Whattaday. Already. I have locked myself out of the cottage and matt had to "break in" to get my keys before 9 am. Then. On the way to Summerside I just about ran out of gas. I had to scrounge up change in Richmond so I could get home. All 3.70 of it :P And all because I left my purse at home last night with all of my money in it. Sigh.

Right now. Trying to find some part time work starting ASAP. Anybody have any great suggestions on that front?

Leslie just called and asked me to work for her tonight... argh. I wish she would have asked yesterday. I would have stayed up west and saved the gas money. Plus, I wouldn't have made plans for tonight. Grr, grr, grr. And the worst is that I can't afford not to go work. Arrrrrrrrgh.

Blah. Well, now I have to go soak my foot - I stepped on a nail the other day. And now my mom has me all freaked out about it. Apparently when I was little I got blood poisoning when I cut myself on a waterslide and it could happen again farily easily i guess :(

More later.

Sigh. Me and Leslie had a little fight today. I mean, not an all out battle but quite a significant disagreement in which she asked me to work for her and i refused and she got quite angry. Argh. Anyways, I came home today to pick jess up at work at 5. Mom and Dad headed off to the Mirimichi (spelling?) early this morning and since they didn't know if they would be coming home tonight, they asked me to be here with jess.

soooooooooooo tired. I need some major sleep. meant to have a nap when i got home, but there always seems to be something else going on. aw well. as an old friend used to say... "i'll sleep when i'm dead."

finished buying matt's birthday gift. i enjoy it :P now i just hope that he does....

Well, things seem to be 110 per cent better today than they were at the time of my last post :P I knew a silver lining was coming. There's always something good that happens for every bad thing I guess...

About Grampie. He is still taking it pretty hard and it is tough on everyone right now. The other day I stayed for supper and after everyone else ate and kind of dispersed through the house I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher and told him what a great supper it was... and he said he didn't know how many more he would have. But I mean, I don't know how many more *I* have, ya know. It's so hard to know what to say. But something good that has come out of it... for the first time in my life that I can remember he told me he loved me. I've taken to saying "I love you," every time I leave there, and it was so great to hear him say it back to me... :D He's pretty reserved with words like that...

Just found out that Arlene landed herself in the hospital tonight. Not a hundred per cent sure what's going on there... hopefully nothing too serious... can never tell tho, she had cancer a few years back and had a hysterectomy... *crossing fingers* that it isn't a recurrence. I don't know if the family could handle that right now.

On a brighter note, Lor and Dom made it home today. I didn't go in tonight to see them... I figure I will just go into work a little early tomorrow and stop in for a few minutes... Lor sent t-shirts home with jess for us... *sigh* they would be cute if we were all still 15, but hey it is the thought that counts. i.e. i'll try to be nicer if you try to be smarter... yeah that's *exactly* what i want plastered across my chest... lol...

So. Summing up the weekend tres quickly.

Friday - Spent most of the day at the cottage having a sex and the city marathon... patrick and cody stopped by for an hour or so... picked matt up from work at 11:30 or so and spent the night at his place

Saturday - Worked from 1-3. Hardly worth the effort of going in, eh? Spent the night a la cottage.

Sunday - Overslept :P Woke up at 12:30... Patrick was over around 1:30... then Leslie and Jessica showed up with Tyler and Steve... First time that all three of us have had boyfriends at the same time in the same room :P T'was interesting... Spent the night a la cottage again... lol...

And today, I finally tore myself away from O'leary and managed to make it back to Summerside by, um, 8:30 or so.

So, still going to Moncton on Wednesday... yay... don't have much cash but it should still be a good time...

Talking to Misty tonight... she's writing her MCATs on the 20th so I guess a bunch of people are going out in chtown that night... I haven't been out in chtown in ages... ooO plus she mentioned that she is applying to substitute this fall... so i was thinking about it and I think I might throw in an application myself. Why not? I always kinda thought I would like to teach and this would be a good way to see if it's really anything that I would like to pursue any further.

Anyways, I'm getting tired of rambling here tonight... G'night, sleep tight...

so this is august. it came in like a lion, i guess. found out monday that grampie has cancer. the big C. very difficult pill to swallow. i can't even fathom it yet. it's still pretty unreal.

arlene got in on monday. don't even know what to say about that. tried to see her a couple of times, but only spent about 5 minutes actually talking to her... about... yup you guessed it... the difference in gas price between PEI and Ontario. Ok. Whatever.

finding out that 75% of my extended family are as phony as could be. i don't know if i am just noticing more, the older i get or what, but i'm so sick of all their shit and don't want to put up with any of it anymore.

supposed to have tomorrow off... but i forgot i have a dentist appointment (gag me, it's gonna be like an hour and a half) and then i have to work for a couple of hours in the afternoon... and now i might possibly have to work on saturday... not that i really mind... i mean the extra hours are nice... but i like to know in advance how my schedule is going to work...

and to top it all off, my period started monday and i still feel *horrible* today.

i spent the last two nights at the cottage. being with matt was the only highlight to my otherwise horrible august thus far.
