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.
