Orlando Claims: What I have taken ;)

Jobs, Grandma and Books....

Hot out today. Ok hot isn't the way to put it. It was a fecking inferno out! 32! That is probably the hottest it has been out here in a looooooooong time. Phew.

Went to the post office this morning and mailed Araliesse's tape and letter out. If you get this hon, I added a lot of extra goodies onto it. ;)

Mum and I went down to check up on grandma today. Glad to see she picked the hottest day of the year to go. Turns out she was sick again... God will this never end? So my mum, my aunt and I go out to lunch, and while we are talking I am getting more and more depressed about my life. lol Just kill me now and I will be happy. Grandma refuses to go into a home that will give her part time care. She'll still have her independance but when she needs help there will be people to do so. But no, she wont, because she would feel like she is abandoned. That is not the case. My poor aunt has basically given up her life and my mum part of her's as well to help my grandma. Dunno what we're gonna do. Making sure she is ok everyday is really draining.

Also found out at lunch something really shocking. But firstly you gotta realize that my parents separated when I was 15. Fine, I am glad that happend because I couldn't stand it. Mum and I move out (well me partly) but my dad hasn't really gotten the fact that they are separated. It has been like this for years. Anyway my mum tells me that if we do move to Ladner, my dad said "Oh I guess I will have to take that place in Richmond to be closer to you." EGADS! One of the reasons of the separation was to get as far away as possible from him! He will not let us go. And it has definatly put a strain on mum and I. What will happen when I move to New Zealand or Australia? *shudders*

So this gets me in one of my "life is hopeless" kinda moods and then mum and I go back to help grandma with some small things. Mum starts watering the garden and I just sit down to rest for 5 mins. I wake up half an hour later. Stress makes me sleepy. Then we leave. Thank you god! (It's not that I don't love my grandma or my family it is just when we're around them I get so depressed and I just cannot stand it. Same goes with my mum)

The good things about the day is that I went into Rodgers Video looking to see if they had Trainspotting or Velvet Goldmine for sale. Nope. But I did see a rack of movies with a sign "Buy 3 Pre-veiwed movies for $9.99". I look at the titles, most of them I have but then I saw some Anime titles that I love and was amazed that I could get 3 for $9.99. Usually they are $29.99 per video new, in the stores. So I bought them up!:)

I now have:
Record of Lodoss War Vol. 1
Slayers: Dragon Slave
Slayers: Explosion Array :) (sooo funny)

That was fun.

I now have a job now! Not what I wanted or was aiming for, but it is just for the summer and it'll give me money to pay bills and school and whatever I want. I have to babysit the squirt. Cheryl wants to go back to work full time so 2 days out of the week (cuz I live about an hour away from them I don't have to go there everyday) I will take care of him. A bit nervous because he turns one in two weeks and I have never taken care of a baby before. It will be interesting. I also get to change my first diaper.

On our way home I ask mum if I can just stop into Chapters Bookstore. I wanted to see if they had Dolly with that Orlando poster. They didn't. :( But! going on Jo's advice I went into the fantasy section and bought The Mercedes Lackey books: Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise, and Magic's Price. Then it gets better. Chapters was having a promo where you buy 3 paperback books and get a 4th one free! I couldn't remember Robert Jordan, (didn't want to pay $5.95 to get internet access in the internet cafe just to spend 3 seconds coming to my LJ to get the author), so I bought the first Dragon Lance book: Dragons of Autum Twilight. Thanks Jo, I think I will enjoy these! ;)

So overall today was depressing, tiring and stressful, but it did have it's good points. I am gonna go crawl into bed now and not come out until TTT opens. :)

my head hurts! *pouts* :P

After reading part 2 of 'Cherished' who cares about the stressful day I had! :P

Also found my old Biography mag with... JUDE!!! *drool* Re-read it and teared up at this part: "Law once came to work with a black eye. He had gotten into a bar fight with a guy who was flirting and harassing his wife, Sadie." I want a guy like that. *looks around* *nothing* *sigh*

I found one!
