TELL ME WHAT ELEPHANT GAVE YOU HICKEYS.


I had no idea that taking care of the pets in my house took so much effort.  I usually only have my cat to take care of, but since my family is in Saskatchewan this weekend I have to take care of all of them!  For some reason we have 3 dogs, a cat, a tank of fish, and a bird... When you’re only used to taking care of a cat who requires little attention, it’s quite the change to remember that all the other pets need to actually be fed... You can’t just leave the food out, you actually have to put food in the bowl for them!  I have decided when I get my own place I will have one dog and one cat... and that is IT.  I have no desire to have fish or birds or anything, just a cat and a dog and I’m set.
I’m attempting to save what little money I have to get some new rock climbing gear!  I used to have shoes and a chalk bag and everything, but that was a while ago and I cannot find either of them.  I need new shoes anyway cause I doubt the old ones would fit even if I could find them.  I found about $300 worth of stuff at Mountain Equipment Co-op (my dad’s favourite store), and I’m really hoping it won’t take long to come up with the money!  But, when you only make $800/month it takes a lot longer than you would think.
I also went to yet another specialist and he suggested acupuncture.  I’ve gone a few times and it helps a bit, but not for very long and it’s $60/visit so I don’t want to have to keep paying for things that only help for like a day!  I guess it’s time to make another GP appointment and find yet another specialist to go see.  Woot.

THEY LET ME WALK INTO A CLOSET.


NDP ads on YouTube. Seriously?


I find it ridiculous that political parties are now advertising on YouTube. It’s broadcast yourself, not your politics. I’m not a fan of product and service ads either, but political ads are taking it too far. I honestly could care less about politics... All the parties suck. When you go to vote you really are choosing the lesser of the evils. There is no real stand out winner to pick, all of them have issues and all of them lie and make promises they can’t keep! I prefer to keep my social media and video streaming sites politic-free!


Anywaaay, speaking of YouTube... I’m thinking of starting a VLOG. Yeah. I’ll obviously keep this blog going too, but I miiight try my hand at making videos! If you guys have any ideas for blog posts (or future vlog posts), let me know please!

I went to see another specialist last week. You would think it wouldn’t take a million years to figure out what is wrong with me, but nope... Still no answers. There can not be THAT many things to rule out before we come to a diagnosis! I mean it’s been a year and a half and I still have yet to find any relief... I mean you try not having a pain free day in a year and a half and still be all happy and not frustrated with the entire planet! Too much stress and I don’t like it.


God this is a depressing rant of a blog post! I promise I’ll post some less angry posts sometime soon. ;)


On another note:

My boyfriend is super awesome and helped his crippled girlfriend take a bunch of bottles to the bottle depot! We got a whole $8.35 back from that... And then we promptly spent most of it on an energy drink and some mountain dew. He’s pretty much what keeps me going. He always tells me everything will work out and be okay and gives me a massage when I need one (which is pretty much 24/7). I really don’t think I could survive without his awesomeness. :)


And on yet another note:

The rogers video store by my house (that shut down because Netflix is cheap and sooo much easier), will be turning into a fabric store! I’m excited because then I won’t have to drive like 20km to get fabric and I might actually start sewing again!


I’m going to challenge myself and try to buy all my clothing from a thrift store for the next 6 months! I’m going to do that so I can be über hipster and find stuff that no one else has. And when that fabric store opens I’m going to try to make some of my own clothing so that I’ll be super unique and have self made stuff that no one else can get!



Oh, and just because:



Today's nails! 'Cause they're pretty damn cute if I do say so myself :)
