I am very boring whilst on vacation (whilst!). I sit on the sofa and watch cartoons and go for little walks and sometimes I go to Charlottetown right before a blizzard in order to return Rob’s Christmas gift because his gift was broken – luckily Futureshop was like, very busy so the guy was not in the mood to do anything but say “Okay, let’s exchange it!” and then… exchange it. No questions asked. The excitement in my life so far has been that I was on Facebook before talking to my friend about latkes (it’s Hanukkah!) when the site just stopped working for me. I asked my sister (multitasking: on MSN messenger AND google chat AND FB) if she knew if it was working and it is for her. So Facebook just doesn’t like my computer today.
As mentioned, a blizzard is happening/finishing up right now. According to the weather people, this year is on track to be the first since 1971 that everywhere in Canada has a white Christmas.

yay! vacation!

I think I am going to heretofore be known as the Mean Teacher.
You know, the one who gave tests the week before winter vacation.
The one who is actually making people who missed the test write it tomorrow at lunchtime.
The one who gave four kids detention this week.
The one who, when asked “Can we listen to our ipods? C’mon! It’s the second to last day!” kind of laughed at them because next thing you know they’ll be all “Can we just watch a movie today? C’mon, it’s the sixty-first to last day!”
Yeah.

Dear Self:
The napping. It has to stop.
Love from yourself. Oh and PS – yay three more days til vacation!

The past two afternoons/evenings I have been napping. For like, three hours. And then I can’t sleep until midnight. And then I wake up in the morning tired from not sleeping enough the night before? It’s pretty wrong. And no, before anyone asks, not pregnant.

Also: at some point within the next two months, I am going to be having an HSG. SO (not) looking forward to that.

20 seconds of the best swearing ever:

For some reason I woke up at 4:39 this morning, and just… laid there. For the next hour and a half. TRYING to fall back to sleep. Didn’t work. So the above? is pretty much how I’m feeling at the moment.

Being the female fat burner that I am (ha!), I have lost another two pounds since the last time I weighed myself (September). That’s six pounds in a year!
Good going, PCOS! You’re AWESOME! /sarcasm

Where I live is, officially, a city. It became a city about 15 years ago. And the crime is now out of control.

This week, a guy walked into a store, tried to steal something, and when confronted by employees he… sprayed them with bear spray.

I would just like to point out that there are no bears on this island. Read the rest of this entry →

At about noon yesterday I got an email from Rob asking for me to call him when I had a chance (and, since I was on my lunch break, I had the chance). And what did he say? “Um… when you get home, do you think that you can take me in to Emergency?”
He had somehow managed to fall down the stairs (yes, the same ones I fell down in September) and really messed up his knee. I was all for calling my mom or dad and getting them to drive him in but he wanted to go with me. Stubborn. STUBBORN.
I left work SUPER early and we got to the ER at about 3:30. He got in to see the Triage nurse at 6. He got called back into an exam room at 8:00. At 10:00 the doctor came in to see him. What with x rays and various pokings and proddings, we finally got out of there at around 11:30.
They told him that it seems like it’s sprained, not to put weight on it (my mom’s sending over her old cane – yay for a House husband!), ice and elevation and ibuprofen. If it’s not better in two or three weeks then he should see his doctor because that might mean he’s torn something and might need surgery.

So that sucks.

Other: my staff party is tonight. One part of it is at a Chinese restaurant and then the second half is at someone’s house. I had said Rob and I were going to go but now I’m thinking he’s going to want to stay home. Oh well. Just means saving $11 on the buffet

I have received like four emails this month from an ex who is selling amway-type stuff. Three of the four emails have been about a diet pill. I wonder if he’s trying to tell me something? (there’s a reason he’s an ex).

I am watching Young Einstein. My high school physics teacher showed us this movie to help us to understand the theory of relativity. Yes, yes he did.

I’m reading The Time Traveler’s Wife. It’s an excellent book, and hopefully the movie they’re making with it doesn’t suck.

And I think that is all for now!
