i'm getting the spring cleaning urge right now, if only i had more than two days off and didn't have to get myself turned around from working nights back to days in such a short time.

i've been wanting to clean out my closets and get rid of a bunch of stuff i don't use. clothes being a major priority.. i'll probably donate them to the women's shelter downtown, and free up a bunch of room. i want to get rid of my old broken computer too and set up a sewing desk...

lots of ideas. i want to move my huge bookshelf but don't really know where to put it... and then there is gracies crate to contend with...

if only i could wiggle my nose and have it all done for me.

lugging stuff up and down three flights of stairs puts a ding in my motivation too... if only ross were here.... i could use his muscles.

anyway, off to clean out the fridge and take out the garbage.

baby steps!

so a lot is going on at the moment... the hospital i am working at has introduced lay offs. technically no one is being laid off, we're being reallocated to existing vacancies and some of us are being put into a temporary float pool until others retire in the next year or so...

at least that's what i'm hoping.. i still have my casual position at st. mary's to fall back on, i'm just hoping i get to keep my full time because the pay is great and i want to buy a house next year.

everything with ross is going great and once we buy a house next year, he'll be moving to kingston.. we talk about it often, and as long as he doesn't totally freaked out, that's the plan. LOL.

i'm teaching myself to cook.... well cook is a loose term.. i'm teaching myself to make things in a crock pot. and easy things to make in the oven. i've only made a couple of things so far, but haven't screwed up once so i'm not discouraged.

my sister got a full time job finally, so things are looking up for her.

the dogs have been really great lately, stella is always great but can be a bit overbearing when ppl approach her and sometimes they get scared because she wants to smell them and jumps up sometimes. gracie's housetraining is going well now that i've figured a way to barracade then in the kitchen and front hall when i'm at work.

i know i hardly update this thing anymore, it's just a lot of the same going on all the time, and not much to say!!
