Hi Everyone!
Still don't have internet at home yet - my computer disc drive has died and since it's over 5 years old, it's a better value to just buy a new computer. Definitely not in my budget, but Dell has a payment plan. It's been a pain getting my order all straightened out (some of my records still have the old address on them) but everything should be straightened out today.
Heading to Edmonton on Friday to visit with Corey (friend from Base Borden). I'm quite excited.
My stomach's been upset for the past couple weeks - not sick but constantly queasy. I mentioned it to my co-worker and she suggested it came from my cleansing. I was trying a new eating regime (shakes and weekly cleansing). I stopped a couple weeks ago (very expensive products) and have had this feeling ever since. It has been slowly increasing over time. There's a chance that when I cleansed, I also got rid of all the good bacteria so I'm not digesting food properly. It's weird - I can eat whatever I want but the feeling doesn't go away. I'm going to eat some yucky yougurt for the next week to see if if this is the cause. If it ends up being a stomach bug, I'll feel a whole lot worse but at least I can narrow things down...
Shannon left on Monday morning heading back to Ontario. We had a great visit.
Got my acceptance letter yesterday so I've e-mailed it to the bank today. This is so I can re-open my student line of credit. Registration is on October 11 and my first class is October 25. I'm really excited!
Have a great day!

I'm moved!
Hi Everyone!
I'm tired, sore and have a splitting headache. I hate moving! Anyways, my stuff is all over at the new place and there are boxes and stuff everywhere. It's driving me crazy. The furry family is slowly adjusting. Mike's hiding in corners and when he isn't, he's on me. Whiskers has explored the place but I think she's happy that the bed is set up (a favourite spot of hers). Gilbert is squeaky as always.
Lisa (new roommate) is moving in on Friday.
The movers broke a window bringing the piano in so I've looked on-line to see how to replace it myself. It doesn't look difficult - any advice you have would be appreciated.
Cold and rainy - chance of snow.
It 's busy at work so I'll update next week. Phone will now be hooked up on Sunday (after I called to cancel) but internet will be another week or so. Phone number hasn't changed. I'll e-mail everyone my new contact info soon.
Had a wonderful time with Shannon. Will update you on our adventures soon.
Have a great day!

Moving!
Hi Everyone!
I'm tired and sore but most of my stuff is over at the new place. After work on Friday, I borrowed a truck from work and my boss came over with his truck and we each took over a load. To be honest, I didn't expect him to help (I basically asked the techs if anyone had an hour or so after work) but it was really nice to get most of my furniture over there. On Saturday, I had Chris (co-worker), Brian (choir member) and Lorraine (new friend I met when I was visiting Central United last Sunday) to help move boxes. It went really fast! We loaded mine and Chris' truck (and not really tightly packed) and had everything done in about an hour! I gave everyone who helped a tray of brownies.
I spend a bit of Friday night positioning furniture and Saturday & Sunday afternoon starting to unpack. I've still got a lot to do but I can now see this apartment turning into mine. I'm a visual person - I have to have the furniture in the room to understand what it will look like. I'll be back over tomorrow bring the last of my things that the mover won't need to move. I found one that will move my stuff on Sept 13 - the same day that Shannon leaves and yet I still have the day off. The timing works out great and he's quite affordable. Mind you, I have the piano, the futon, my double bed, a dresser, Mike's cat tree and max 10 boxes. If Wednesday goes as smoothly as the weekend, it'll be under an hour (which, incidently, they get paid by the hour!)
Shannon flies out on Friday so I'm excited to play tourist. We're vising Drumheller on Sunday.
I've put a add on a couple roommate websites. I did it last night and already I've had a couple people interested. I hope to meet with a few this week to show the place and have them move in after I move in (on the 13th). I like these websites - they have it set up so you write your profile and all contact between you and the potential roommate is done through the website. This helps to protect your privacy if they turn into wackos.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
PS-it's been hot and sunny all weekend - a nice change from the cold and rainy days we had
