Lunch

Today for lunch Olive and I (I went to work for the third day in a row) walked into gastown to this cafe that makes great sandwiches and pasts salad. I only had a sandwich today but it's was sooo bloody good; roasted mushrooms, avocado, spinach and melted cheese on foccacia. So good.

I've only been putting in 4 or 5 hour days at work but I am getting things done at a very good pace so I feel good about it. I think I'm going to o the same next week but try to go in all five days. I'm going to have to get used to it wheather I like it or not.

Tonight I am going to the album release I have already mentioned a bunch but I am excited. Only Titania is coming with me but it'll be good that way. Tomorrow morning I'm going to ikea, then Titania are going to lunch, shopping (power cord so I can use my laptop!) and then getting our hair cut. Just a trim for me but they will blow it out straight so I'll feel super great for a few days.

Aside from all that goodness, I think I've gained some weight since getting back. I'm sure the decrease in walking daily makes a difference but I'm walking to and from work everyday and Olive and I have been taking walks during Lunch and Titania and I are walking on some evenings. I just can't stand paying for the stupid bus as much as it costs unless I need to go far away. Also Titania mentioned this morning that she wanted to start working out in the morning so I might join her but the only shoes I have that are ok for running are still in Europe. I could roller skate though.

I'm also feeling sick which might me due to a new medication to help my cramps becasue my old one was pulled off the market due to findings that show an increased risk in heart failure for people taking it regularly (I was not). SO they put me on this type of med that is a very strong type of advil but when I was on a similar but less strong kind before I found the one that worked it made me really sick and they had to give me another prescription so that I could eat again becasue my stomache revolted. Anyways, they gave me a stronger one becasue the only other alternative was birth control pills and I decided to try the meds that I wouldn't have to take everyday. All that said I feel like my stomache is not happy but I took the meds on Monday and felt fine until yesterday so that might not be the cause.

Last health related complaint is that some think is wrong ith the left side of my back/neck/shoulder and whenever I move in a certain way I feel a sharp pain and it does not make me at all happy. I am going to dry the dishes so the kitchen will be clean to make a salad for dinner once Titania gets home. I might also try to do some stretching to help my back. Otherwise things are ok though. I have some boy (or lack-of-boy) thoughts rummaging through my head but nothing worthy of posting. I will be visitng virgin tomorrow though to get a new record maybe so we'll see if that has any effect.

Actually, ntohing will occur becasue I'm dealing with another health thing right now that makes me feel pretty shitty about myself but I'm not ready to talk about here. Somehow talking about it makes it more real and I think that it should matter to me or others. But it really matters to me and I think if I say it here everyone who reads will be like "that's why she's single...now I get it". Although you may already get it without this thing so who knows. This who thing is actually why I didn't even ask him a question about anything last time I was there.

More tomorrow I think. I have an invite out tomorrow with a whole new crowd but I'm not sure if I'll acecpt. Back pain, and self-confidence need adjusting to do so.
