He got the job...

Gilles is going next Wednesday for the required drug test, and to sign the paperwork and stuff for the job in Alberta. Once he passes the drug test, he will leave for work on the 5th of July. Aaaaaah.... I'm so excited and overwhelmed at the same time. My gods, I hope I don't blow up the house!

Missing you...you know who you are.

I'm missing you like crazy,
We haven't talked in a while,
I love the way you make me feel,
You always make me smile.

Will I ever get to see you again?
Will I ever feel your touch,
Just know that although we're so close,
I miss you very much.

How the rest of my birthday turned out...

Well, I couldn't get the vanilla vodka because the SAQ was out of it. But I got the sushi, and it was just the thing I needed to lift my spirits...Sushi fixes all ills. However I ate way too much of it, and ended up in much, much pain....oh, but it was soooooo worth it...LOL So I had a good birthday after all.

Still waiting...

Well, we still haven't heard any news from the guy in Medicine Hat, but Gilles called him around Noon, and left a message saying, "If it's true that I keep my vacation, seniority, and pension, then yes, I'll take the job."

So in that case I'm sure we'll hear back from him soon. If that is the case, I am going to have a lot of furniture for sale...so those of you who read this either on my blog or on Facebook, pay attention. We're not sure of prices yet, but here's a starting list of what will be for sale.

• Couch (complete with kitty chewing marks), and love-seat (may be sold as set, or separately.
• Another love-seat/hide-a-bed
• 27 inch TV (old, but still works well)
• Single bed frame with matching bedside table and dresser (mattress included)
• Double bed frame with matching his and hers dressers (mattress included and we might have the box spring too, I don't remember)
• Maple kitchen table with glass protective top and extension with 6 matching chairs
• Riding Lawn mower
• snow blower
• 3 bookshelves
• 2 TV stands
• possibly a stereo set with speakers (am/fm radio only, but it's a box where you connect all your other elements through it i.e. DVD, CD, Video, etc.)
• Apartment size piano

That's just for starters...we will also be sorting through toys, books, clothes, and whatever else is not necessary for us to take with us. I'll keep everyone posted, and let you know for sure when we're ready to start selling stuff.

Day is getting better...

LOL...my husband wants to help lift my mood, so he gave me money to go and get Vanilla Vodka and sushi... Sushi makes everything better! :D

Happy Birthday to me...

Today is my 31st birthday, and I have the birthday blahs...I think it doesn't help that it's cloudy and a bit rainy. Just another day of the year...same old routines, same old crap...I want to curl up in my bed and sleep until tomorrow.

Waiting, waiting...

So we're still awaiting confirmation of all the details for the position in Medicine Hat. Oh I hate the waiting part...meanwhile, I'm trying to work on decluttering things that I don't need so that I don't have to stress at the last minute. It seems the houses around here, once put on the market, sell very quickly, so I may end up not having much time to pack and stuff after all; I don't know.

I'm excited, nervous, anxious all at the same time. But I found out that Medicine Hat does in fact have a pagan community, and I've already joined the e-list to start getting to know people right away. I was reading the blog of one Member, Fern, and it seems we have quite a bit in common... We like the same music, same kind of novels, and we both like to bellydance...oh yeah, we're both Geminis too. Yay...maybe I'll be able to take bellydancing out there. Woo Hoo!

Good news, and bad news (kind of)

Well, Gilles has been off work since March 30, and the job hunt has not been going very well. But this morning he got a call from his old boss from the Valleyfield GoodYear Plant, and it turns out he has a job available for Gilles in Medicine Hat, AB. $29/hr, and he gets to keep his seniority, his vacation, and his pension plan. We're just waiting for the guy to call back to confirm the details. The good part is, if Gilles accepts the job (and it looks like he's going to), we won't have to rush to get there. The guy said if we need 6 months to make the move, then the job will still be there.

I have mixed feelings, but I'm more excited than anything. I just hope there's a pagan community in Medicine Hat.

Peace...nice weather...very happy

So all the renovations in the house are finally done, and it looks amazing...I still have the "wow factor" everytime I walk into the kitchen... I have a stainless steel sink!!!!!

Gilles is still looking for work, but in the meantime, he's taking steps to upgrade some of his skills. He's taking a course this weekend and next weekend, and he has a couple of construction and certification cards to get

My moods are doing well. I'm more stable, but still get very tired very easily! I've still been napping in the afternoons, but I'm able to stay up later at night. So now I'm going to try and skip the nap and go to bed earlier.

My garden has gone wild... things have spread, and I don't know what I want to remove, and what I want to keep... I know I have to divide the hostas as they are taking up more and more space... I might just rip them out altogether...I hate hosta...I don't really find they are particularly pretty...I like pretty flowers like Irises and Morning Glories. Overly leafy plants piss me off!!!
