you inch along.

Oh my fucking god. If I get out of this one alive, it will be a celebration! The past month has just been hell. It all started with the flu that moved to my lungs, then the landlord incident, the credit card fraud, the grey hair, the insomnia, the tooth pulled out that then got infected and now a sinus cold! I have no energy left to fight and have instead decided to give in. I will need to take better care of myself. Eat some vegetables. Start exercising. Focus on my mental health. Live fully.  No more of this lame version of a life I have been in for the last 40 days. 

The weekend was quite entertaining. Hockey tournament at day, shows and party at night. Making sure we are on time for this, meet people there, take pictures of this game over here, run to the next rink, get some food, go and watch another game and so on…No wonder I am so tired!  I can’t complain though, it was all good fun. The Summit is one of the most lighthearted weekends of the year.  And although the husband’s team didn’t make it to the playoffs this year, I must admit that it was hard to hide my pride in the Montreal teams making almost all the way to the top (they could give some advice to our beloved Habs!). 

Furniture hunting is still on. We did not get the TV because the one we had found had a very bad image quality so we skipped. The office desk that we also wanted was sold to someone else so we ended up going to XS Cargo and buying a fairly decent one for an irresistibly good price.  I am still on the lookout for the IKEA dressers that I really want for the bedroom.

On the news front, PETA has gone insane. Really. I usually encourage them in their endeavours, but this is crossing the line of reasonable. Rescue Shelter Boys? Come on!

This recession is a bitch. I feel bad for Conquest; it was a good discount airline for sun destinations, but in these tough times, only the big companies survive apparently. I wonder what their staff will do now, since they weren’t unionized like most airlines…

This makes me mad! I can’t believe that in 2009 women are still fighting for basics rights. Marital rape is NOT okay! Women are not their husband’s slave! Good on them for marching the streets to denounce these acts.  People were throwing stones at the protesters. What?! Is this the 1600s?  What kind of world do we live in?

we all decay.

It seems to be that kind of week. I don’t know what’s wrong with the world lately but it’s gone a little insane.

First off, I received my credit card invoice in the mail and there is a fraud of over 600$ on it! The purchases were made all over Canada and some of them were even returned afterward! The nerve! I had my card on me when most of it happened so I guess only the info was stolen and then copied on a different card…I’m no expert so I don’t really know, but the people who did this certainly did! Now the bank is investigating to make sure it really wasn’t me.  Bleh.

Then I learn that the President of the airline I’m employed under has left. Left the ship to sink. The media is covering this like hungry vultures saying that there is no chance of survival. I beg to differ. It will be a rough ride for sure but I do think we can make it. In a time where we are renegotiating the collective agreement, this certainly does not make anything easier. We will have to sacrifice a lot of things to keep our jobs and I am not sure I want to know what it will be just yet. I only hope we can all stick together and fight as a united team. These are important times!

Lastly, we finally moved out of our old apartment last night. For good. We had told the owners that we were going to be there after work to clean up and move the last bits of what we had there. Well imagine my surprise when I walked in yesterday and found all my things jumbled in random bags and my landlords cleaning out the place for us. I barely had time to realize what was going on that I was drowned under a sea of insults. Without evidence of anything (because none of it is true), I was accused of destroying the apartment and threathened to be sued for damage!  That coming from people who left us without heat all winter in a place that is falling apart, who allowed someone to steal my camera during the apartment viewing, who didn’t care much for repairs when things broke on us and who were standing there illegally since we hadn’t received the 24h mandatory notice before they entered our apartment.  Unbelievable!  People are messed up I’m telling you. I have been so nice to them all through the 2 years we lived there. I have been so patient, so tolerant. This is what I get back. Disrespect and threats. Wow. I’m still in shock.

It must have been the grey hair I found amongst all my shiny black ones. My first one!   

Everything goes downhill from there apparently.
