Long Time no Post

Why Not? I just kinda forgot that I needed to....

So what's been shaking? Christmas ended, that's for sure. We made it through new years and in to the next month just fine. I went back to work and all was as it should be. Sebastian and I have been really tight this month and having some really great outings. We went to Stanley park on the bus today then walked along the seawall and back to work where we had a beverage and a snack while watching Bob the builder and Pocoyo on TV. We then took the Train and Bus home and had a nap.

My friend Corey got hired at EA in what we call "the Kathy position" and is super stoked for day one tomorrow. I'm glad she got hired, not only for the 6 month contract and having a friend around but for the referral bonus I get *massive grin* Apparently some of my stock has vested so I am hoping to be able to sell it and get my self one credit card paid off and cancelled. Then with a good tax return we are expecting we hope to pay off the other and cancel it too! Wow reducing debt is exciting :)

My life under drugs has been going well, I have been having thoughts as to the effectiveness of it all as I was really manic the first week or so when I was on it but just felt good. After that I have been feeling relatively normal and wondering if I was getting anything out of it. Thinking about it though I realize that I am talking to more people, am happier in my day to day, and able to function a little smoother around situations that would have gotten me in a bunch before. This is all only available to me when I really think about my interactions with people and how I work, which is probably good since if I was just going around feeling manic it would be a bad thing... heh heh.

Rigby is SO aware of what is happening around her. She is watching us move about and laughs and giggles when we are playing eyes from across the room. She loves Kate's singing and get a kick out of her stuffed bear. She has also grown a lot and is working on rolling over. It's amazing to watch all of this go the second time and know what is happening.

Ekawa?

I am so very tired today. So very very very very very tired. I tried to nap on the couch while Sebastian played with trains in the living room but every 30 seconds there was a " DAD!". So scratch that, let's make some strong coffee.

I put in the water and grind the beans, put on the pot and sit down to help build a train track. Coffee gurgles it's last hoorah and I hop up to the thought of this sweet black drink that I hate so much but helps the mornings. I grab my cup and fill it up, pour in some cream and reach for the sugar bowl. I put in 4 measured scoops of sugar and spin the fluid a little with my spoon. I place my spoon down on the edge of the sink and pick up this warm inviting cup thinking to myself that soon the drowsy, weary state will soon pass and I can focus again. As I take the first sip expecting to be greeted by roasted flavours with a slight sugary twist I wake up in a flash. The pure unmistakable taste of Salt. I seem to have mistaken the jar marked sugar for the one marked Sea Salt.

I'm awake, that's for sure. A Salty beverage first thing in the morning can do wonders for your state of mind. Although, make sure you have a nice area to spit out this beverage rapidly.
