Today was the first real “work” day I’ve had in a while.  I finally added the Broker Services page to the MedBiz site.  I got a fax from Jacob today with the signed contract for the new OnCalls work, so thank god, I’ll be able to pay my truck note in three weeks! I was getting SERIOUSLY nervous about that!  Also, I’m hoping that Larry Sciacchetano gets back to me soon about the Oil Field Trader website so that I can get that money from him as well.  I have a feeling I’m about to get swamped with work and I’m really going to try not to spend all the money as soon as I get it. I need to learn to handle my money differently or I’ll never get anywhere!

I’m tired and feel like going back to bed.  Hell, I just got up about 4 1/2 hours ago, but I am sleepy already.  Maybe it’s cuz I’ve not eaten anything except a few Pringles and haven’t put in my contacts or taken a shower yet. 

I finally faxed the letters that Quebec immigration asked me for from my employers and stuff.  I faxed 16 pages to them, so hopefully, they’ll be satisfied with that.  I wonder how long it’ll be before I hear from them.

The Christmas party for AmeriSource was actually pretty cool – after a few glasses of wine.  I met Mihai (sp?) and his wife, who’s from Transylvania – how cool!  I’m a schmuck cuz I can’t remember her name!  We’re supposed to have dinner with them on Sunday, which I think will be cool.

I was quite sorry for the wine the next day, though, as I had a HUGE headache and had to sit in the hospital for two hours with Manon because she got another attack of Vertigo.  I tried to tell her that it’s because she’s been smoking again and she won’t listen.  Then, she pointed out to me how it says that smoking can cause Vertigo on the side of her cigarette pack.  I wonder when she’ll wise up and actually WANT to quit.

I was just thinking to myself yesterday how the whole Bonnie thing was pretty much over in my head.  After having talked to her a few months back on AIM and stuff and realizing that she’s really not doing anything in life except being a breeder, I finally realized that I’m not missing anything there.  I knew it in my head already, but my heart wasn’t exactly getting the full message.  I had a dream about her last night.  In the dream, her mom was seriously whacked out and we went to the store to get some things for her.  Bonnie kept trying to kiss me and stuff and I wanted to kiss her but wouldn’t because Manon was somewhere near and I didn’t want to a) get caught and b) to be kissing on my ex when I’m with someone else.  Weird fucking dreams.  I dunno why I have those sorts of dreams anyway.

I’ve decided that I want to be a crafty person.  I want to find a used sewing machine and learn how to make curtains and pillows and cool stuff like that.  I doubt I’ll ever get into making clothes or anything like that, but it’d be cool to be able to make my own bedding and stuff like that.

I can’t WAIT to get out of this apartment!  I had the way the rooms (mostly the computer room and kitchen) are cut and it’s so damned expensive.  But, while we’re here, I’m going to try to make it home.  It doesn’t even smell like us yet, so I gotta get to work!  🙂

Anyway, I gotta get a shower and get dressed cuz I think we’re going to Galeries d’Anjou to get Manon’s lens for her glasses.

Ciao.
