August 8

Things I am grateful for today:

• doing yoga and failing
• the kindness and generosity Matt and I have received from the few people we know in Vancouver
• Commercial Drive
  
• My walk through Yaletown with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (I've been listening to the song More News from Nowhere on repeat).
• the Skytrain
• My new and cheap The Texas Chainsaw Massacre t-shirt.
  

So those are the little sundries of my day that made me smile. There's really lots of other things that made me happy today when I think about it.

I'm trying to think about those things more.

In other news:

• I started training for the crisis line at the Vancouver Rape Relief Centre and Women's Shelter. It's pretty awesome. My first Tuesday was a giant spoonful of delicious feminist sugar. It made me really miss my ladies back in Halifax.
• I still haven't found a job. Poopy, yes. But I still haven't given up hope. I'm holding the recent turn in the Canadian economy responsible.
  
• Matt got a job. Woot! It's an audio-visual job. Basically, Matt gets to geek out all day about soldering, Plasma TV's and digital projectors.
  
• Tom took a shit on our walk today. There was a wrapper in his... ahem, discharged waste. I didn't get a good look at it but I'm pretty sure it was a granola bar wrapper.

I'm sorry. This was the best I could do for a blog. I'll have something a little more proper for you guys next time.

Special blog-o-loves for those who commented on the last entry and a HUGE blog-o-love to Shali and Steve who are getting married tomorrow. I don't normally get this excited about weddings but the idea of these two cats getting married makes all giggly and weird, like when I see a puppy.

Hugs and kisses for everyone!
