Its been over a month since i've been on this site. wow. i suck. my life is to busy with unimportant things and i never have time to keep up with everyone on here and my friends who aren't on here either for that matter.
things that are stressing me out:
1. my grandma has cancer. she was diagnosed with breast cancer just before mothers day and had surgery but then had to go in for another surgery since than and is starting radiation as soon as the incision heals. thankfully she still has my grandpa but he had to quit his job to be home with her and take care of the house. she can't babysit my cousins anymore either so my aunt is having trouble getting babysitters and her husband has started to stay at home with them. i'm glad she has a nurse coming to see her twice a day but i wish that we could be closer to her.
2. justin's dad is dying, slowly. it's going to devestate every person in his family. he was admitted to the hospital this week and is in continuous care. thankfully justin and i got to take him out a couple of weekends ago to see john fogerty of ccr for his birthday. it was awesome. even though he's blind he had a blast. it was great to see him so happy.
3. my cat is depressed and the vet is putting him on anti-depressants. i'm glad that we finally found out what is wrong with him and why he chews on himself until he is raw and has scabs all over his body. he's half bald because he chews on himself so much. recently he started peeing on the carpet as well. thankfully he's going to get better and it's nothing serious that is going to require surgery like the last time he was sick. we were worried that he may have had crystals or kidney stones again like he did about a year ago.
4. i'm trying to get things in order to be able to go back to school in the fall but U of T sucks. all they care about is money. there are only 3 more courses i need to take to finish my specialist and i can't get into any of those classes because there are too many other people who also need those classes to graduate and they aren't going to open up any more spaces in the classes. grr. it's very frustrating. it forces people to go to school for 5-6 years and pay more and more money. i'm thinking of just going and getting a college diploma instead and finishing my degree through correspondence over the next few years. it's going to take me that long to finish it anyways if i actually took classes at the campus.
5. we're moving october first. we can't afford to live where we are anymore because we haven't been able to find a roommate since lucy moved out. it's stressful because we don't know where we are going to move to. if i can't get into my classes at u of t for this fall than i'm going to go to fanshawe for a social worker diploma, in which case we will be moving to london. it would be good because we would both be closer to our families which would reduce a lot of stress, but at the same time it means that justin would have to commute to toronto. if i do get into my classes we'll be moving back to mississauga.
6. i hate my job. they over work me and i'm underpaid. i find myself calling in sick all the time for no reason at all other than i can't bear to go to work. it's bad when i come home and cry 3 out of 5 days a week because my job makes me feel so crummy. this is the reason that i'm going back to school. i'm sick of working horrible pointless job after horrible pointless job. if i get into my classes for september than i will be getting a part time job again likely in retail or waitressing and if not than we are moving to london and i'll have to go job hunting.
things are really stressful lately if you haven't gathered that from the above. but i'm trying to keep positive. justin and i have had some really good times together this summer dispite all of the stress that is on both of us. most of those times are when we are with our families in london. we've gone to port stanley to the beach several times and we went to wakestock last weekend which was a blast. i'm looking forward to spending some time at home this weekend. i need some time to relax but it's hard not to think about everything.
anyhow...i'm going to go get a popsicle. i'm warm dispite the fact that we have central air.
