Okay, okay. It's after the 15th, way after. So here I go.

I'm actually writing this from my parents' house. I got here on Sunday, and don't go home again until the 6th of November. I'm able to do this because....*drum roll*.....I don't have a job!!!! One would think that this would be an unfortunate thing, however, for the last 10 months I have hated my job so much that it almost destroyed my relationship, and drained me to the point that I needed 12 to 14 hours of sleep a night just to find the will to get me through the work day. Some of you might think this sounds a little extreme, but you'd understand how true it is if you could only see him. He's actually happier than I am that I'm not working there anymore. Honest. He's seriously jumping up and down happy! That's how bad it/I was. And I know that I tried to make it work, I gave it 10 whole months, hoping things would get better. But half way through the 8th month, they got decidedly worse. And it took the rest of that time for me to find the strength and confidence I needed to leave. And now? Now I'm with my parents, repairing the damage to my psyche. It sounds dramatic, but I really do need this time to get better, so I can go home and look forward to the next job. I loved the place I used to work, I really loved it. But I gave it too much, and I didn't notice early enough when it stopped giving back. And so....life goes on.

I'm on my second day of hanging out by myself. I'm quite enjoying it. I was a little sick yesterday, so I did nothing. All day. During the week! (hardly ever happens in real life!) Today I think I'll go downtown after lunch, then maybe stop for a visit with my Faff on the way home (Faffee = Grandma). Tomorrow my sister and nephew arrive for the weekend. And on Tuesday my parents and I head over to Lethbridge for Chase's first birthday on the 29th. I'm staying on in Lethbridge till the 5th, and then fly home from Cranbrook on the 6th.

I seriously think this post is long enough, and boring enough, to stop now. *grin* I'll write more if anything happens.
