It's been an odd few weeks around here, readers. Let's try to sort this all out.

1) My mother got a call from the doctor's office regarding a chest x-ray she had done in November. I spent the weekend worried sick about the C-word. She got the results Monday, and it seems the x-ray is cloudy due to heart surgery she had a few years ago. They are still going to do more tests, but things are probably not too serious. Fewf.

2) A very good, pregnant, friend of mine was admitted to hospital with early contractions. She and (as yet still unborn) baby are both doing very well, thankfully, but I had to change my underwear when I first heard the news.

3) Last night, I had a dream that I ran over a ferret, and kept on driving. Very troubling.

4) It's been decided that MW will move out of the pot-infested yuck-shack that he's been residing in to live....here. It makes sense in a lot of ways, but it's not fun living with the parents. They are fine people, but I feel like we are living as brother and sister, not lovers.

5) What else? Well, nothing really. We are both still looking for work, and I am constantly paranoid of the fact that one of us will find a job that will separate us again, and I'm not sure what will happen after that. I've spent more than one night awake feeling sad, lonely, nervous, anxious, and/or frustrated at the uncertainty of everything.

6) I worry about us, and I worry about money, of course. Hey, have I said that I am currently being investigated by HRDC because of a discrepancy between my reported earnings, and my employer's reported earnings for an EI claim I made in 2003? If I don't get to the bottom of it, I may have to pay over $200. Yes. Oh, and VISA put up my interest to 24%. Yes.

7) I almost forgot to mention this! This is actually funny and non-depressing! I SHAVED MY BOYFRIEND'S ASS. Hahaha! It was actually extremely non sexual, unless you have a medical fetish. See, he is afflicted with a Pilonidal abscess, which is pretty extremely painful. So, I did my girlfriend duty and helped him out with things in that general area. All I can say is that if one ever wanted proof of true love, that would be it.

Oh, and in case you're wondering: Yes, I did get permission to write about that.
