This is why I can’t wait to go home

Yah! That’s me :)

So my gym membership expired on November 2, 2008. I haven’t been climbing once a week like I said I have. Looking back at that video and seeing how fit my back and shoulders were, make me miss it. But the climbing wall here is ridiculous and I honestly get annoyed at how small their facilities are. This city I live in now has 300,000 people living here. Back home there was a huge gym and only 120,000 people or so. They had a climbing gym off the high way, and it was torn down and now it’s a Greyhound Bus terminal. Sigh. I’ve been itching to get back at it. The wall here isn’t enough to keep an old man in shape. I should take photos next time I pop in and waste my $5.00.

They still make me nervous

No matter how often I go to a Dentist, they still freak me the frick out. I go to this one man who wears these creepy eye–goggles that look like magnifying glasses on his face, and he tells me every single last detail about what he’s going to do to me. Then proceeds to give me options about how he wants to do a filling on my tooth. Look buddy. I really don’t care how or why this needs to be done. Just don’t tell me what you’re doing and I’ll gladly count the dots on the ceiling like I’m used to doing in a Dentists chair for x number of years.

The other night after the Professional Development Day at work, I got dropped off by my awesome co–worker and had a few hours to spend at home (Dentists are open really late, here in Ontario!) before heading to tooth–hell. I always tense up in the chair, and then finally I’m wondering why my legs feel sore and I look down and see that they’re literally off the chair, holding them upright and somewhat flexed lol. HE’S FREAKIN ME OUT. My boss told me that her Dentist has a TV in front of each chair. I should suggest that to my guy, since all he does is talk. Or maybe one day I should really just tell him I don’t want to hear or know what he’s doing.

Have you ever seen the needle that they put in your gums right after you have that numbing cream put on? No? Well, it’s huge and makes me want to throw up. Why does he need to show me that? Why can’t he hide it from me!

I’m picking convenience over comfort here folks. I think that very well may need to change.

It’s always one thing after another. As soon as you feel fine and settled down and everything is back to normal, bam your happy scale (lol idk?) breaks. I’ve been feeling a bit stressed lately, and there’s no way of me the worry wart controlling it. I let it get the best of me and bring me down. I received some bad news that I cannot do anything about, and I’m nervous as hell over analyzing what’s next! I hate the waiting game. I know I’m being very vague, but it’s a private matter and I obviously don’t feel like spilling my guts here to all of my ‘many’ visitors (who do NOT leave comments! :P) to read. Everything would be so much easier if I had my own vehicle too. I know this doesn’t make sense to you, soo I’ll stop right there.

Half way through the work week

Wednesday, finally a day where I got to sleep in on a week day. Monday and Tuesday I’ve been waking up at 6:30AM or so. Something my body doesn’t really like, and I’m especially not a morning person. Wednesdays used to be my early days, since we usually have staff meetings but that’s been cut down to just bi–weekly meetings. Awesome. This week has been really messed up. Let me detail it out for you lol…

Monday: wake up reeeeeally early and go to Chiropractor across the street from my apartment for 7:30. Get a ride to work with a co–worker who also frequents the chiro. We arrive at work at 8:00. I work until 6:00 to make up some hours that I took off in late October.

Tuesday: Wake up somewhat later than previous day. Same co-worker (such a sweet older man) picks me up from my apartment so I don’t have to take a two hour bus ride to our Professional Development Day at another location other than work.

Wednesday: Back to my normal routine of waking up at 8:00AM and getting into work at a regular time. Successsss.

I’ve been reminiscing and going through old photo albums that I had on my photo page. Somehow, over half of my photos have been removed, and I see that the albums are now ’empty’. I e–mailed Pbase about it, but since I only had trial accounts they decided to delete and purge all of them. Thankfully, BFF may have a backup and might send me some old 2003/2004 photos. That’s the reason why they were stored ONLINE — so I wouldn’t lose them, and look what happens. This is the second time that Pbase has done this to me in a matter of a few months. Unnecessary drama folks!!

When I get enough motivation, I’m definitely going to go through all 400 million of my albums and save them onto a CD and maybe buy a Flickr account.

Sigh. Memories are gone.
