Wow, do I fail at updating.
Bad news: After about 3 years at our wonderful house in Shawnessy, we can no longer afford the rent without another person, and Sheila has decided she wants to move out and live with other people. Which is wonderful, and I wish her the best, but moving is super annoying. Moving in winter is even worse. But, we will make it through, Brad and Chris will stay with us in a money-saving roommate situation that allows us to pay down debts, pay for tuition, and (in theory) save.
Good news: I made a chainmaille bag yesterday while recovering from night shift. Photos to be posted eventually. The bag is little, but it holds all 7 of my gaming dice, so I'm happy. I want to improve on how I closed the bottom. It didn't turn out bad for a first try, but I want to get the reduction in the number of rings per row a little better. Or maybe I'll close the next one with a Japanese style bottom. We shall see. I ordered more rings yesterday (before I got tiny paycheque of tininess) so they should be here soon and I can start playing with them.
If you look up "link'd chainmaille" on facebook, you can see the things that I've made, and if you so desire, make a purchase. Anything on there can be re-made custom to fit you, or the colours that you like. And it will help me pay for tuition so I can get my degree and better the world! Can you think of a more fun way to assist in world betterment than acquiring shiny jewelry? I sure can't.
School news: I wrote a midterm on the 11th and it went fairly well, I think. I have some work in developmental psych to do today, as well as some health studies stuff. And two papers to finish, yeesh. I should probably get to work.
Work news: Still loving the work at the hospice. Though I like it better when the patients are awake and I can interact with them. Night shifts are great for studying and all, but they drag. Evenings are more fun. I am missing a staff meeting today because I refuse to drive to Okotoks on my only true day off to have a meeting with staff for an hour. I would rather go to ones that are held on days that I actually work.
Josie news: My Josie is awesome. She's at work right now, but she'll be home soon. I love her. I'm really lucky to have her love me, you know. All sorts of wonderful, that woman is...
Declan news: *pant pant* *looks up at me* *continues to pant* Nothing new with him.
And so, I close. There is a possibility of grocery shopping tonight as well as a possibility that I might get everything done today that I need to. But then again, there is the possibility that I might not. Only time will tell.
