in their room for a few hours. :) I'm a private person, and I have a certain way of doing things ... and I'm trying very hard not to impress my way on them. It's not my place.

November was a roller coaster month ... I came back to Alberta and was welcomed with joyous open arms. Spot and I have settled in and found our place amongst the others who are sharing their space with us. Took a couple weeks, but my old job finally came around and re-hired me ... on my happy first day at work, November 18, my Dad, Albert, passed. He had a very exhausting couple of years, and the last was worse than the rest. I hope he's found his peace, at last.

The memorial ... a Celebration of his Life ... was a wonderful time. Lots of laughing, lots of tears, and lots of memories. A lot of people who didn't get a chance to say good-bye.

In other news, my mother is making plans to get everything settled for herself ... and if I haven't gone insane by then, we'll find a place together. I think though, that she should stay with her sister for a long while and rest. We'll see.

On the bright side, I had an EXCELLENT PartyLite Party at Lavendar's ... she really is one of my best friends. She went all out and gave me my best party ever ... together, we reached over $1200 in sales. You SO have a train ticket coming to you, Lav. My thanks to my friends who pitched in what they could. I hope you'll book your own parties and get some free stuff for yourselves. ;)

Other good news ... my "day" job had a contest for the month of November. I didn't think too much of it because I came in on the 18th ... but you had to push 6 packs of Pepsi as you took orders ... and it would be judged by the # you sold per hour you worked. This could have been an advantage, but there were some who worked less hours than me, even. I got SECOND PLACE!! This equals a prize of $100 and a case of Pepsi product! WHOO! HOO! Thank you, Universe! Keep it coming!

I have to go to work now. Will try to write later!

Sweet Dreams!
