I've been keeping this diary since June 18, 2000.

My name is Melissa, I'm 33, and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm married with no kids. A homeowner. A social worker. My life is fairly drama-free.

Stress

December 18, 2017
This weekend was pretty chill, which is good because I've been going non-stop. I worked at the Masonic Centre on Saturday. The Shriners were having a children's Christmas party, so that was fun. Saturday night Shannon and I ate a meal together and watched Christmas movies. :) Sunday I did a whole...

    I'm at work, but my 11:30 AM appointment is not here yet. It's already 11:48 AM so I probably won't see him even if he does show up. I took my guinea pigs (Daisy and Nutmeg) to the vet yesterday to get their nails clipped. They managed to cut one of Daisy's toes and it…

    Apparently my parents ARE coming for Christmas now. They didn't want my husband to be alone and so they're making the trip even though my stepdad has dementia. It will be challenging but at least we will all be together. Shannon had a colonoscopy yesterday, so I took the day off work. He was bein...

    Today was fairly uneventful (see a pattern here?) Set my alarm clock a half hour earlier today because it was snowing last night. Actually got to work on time (yay me!) and I didn’t get scheduled an intake, which is basically unheard of, but I guess I did one in the afternoon on Friday (I…

    I woke up around 7:30 AM this morning. So much for sleeping in! Shannon is off today and I didn’t work until 12:30 PM so we went out and got a few more Christmas gifts. We picked up a dutch oven for his mom and a tape measure for his stepdad. We still have to…

    This is the last of the wedding photos, I promise. I woke up at 5:09 AM which was good because my alarm was set to 5:30 AM anyway. I woke up because I had a dream that my husband was divorcing me for no good reason. Except my husband’s name was Jamie and he didn’t…

    More of my favourite pictures :) Usually I look forward to Fridays but my weekend is an absolute bust this time. I went to bed at 6:30 PM last night and I STILL couldn’t make it to work on time this morning (7:30 AM). Tomorrow I have to be all the friggin’ way across town…

    More of my favourite pictures 🙂 Today was fairly uneventful. I got to sleep in until 8:00 AM which is awesome considering I usually have to be at my desk by 7:30 AM. I had to take my car to be under coated and my husband had to work. He’s still on probation at his…

    OD is not letting me leave notes for anyone today. 🙁 I'm at work again but on break. Today was much more busy than yesterday. I'm sleepy and in a grumpy mood for no apparent reason. But that probably means my period is coming. I stopped taking Femera last month and I'm starting a liquid diet on&h...

    This is my favorite picture of my husband and I... circa June 18, 2011. I’ve gained 100 lbs and I hardly wear make-up or put on a dress these days but you get the idea. We had pictures taken last fall but they’re on a USB key somewhere and who knows where that is? I…
