Monica's Online Journal: January 2005
I'm quite sad today. :-( We have to get rid of little Zim. :*-( He is peeing all over the house and we can't afford to spend all the money to get him neutered then him still do it. I'm very sad about this. I feel it's my fault for not pushing to get him fixed sooner. I wanted him to go to the Pembroke vet cause they were good. I guess we ended up waiting too long. He'd be a good outdoors cat. I wish we could give him away to a good family that had a farm or something. Every time I look at Zim now I get sad. I'll talk to Ben when he gets home and see what he thinks. But he's already ready to bring the cat to the humain society.
Well, no much new, I've been working. I've had 3 shifts now since my leave of absence. All 8 hour shifts. A little long for my liking, but I'm to start school in two weeks so I won't be working as much. I'm kind looking forward to that. Maybe going to school will help me.
As for the camera from cotsco, I didn't get it. And it's a good thing too, cause when we got to the cash we had to ring in everything on the same bill, and they didn't take visa! On the other hand though They have lots of books, and lots of language learning stuff! I went nuts!! But I didn't buy any of them. I only bought one book, and I'm actually quite happy I did. It's a really good workbook on dealing with bi-polar. and it was on ly 17$ as opposed to the original price of 40$.
I finally got my membership card for the minto recreational center. My two female roomates and I all went to the pool the other day and went swimming. it's was great. It's a really fun way to do exercise. We played Volley-ball (kind of). It was fun. I'm acutally quite surprised, cause lately it's been rare to find something I actually enjoy doing. I think we are going to the pool again today. I'm acutally looking forward to it.
AM:
I'm so glad I've got my book now (The Hole in the Universe). It's such a good book. Anyone into philosphy/physics should read it. It's a book about "nothing". I've started working on the physics part of my site. It's kind of hard however for me to distinguish where the line is between physics and philosophy. So I'm probably gonig to be starting my philosophy section soon too. Hopefully I'll have them mostly done by the end of this month. I'll probably be putting my school notes on the site too, seeing as how I'm going to be taking physics and philosophy classes next month.
I'm excited about going to Cotsco today. It's a huge bulk store apparently. My roommates bought memberships and they are allowed to bring one guest each. So we are planning a trip for this afternoon. Last night one of them was on the net looking up at whatkind of stuff they sell, and they even sell digital cameras! I'm planning on buying one. I found the one I want. It has 5 mega pixels, 4 optical zoom, 5 digital zoom, LCD display on the back, takes up to 80 mins of video (depending on the size of the memory card), takes I beleive 1120-1170 size pics, comes with rechargeble batteries, and a recharger, also comes with a docking bay and a carry case. The only thing I need to buy I think in the memory card which can be expensive, but considering that the camera comes with all that other stuff for just 389.99. I think that's pretty good. Now I'm still debating on whether or not I should buy it. I just paid off my visa, and I've been wanting one for a really long time. But I was kind of hoping to save up a little before I bought one. I also wanted to save up some money for school as well. I guess I'll see what happens at the store. Maybe I'll wait, maybe I'll buy it right away, I don't know.
Well, I should probably get started on my day, have breakfast get dressed, do dishes.....
Well, today and yesterday were much more productive days. Yesterday, beleive it or not, I did all the laundry, (for the first time in a few weeks) 6 loads of it!!!! Anyway, I decided it was time to clear out a little clutter so I'm gonna get rid of all the clothes I rarely wear. Today I called work and booked shifts for next week, and I sorted out some of the insurance stuff.
Also, the TD bank in Timmins called and wants someone right away to come and work. I don't think I can go right away. It's a little (actually alot) sooner than I was expecting. I can go in the summer, but not now. I'm gonna sleep on it and think about it over the week-end, then call her on Monday and let her know what I decide.
Another lazy day. I basically worked on the website mostof the day. Brought Gurr out for a little walk. Still gotta do little cleaning and do laundry but it's only 7:30 so I still have lots of time.
I called the adult high school today to get some info, and things are looking good. the courses I want are all offered this semester and all in a row. Philosophy first period, physics second period then calculus 3rd period. I'm looking forward to registering in february. Althought it's gonna be weird going back to school, I think it'll do me alot of good. That way I'll be able to apply for University for next year.
I've made a few updates to the site. I've added some photo albums, and modified others. But basically I've been working on the photo albums all day. Scannning then editing and adding. I had to scan them all anyway to put them on cd. Anyway, gotta go start supper.
Finally, I've quit the theatre. Althought I am gonna miss the pay of working two jobs, I'm gonna have alot more time for myself. I also haven't been feeling well for quite some time now, so hopefully this spare time will help me deal with that too. I've been working on this site for the past few days, seeing as how I'm not to work until January 13th, jsut enough time to see a specialist who can make a better informed decision on wheither returning to work is a good idea or not for the time being.
So for now I keep my mind occupied by creating this website. I can't really find anything else I enjoy at the moment. I'm seriously considering going back to school, finishing my oacs so I can go to university. I would like to take Physics and engineering. I'm really interested in physics and philosophy. And my perspective on things has totally changed. I don't feel like I'm limited by time anymore so 4 years of university and maybe another 3 after that to become a teacher doesn't really seem that bad anymore.
I went for a walk today and went to do groceries. Althought I'm kind of wishing now that I hadn't. I was setting aside only 30$ till next pay check and I ended up spending 70$ on groceries. Oh well, payday is on thursday.
