May 26

Wow, It's been a crazy few months. What can I say. I'm not working at the liquor store anymore. YEAHHHH I'm so happy about that. I mena I liked the people but didn't like the job very much. I am babysitting whenever I have the chance. I am hanging with Gracie and Claire on Tuesday afternoons, and I babysit Emma every once in a while. I also just started to babysit for a collegue, Vanessa. I'm still working at the Hospital which is going great. It's starting to slow down for the summer - thank goodness so I can do some catch up and get some stuff accomplished. YEAH. I've booked my flights for my holidays this summer. I'm taking July 18th - August 5th off. So that'll be great. I'm excited. Going to Ontario for a few days (7 I think) and then to Fredericton for just over a week. That'll be great. I can't wait. I went to Drumheller last night to see Superman. That was interesting. I really like him but I don't know if he likes me when he's not drunk. Boy's are interesting. We'll see. I'd really like something to happen there because I think we'd be good for each other. He'd motiviate me to take risks and do things I've never done before and well I might be able to get him to stop smoking/gambling/drinking. Something in there. We'll see. I'll try to post more often to help me explain and deal with my emotions. It's been pretty good since I moved here - A fully year ago! Hard to believe. I have only had a couple of reallllly bad nights but I haven't done anything stupid or thought of doing anything stupid so that's good. Well, I'm going to sign off for now. Tootles,
Jen

Day One

Hey,
Well a new year brought on a fresh new start, exactly what I needed. I got a job at the Alberta Children's Hospital in the FCRC. I started on December 13th. It's been great so far. It's an admin job which is a little different from what I'm used to but it's going well. I get tey o make posters through publisher which is fun, and allows me to be creative. The staff is great and it's an amazing team to work with. I still want to be a Child Life therapist and although I'm not going to be able to do any courses this term I'm still aiming for that. I think that it's a good idea for me to concentrate on a new job and a new apartment and then I'll concentrate on more schooling. I love my new apartment. It's great, it's a nice size, the bedroom has new carpet and fresh paint, the living room/kitchen/bathroom has new rock flooring and it looks great. I've been sick this past week so I haven't been able to unpack but hopefully over some time I'll be able to get some stuff put away where it belongs and get this place feeling like home. It's great that I got this new job and a new place to live especially after working with K and P. It's nice to be out of there. Although they were great and I miss them, but I'm on my own and I don't owe them anything, and I can be me, all me. It's a great feeling of freedom. And the B's have been really supportive which has been great Anyways I'm still not feeling well, so I'm going to watch a movie and go to bed and see if i can get rid of this flu. Thanks for reading,
Jen

Day One

Hello everyone,
Well this is my first post in a new series of posts. I am hoping this page will be an opportunity for me to put down in words what's going on and what I'm feeling and how I'm doing. I'm treating this as an online diary. I'm not quite sure if that's what a blog essentially is or not but that's how I'm going to use it.
Thanks for reading,
Jen
