Can You Hear Me Now?

It’s snowing outside. Again. WTF?? Last week it was so nice and sunny and Spring-like, and now it’s winter. Argh!

I’m only going to mention the Virginia Tech shootings here once. I am HORRIFIED. And I wish they would stop giving his creepy face so much air time. He is dead, we don’t need to keep an eye out for him! I have heard way more about the killer and his story, than those of his victims. Who were they, and what are their stories? I’d rather hear about that and remember them. The killer is not worth my time or thoughts.

Moving on to Celeb Gossip…

Have y’all heard that voice mail message Alec Baldwin left for his daughter?? Pretty scary. At first I thought it was for Kim Basinger, but no, it’s to their young daughter. I used to like Alec Baldwin, any time I’ve seen him on a talk show or something he makes me laugh. And I love him on 30 Rock. But, now… not so much. Making threats to your 11 or 12 year old daughter (I don’t know her age, and neither does he) is so not cool. Father of the Year he is not.

My life has been incredibly boring this week. Taxes, taxes, taxes. I’m getting a lot done, but there is still so much more to do. And more coming tomorrow. And then that should be it for work drop-offs and I can just get it all done. 10 more days!

Because I am so sure I’ll be winning that house with AH on May 22 and selling it and getting my million or so dollars out of it, I’ve started looking online at where I want to buy. I am finding lots of condos around $500,000 that have a master bedroom Ensuite, a pool/fitness room in the building, and centrally located. That’s great news! I can buy my dream condo outright and then have money left over to invest, travel and pay condo fees/property taxes/etc. for the years to come. I am SET.

For the time being, though, I am still waiting on that rent subsidy. I had to cancel my meeting with the Social Worker last week, and she cancelled on me yesterday because she is sick. She’s coming over on Monday now, and we’ll be able to finalize everything and send it in. Rent subsidy would be a great birthday present, since last year my present from my building was a big fat rent increase.

Speaking of my birthday, there are so many great things happening on May 1! Because it is a Tuesday, and all new CDs are released on Tuesdays, there is a lot of great music being released on my birthday. I keep hearing “coming out May 1st” and it makes me smile. Then, I have a friend who is opening her music studio that day. Also, the waitress we had at Cora’s on Easter is leaving for her vacation to Australia. I turn 39, AH turns 38, and finally, tax season is over. It’s a good day. Except for the fact that I will be one year away from FORTY. Yikes.

I’m not sure if I should be happy about this or not, but upping my anti-depressant medication over the past week has really made a difference. I feel SO much better. I know that feeling better is a good thing, but I don’t like the fact I have to take pills to get there. I hope I can wean off of them someday. Exercise and vitamins, right Tom Cruise? Actually, that will help. It’s no secret what exercise can do for your overall health, body, mind, spirit… So when I move into my condo with the pool I’ll be able to enjoy exercise every day. There is no other kind I can do that I enjoy. (Well, there is, but I am single and my mother reads this so HUSH).

Anyway, I’ve got a client dropping by in a few minutes. I hope she has a cheque for me! Tonight I am going to a friend’s for dinner. She just got back from a trip to Egypt and is making an Egyptian dinner for her friends. Yum!!
