Wow!

I haven't posted since before Christmas.

Don't worry - I'm fine.

I spent a few days at my mom's for Christmas, and then again for New Years.

As planned, I ate too much, especially rich foods and chocolate.

Watched a lot of DVD's.

Read a lot of newspapers.

I buy all the Toronto papers (Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, Globe and Mail, and National Post),...

No need to be worried, but thank you smile

No, no more customers asking me to spank them, but last night a guy asked me to follow him to the bathroom and make sure he got there ok. The drunk crowd on Monday night are a unique group compared to those we get on the weekend.

I exist outside of work? wow. I am good overall, but very busy and I would like that to slow down a bit. The weather is shit.....just absolute hell.

Scrabble IS a sport in regards to the fact that you can compete in it and there are tournaments, awards, etc. BUT, it is not comparable to football, basketball, and the such.

It's great to hear from you! I wish I'd had the chance to respond sooner. How are you? How are things?

Merry Christmas!


I really like Christmas.



I won't be around for a few days because I go to my mom's for Christmas.

She lives half a block from me, but she likes having me there for a couple days.

I'll rent some DVD's for us to watch.

We'll eat lots of chocolate and rich foods.

There's only two of us, so instead of a turkey,...

I have no idea what to talk about.

I'm feeling better these days.

Admitting that I was feeling more depressed than usual was a great bit of therapy in and of itself.

So I'm doing better.




Here's something.....

A couple weeks ago, the clerk at the post office asked me, "How much weight have you lost?"

I go to the post office about once a...

well I have done the cards and I decorated the tree last night to figure out that I don't have a tree topper...got me in a little panic. So today I need to get stuff for just one day...I decided to get him a baseball mitt.

Well I can't take anti depressants makes me manic then I end up all crazy and one time landed myself in the hospital. Have tried different kinds it is just it makes me actually hyper manic. Which all in all sounds wonderful but it isn't.

Well eatting empty calories are usually the yummiest.

Happy Holidays! biggrin

Gotta Snap Out of It Soon


I saw my counsellor on Friday.

Not much to report.

I caught him up on my life and how down I've been feeling. I'll see him again in a week and a half. He didn't have a lot to say about how I've been feeling.

He does want me to try my best to establish and stick to a...

So I guess I should just admit that the reason I've been so quiet here the last few months is that I've been in a depression.

Well, I'm basically always depressed, but the last three months have been worse than usual. And I've been doing my best to ignore it. Haven't even gone to see my counsellor since July. I intentionally missed my appointment in...

I hope you're doing better, honey.

My two dates flaked on me because, well, they're flakes. As far as being accepted as a Wicked Talent model, they don't take models shorter than 5'6" unless they're "exceptional", so I have to wow three of their photographers before I've got a shot.

radiofrank:
No apologies are necessary, good sir. The most important thing right now is for you to work through this and get better. smile

Honestly, though, I should apologize for not stopping by more often and saying hello.

All things considered, I'm not doing too badly. Work (and the insane shoppers) are tolerable at this point, although that may change in the next 10 - 12 days. We shall see.

How about you? Having someone to talk to about your emotions is always a good thing, and I hope that it's helped.

Okay, it's been a couple weeks since I wrote.

Sorry about that!

Last Thursday I went to Toronto for the SG burlesque show.

Overall I had a good time.

I ran into a bunch of people I know, or sort-of know, and it was great to finally say a bit more than 'hi' to some people I've met before.

An advantage of looking the way...

The website is down because my man is supposed to be redoing it. Of course, he's been supposed to be redoing it for months now. I think I'll just redesign it.

I'm glad you have some insight into your illness. My client is adamant that she is perfectly fine. The FBI really is trying to kill her, and a gay Serbian detective really did arrange to have her arrested so he could steal her husband. She really is going to two colleges, even though she's homeless, unemployed, and speaks broken English. Her delusions change daily, and she wants me to participate in them.

Even if I wanted to have her forcibly hospitalized (and she's not an imminent physical danger to herself or others right now) I couldn't. It's almost impossible to do. I just don't know what to do with her.

I got back from my trip to Iowa in the wee hours of Monday morning.

I thought the trip went well, until day 6 when she explained that she wasn't feeling that 'spark' necessary for a relationship.

She was very sensitive about it, and told me to my face as well, which I appreciate.

I do wonder if it took till then for her to...

I'm Going Away

Well, it's Friday morning.

I leave for Iowa on Sunday morning.

I'll spend Sunday night somewhere. Not sure where - just wherever there's a rest area along the highway. Yes, I'll be sleeping in the car. Thankfully it's not the dead of winter, though I have slept in the car at that time of year too.

But it's a long drive to...

I hope you read this before you go! Don't worry about being too busy to reply, I'm sure we all understand. I'll have fingers, toes etc crossed for you for the week.

Yay!

Well, my mom is back from visiting her sister and mother.

Thankfully my grandma is doing well actually. She's much more lucid than last time. Apparently last time, it may have been medication-related. And she's getting better at adapting to living in a home and having attendent care. A couple years ago she was mortified by the idea that someone would help bathe her. Now...

yeah i kept forgetting to ask her if i could post pics of her.

i know whatever you put out into the world is bound to be copied but it really doesn't take the edge off the anger and frustration when it's done to you. ya know?

i'm really excited about the new computer... the one i REALLY wanted was 10 grand...grin.

The opening was great. My old location was sort of run down. We re-located and it's in a great place and all shiney and new smile

I don't have too much that's deep and meaningful to say.

Last weekend, I went to a nearby fair with my mom.

Watched a demolition derby, and ate lots of junk - funnel cake, cotton candy, a scone dog, bologna and scone, and a plain scone. Scones are a traditional Native Canadian way to clog your arteries - they're big lumps of deep-fried dough. But...
