I have moved all my stuff into the studio downtown and am looking forward to some poor weather. I can't force myself to stay inside ALL day so I'm slacking a bit on my office hours. Do people understand why I'm not there? I work in a beige cube all day! How can I be so cruel to myself; to remain inside, whether it's in the studio or not, after "regular work" when it's still 28 degrees out? I can justify it because most of the inspiration I find is found outside while playing. I'll post some pics of my wee studio here next week, it's so cute!

Lookee Lookee,

I'm back in blogland again.

Yep, I got spanked by Karma and needed a place to whine, I've missed you Blogger. I don't even know who still posts. I will go see now. Write me, I need your support. Pathetic but I need all the help I can get right now.

I've been doing fairly well at my new job; any operational gaffes I've experienced are balanced out by my success with the clients I have. The business of pension administration is not nearly as dry as you'd expect. I've learned a tonne of stuff about how big plans work, (I'm in Institutional Investors again,) and am fascinated by the decisions the money managers make. So that's good. I've begun to look seriously at tax planning as a way out of my own personal financial woes. I must be strong. I have to prove to myself that I'm as smart as I think I am, and produce some positive results. I'm investing like a madwoman; a madwoman who'd rather have food to eat when she's ninety, than now. Sounds dramatic, but it's not that bad, I've been in worse spots, time and time again.

The homefront is so-so, I'm feeling rather put out at the moment so I'll spare you the details.

Jorden's in the hospital still, he's been stuck in there over a month and I'm so worried about what's going to happen when he gets out. It's hard to keep finding the energy to hope, when things are so bleak all the time. Such is life. to be con't.

I'm at work. You'd think that they'd restrict this site. Things are sort of good, mostly. I'm waiting for lunch. Downtown Calgary is alright, there a Holt's downstairs and If I wasn't in Friday casual, I might go there. Usually I go to Devonian Gadens and read. I spend less money this way. I'm going to try incredibly hard to get my budget under control this year...

I think once I learn how to relax and don't require constant stress, I will like this job a lot.
