New Year

I just realized I only wrote in my diary four times last year, which is just ridiculous.

Anyway, New Years sucked. I worked until 11:30pm and then rushed home to see Shannon. But then I missed the countdown – apparently he told me "10 seconds" but I didn’t hear him. You would think when someone doesn’t get a response they would know that the other person didn’t hear. Anyway, that was that. No kiss or anything; although to be honest I don’t feel like kissing anyone. We finished a Christmas puzzle we had been working on since Christmas Day and went to bed. You know you are old when you’re doing a puzzle on New Years Eve.

I think I’m extra moody/unfeeling lately. I am being weaned off of Ciprolex and put on Prozac. I’m having a hard time sleeping at night and usually go to bed between 5-6am. I’m not usually even doing anything – the last two nights I just sat in my big leather chair with my cat on my lap and played with my cell phone. Last night I purposely stayed up because I have to work an overnight tonight, but its night like it was hard or anything. I even take Trazodone to help me sleep. :/

Speaking of which, my cat (Sketch) is 8 years old. I got her at 1 year old from the Humane Society. So, for the last 7 years she has NOT been a lap cat. Very sweet and affectionate, and loves to be near you but not on you. Anyway, the last two nights she’s been on my lap for several hours. It’s nice, but out of character for her.

My car…. honestly. It’s still at the dealership. It needs a new water pump and a new heater block thingy, which is $2600. I’m going to get it fixed because I’ve done the math and its cheaper to keep it than to get a new car. Money is tight right now though, thanks to the $1700 I spent on it like 6 weeks ago (ignition coil, front brakes, and wheel bearing). But I figure that once this work is done not much else can go wrong. I’m going to pull out some cash from my RRSPs, which I will be taxed on, but whatever. For the time being I borrowed the $2600 from my best friend – Nichole – so my priority is paying her back, obviously, as soon as the RRSPs come through. At least it won’t effect me until next year. :/ I’m lucky I have a such an amazing best friend. She is a real estate agent and has cash to spare… maybe I should change careers?

Last night all my good friends: Patty, Nichole, Alyssa, Heather got together for New Years Eve in Toronto and had a great time. I was stuck in Ottawa having no fun at all. I miss my friends.

I’ve gained a lot of weight this last year. I need to do something about it, and fast.

Anyway, I’m off. Here’s to 2013! 🙂
