TGIF!

Oh man I love Fridays!  Especially now that the weather is amazing in so many ways!  I got to leave early today because it was quiet so I headed off to see my dentist and made an appointment to start repairing my teeth and what not YAY!  I am actually excited about going to the dentist, which is insane I guess to some people but I have one tooth that has been the bane of my exsistance FAR too long and its coming out!  I\’m getting the chipped one repaired first and I have a lone cavity to be taken care of then I\’m getting porcelain veneers eventually.  When my wisdom teeth came in when I was 15 they pushed my teeth all out of alignment and smashed my 4 front teeth together with a minor, barely noticeable overlap.

Well now that overlap has turned into a gap and I HATE my smile because my one front tooth is horrendously crocked and has a gap UGH!  Thankfully my dentist does porcelain veneers so I\’m going to be asking about those when I see her next month.  Then I won\’t hate my smile anymore because my teeth will look as nice as they used to!  Its a bit costly but a worthwhile expense since I\’m only 30 and the type that she uses is good for 20 years, certainly cheaper then braces!

I *think* I got the last few things I need want to finish off my apt by the weekend.  A friend of a friend is a general contractor and is willing to come in and fix my heating for me.  He\’s going to replace the existing unit, install a digital thermostat for me as well so I won\’t freeze this coming winter.  Kind of pointless to have it repaired now but at least it will be DONE which will be nice and I don\’t have to pay for it either!  I don\’t own this place so its not my problem!

John gave me $80.00 in gift cards for Old Navy at Christmas and I\’m finally going to go and spend them.  He originally got them so I could buy the wool winter jacket I was lusting after but since we didn\’t exchange gifts until AFTER Christmas I didn\’t know and ended up buying the jacket in Ontario while I was on vacation.  I do however want a nice jacket for spring/fall so that\’s what I\’m going to shop for.  I have 2 already but I want one that\’s more appropriate for any occasion.  My denim one looks nice with most things and so does my other jacket but not everything if that makes any sense.  So it\’ll be nice to spend someone Else\’s money for a change 🙂

Tomorrow is laundry, then off to see Gil and the last finishing touches I need to make to my apt and spring cleaning.  The people who lived her before me painted over the melamine cupboards with oil based paint which didn\’t stick very well and was going this God awful shade of off white/yellow-ish color and was driving me nuts!  I got most of it scraped off with a scrubby pad and I plan on having the rest of it off by tonight.  Now they\’re white like they\’re supposed to be.  Who uses oil based paint on a type of plastic?  I thought to myself WTF were you thinking?  It looked hideous and nasty!  Not anymore, thanks to my OCD\’ness ha ha.  I am however totally kicking myself for not taking the apt with the closet and washer/dryer hook-ups neither of which I have here but I didn\’t like the layout/carpet in either of them so I took this one instead.  It didn\’t dawn on me that there was only one closet in the bedroom and no where else, so storage is a bit of an issue.  I just wish I had somewhere to stash seasonal stuff like my fans and what not as opposed to the one in my bedroom which is crammed with those things.

Well hello spring!

I started some hardcore cleaning at work, hello spring and hello to kicking my OCD into high gear ha ha.  The boss lady of course loves it.  Me personally I need to have things neat and orderly in small spaces.  My kitchen is a tiny space with little room for storage so order is necessary.  Its nice though to have everything looking so clean and shiny!  Its rare that I actually have time to accomplish such things and when I do have the time then I attack it with gusto.  Problem is I keep getting interrupted with phone calls and customers if I happen to be working by myself.

Now if I could clean my house with as much vigor then I would be golden! could stop being such an OCD clean freak then I\’d be OK!   I just always have too much going on, as per the usual.  I need to manage my time better I think know and stop procrastinating so much!  Soon Today though I am going to set aside a day and just start to tackle everything that needs to be done.  Really though my main focus is getting my business off and running which I have been slacking off in the department in a really bad way as well.

I need to get my taxes sent in too, I finally got the last T4 slip that I have been waiting on so I can get that out of the way.  My apartment is finally looking the way that I want it to.  Just need to tweak a few things here and there.  I\’ve just been SO drained lately!  Going to bed super late certainly doesn\’t help matters at all either.  I just hate tackling things that I really have no vested interest in doing, like my taxes, housework that sort of thing lol.

Strangely enough though once I get the ball rolling then there\’s no stopping me.  My OCD seems to kick into over drive and then it becomes almost an obsession to get it done and out of the way.  Strange how that works.  I need to create a list of things I need to do and people I need to call by the weeks end.  Then maybe I can restore some order to my insane life for a change.

I finally heard back from my insurance company about wether or not they\’re going to cover my ultrasound.  Their response:  We need more information, please call our 1-800 number.  Are you kidding me?  I have this oddity that makes my boob burn, I need an breast ultrasound to see what it is because Dr. Hottie PAnts doesn\’t have x-ray vision, medicare DOESN\’T cover them anymore and I can\’t afford to blow a weeks pay at some fancy diganostic clinic regardless of how bad I need to get it done.  What else is there to tell?  Granted I can give them tons of TMI details and because I have to call them and blah blah blah I will, why? Because I can!

Its interesting how life works sometimes…

I\’ve made a rather strange observation as of late.  It seems that *almost* everyone I know back home has done the following:

  1. Got engaged
  2. Bought a house
  3. Got married
  4. Has a baby on the way

And in that order for the most part.  Which is SO typical of my hometown, everything is so neat, tidy and perfect.

Then there\’s me:

  1. I bailed outta Ontario
  2. Moved to Montreal
  3. Got married
  4. Lived in an apartment
  5. Moved to a bigger apartment
  6. Got a divorce/moved out and left everything to him
  7. Lived in a rooming house for over a year & met John
  8. Moved into my own apt. and replaced everything that I left with my ex husband
  9. I am now currently enjoying my independence 🙂

I wonder if my life would have been the same, but likely not as I have always walked to the beat of a different drum myself.  I don\’t know if I could deal with having such a  \”neat and tidy life\” as such.  Not that I\’m envious or anything of the such, I am actually thrilled that everyone I know from back home is doing exceptionally well.   Its just odd how everyone else seems to fit into that \”mold\”.  At least from my hometown, that really doesn\’t apply to my other friends.  Like Carly, who is as anti-baby as I am ha ha!

In any case, I like my life the way that it is.  Taking on too much, and its generally utterly chaotic but I live by my own rules and I like it!
