Just an update.
Hi Chicks! 
So far things are going well in Calgary. I managed to get a “grown up” job (7:30am - 6:00pm) that makes me wear a suit everyday and “be professional.” I even have my own desk. Neat, huh? lol Boyfriend also managed to get a job. So we’re doing well. We aren’t comfortable yet but I’ve managed to pay off a credit card and cancel it. So, only 1 more card to go then I can really start relaxing a little better.
Ummm I also discovered Ikea. AMAZING. I want to LIVE in that store. hahah I bought a few things for the apartment and it’s really starting to come together. I have to say that I’m impressed.
Classes have started for me and I switched programs to Human Resource Management which is exciting.
Currently I’m in Red Deer for training which is an 1.5 hours away from Calgary (my new home). My diet hasnt been the best but I’m losing weight due to the sheer fact I can’t afford to eat out. I have been drinking quite a bit and also eating a lot of food cooked in oils and margerine because I’m still learning to cook well. I’m getting on track though.
Well, We got word today that Mom isn’t going to recover much more mentally. She can’t speak, doesn’t understand and is blissfully unaware of her state - she just is. I hate the term but she is similar to a “Vegitative state.” Dad has gotten our family’s lawyer to switch over his will, mom’s will, power of attourney and listed my father as sole care giver. This is such a blow to me. It’s so hard being away from all this confusion and termoil. Unfortunately this means my mother can never return home because we simply do not have the ability to care for her. It will be 18 months before there is another opening in a continuing care facility. I’m crushed. Dad keeps telling me not to give up hope but it’s hard.
I’m going out to supper with my training group and I’ll make better choices tonight. I just need to refocus and start getting into a stable routine.
I’m up every morning between 5:00-5:30am and I’m out the door at 6:30am because I have an hour commute on transit to work and I don’t get home until 7pm. So I’m wondering how to get my exercise in throughout my day. I really can’t get up any earlier because I’m going to bed around 11pm because of my school work/social life. Does anyone have any ideas or tips or anything? Would working out Friday, Saturday and Sunday be effective? I don’t really know…haha
Anyway Chicks, I must be off. Time for supper and a little dip in the hotel pool.
