Hey everyone!
It's finally Autumn! Woohoo! I love the colder weather, it seemed to happen overnight. Yesterday I met up with the guy who I'm editing a short film project for, the one who I had been having slight issues with, thankfully he seemed to have really taken control of his position as director and was thrilled with the edit I made. He was so pumped to see it all pieced together, so I'm so happy he liked it. He ignored the criticism that some of the friends who helped shoot it made, because ultimately as director it's your vision that counts the most.
After we spent the morning working together tweaking it my boyfriend picked me up and we went shopping for his boss. I was there to help for free but it might turn into a temporary paid position, which is fine by me I get to shop for awesome toys! BF's boss wanted him to buy toys for her nieces and nephews, for Halloween, $400 budget for EACH kid. Needless to say, we were treated like rock stars in Toys R Us, the manager went as far as to offer to let us shop for Christmas presents before the store even opens for the day.
I bought my nephew his Christmas presents too, some Ninja Turtles knee/elbow pads (he's obsessed with them) and a interactive dinosaur toy. I think he'll like them both! I have to send the family their presents mid-November so I'm getting them early.
Unfortunately my stomach bug has returned, BF's parents reckon is giardia which I've inevitably caught from one of the dogs who had it. Luckily they had some antibiotics left over so I'm taking those (human dosage + human safe of course). I went out with the BF's family and after I ate my stomach started hurting and I had to spend a lot of time in the bathroom .
On the bright side, I'm down to 162 lbs today!! Haha, that's a 3 lb drop this week thanks to giardia.
Tomorrow I have my four doctors appointments + we're going to see The Martian. Can't wait!

Penny - Welcome back!!
Marnia - I'm so sorry for your loss. Despite his short life, you gave him a lot of love and compassion. Some people would have abandoned him and let him suffer, but you didn't, you cared for him in a way that I'm sure made him happy. I'm sorry about your anxiety, it's difficult to cope with. I tend to hide myself away in my room watching TV all day and avoiding life when I feel anxiety creep in. Try your best to reach out to friends and family, give yourself a stress-free distraction. I always like to go out on long walks on my own to clear my mind, or watch some of my favourite films.
