Hi Blogworld!
I've been gone for the last two weeks because I've been on vacation, it was wonderful and relaxing and now I'm all geared up to be at work (I'm so lucky to have a job I enjoy), and get ready for the Christmas season.
I've been having some over-reacting issues lately and I felt like if I blogged about them it may help me to feel better.
See I've always had a problem with being OCD. But lately it's worst, it's almost like I'm never satisfied with how clean our house is or little things like that. Michael recently finished the spare room in our basement that we are renting out, it looks great! But it's like all I could see was the places where the mudder/taper messed up (severely in the closet, but hey, it's a basement closet), or where Michael let some paint drip. Michael also had to go with a semi-gloss paint which honestly, I hate, because you can see every brush stroke and change of direction. Unfortunately he thought he'd surprise me with painting our bedroom (it didn't get done) and had to buy a semi-gloss paint for that too (*sigh*). Anyways, the point is, Michael worked really, really hard on this room and I really hurt him by just seeing the little flaws and not the overall awesomeness!
I really feel awful about it, I know that I need to just chill and not get so upset about these silly little things.
I just don't know how...
Does anyone out there have any tips for just letting the little things go? I could really use some help with this one.
Anyways, I should really get to work considering I've been off for ten days!
Let the Christmas magic begin for you all, and have a great rest of your week!

Happy Thursday/Friday!
So I have a few minutes to type this post.
I'm in an excellent mood today because it's the Thursday before a long weekend and Michael and I's fourth anniversary is tomorrow.
Although the one downside to today is that Michael is at the doctor's getting... Fluid replacement in his knee, I forget what the actual name is, but apparently it's supposed to be excruciating. Which really sucks because him and a couple of buddies are putting up the drywall in the basement today.
Back to good things though, we have a double date with one of our really good friends and her boyfriend (who is now our really good friend) to go out to dinner which I'm really looking forward to.
And it's a long weekend!! I LOVE long weekends, although I guess I can't complain about being at work too much because I go on holidays in a week.
So sending everyone happy vibes and have a great weekend!
Quote of the day: Have something to do, something to love and something to hope for...

Enjoy Life
Good day everyone;
I realise that my last post was very depressing.
It just all kind of came pouring out, it's alot to deal with sometimes and I really needed to vent.
Life is still good, and on that note here are ten things that make me happy right now:
1. Finally feeling caught up at work.
2. Picking out our fuzzy carpet for the basement that I love.
3. Having my ipod and music at work now.
4. The sun is currently shining in my office and feels really nice.
5. My trip back home is in ten days!
6. The new book I'm reading by Rick Riodarn.
7. Michael and I's fourth anniversary is on Friday.
8. All of the Christmas stuff is coming in stores, I LOVE Christmas.
9. Going to have BBQ steak for supper!
10. The show I love to watch is on tonight.
Trying to look on the bright side and stay confident.
Good vibes to all.

*Le Sigh
Good morning everybody;
I had a not-so-great night last night, having a better morning but not so great night.
The company Mike worked for at the time of the accident's insurance company called him yesterday and gave him a file number to call the police with to release the accident report (eight months later...) then they told him their own engineer would go over the file and make some decisions and comments and what not.
What this means we don't know. Michael is terrified he's going to be at fault for something.
Michael doesn't remember any of the accident, it was extreme foggy conditions that day and thus far no one knows what's happened. Due to the conditions it could really be nobodies fault, but who really knows?
On one hand (the worst hand) Michael could be at fault and be charged (although after eight months that seems highly unlikely), on the other hand it could be declared a no-fault and no one was at fault, and on the third hand the poor Gentleman who passed away could be declared at fault and we would be entitled to compensation.
Which has prompted some of our family as well as our own lawyer to tell us to seek a personal injury lawyer. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole thing really. My thoughts are so jumbled up right now.
On top of this Michael hasn't gotten paid this week and our mortgage comes out today.
Super.
Having a not so sunshiny day...
