I wish I could remember that quote in Latin, but I seem to have only written it down in English. It's up on my wall with other quotes important to my life because I'm a worrier trying to break the habit. Unfortunately, it seems to be getting worse as I get older. I am a creature of habit who likes order, plans, and stability. Going with the flow is ( Read more... )

Yesterday we were at the Rogers store in the mall because Derek was supposed to get an iphone* and suddenly we hear a lady yelling "Excuse me sir! Excuse me!" We turn around to see a man running through the mall being chased by a Purdy's lady because he'd stolen a few boxes of chocolates. A few other people started chasing him, including the guy ( Read more... )

Having a period and a bladder infection at the same time really sucks. So does missing work during the second week there because of a stupid, painful bladder infection. But it seems pointless to go and suffer a lot when I wouldn't be able to do my job well anyway with having to run to the bathroom every two minutes.

Today the happiness came in three parts: a tea party followed by a holiday open house followed by a purple dinner party with purple clothes and purple food, which we just drove home from in the snow with crazy drivers.

Happiness for today is that I didn't have to go anywhere so I could just sleep and get better without having to worry about missing anything.

Happy thing for today: My love is now going out to buy me ice cream and sore throat relief because the cold that started this morning has gotten three times as bad in the last hour and a half. He's doing this after going to see the lights with me in Stanley Park even when he didn't really want to.

First of all, Franz Ferdinand was AWESOME last night! They played all my favorite songs and it was just so good I don't really have any more words.

Thing of happiness for today: Our landlord is going to get the moisture problem fixed. There's actually less water now than a few days ago, which is good, but there shouldn't be any water on the floor ( Read more... )
