Good evening, cyber dwellers! (hahaha… cyber dwellers)
I am now on day 29 of the countdown to California Adventure #1. Less than a month! I’m super-excited. I hope (fuck!) the days continue to go by quickly. I’m starting to get a little nervous… nervous of flying on 9/11, nervous of missing my connecting flight, nervous of meeting John at the airport… but I can deal.
The rest of this post will be a series of random updates/thoughts:
1. Gizmo hasn’t had a seizure in almost 3 weeks. He’s also returned to his normal self, running around and playful. We’re almost out of the liquid kind of medication, and vet refused to prescribe any more until he had an “annual checkup”. This confused me because he was just fully checked over 2 months ago when I brought him in because of his seizures! Nevertheless, they are “obligated” to have an “annual check up”. (Can we say cash grab?)
2. Last Sunday I had a weird head rush thing which I intended on ignoring… until I’ve been having more frequent (brief) dizzy spells. Went to the doctor, did the blood work thing. She said she has no idea why it’s happening but if it happens again to come back in, and she made another appointment for me in 2 weeks. I also told her about the blurry vision thing I get sometimes. She said it sounds like migranes, but was puzzled when I told her that sometimes I don’t get a headache at all and when I do it’s not very painful. I know people who have migranes who have to get out of the light and go lay down… that never happens with me. So she referred me to a neurologist.
3. I’ve decided that I’m going back to school in September for HR Management. It’s a 1 year post-graduate degree that will allow me to take the certification test. I’d like to get more into labour relations so I think this is a good way to do it. AND… I haven’t given up on the LSAT thing. I think my ultimate goal is to pursue law. It’s just not the right time. The course is 80% online and 20% in class (in the evening) so that will allow me to keep a job if I want to. I think I might look for something part time once my contract runs out in October/November.
4. I noticed that a lot of stores are turning down their lights to conserve energy (okay well not a lot but Winners and Food Basics… 2 out of 4 stores I’ve been to this week). I think that is an awesome idea! Also, if anyone is reading this from Guelph - I fully expect you to participate in Operation Power Down this Thursday!
And finally, I thought I would leave you with some pictures of the crazy weather this past weekend:
