Trains and Sewing Machines

So I have been painting up a storm these days, it feels good. I have done about 5 paintings this month. Two people have, 3 are chilling out in my living room. I kind of want to try a self portrait, see how I do with it.

Shane and I are planning to move to Vancouver in the spring. Looking at prices and places, it makes me a little sad. They are just so expensive, and places that will allow pets are hard to find. We are probably going to need a room mate. Dawn… Sarkia… EEHHHH?

I… don’t really have much else to update with. Things have been pretty tame. We gt a duvet for $44. It was $88 but apparently it was on sale. YAY SURPRISES!  We also got a super colourful cover for it from Ikea. It makes our room look so much… happier.

Annnd that’s about it.

To be or not

So lets see things to update with.

Shane still has yet to find a job. I donno if he is just hiding it well, or if he doesn’t think about it as much as I do, but I never see him worry about not working. I mean I think about it ever 10 minutes. It drives me insane thinking about how I am the only one bringing in money. I don’t make that much, and I have a lot of big bills to pay. Rent, car, insurance, cell phone. And then I have to save up to go to BC for Christmas. I really want  Shane to come down with me this time, have him meet my family, since I met all of his. I also haven’t spent a holiday with them since I moved to Calgary. I am rambling here, the point is we can’t do that if he hasn’t got a job.
Speaking of, I am also worried about what happens if I get laid off at the end of December. They are supposed to give us a months notice, but I donno, I took a HUGE chance taking this job in hopes that I would be keeping it. And I keep getting told different things. I just wish they would tell us if we are going to be staying or not.

I got my winter tires put on. Courtesy of my mom and stepdad. I was going to not get them since they are expensive. But my mom insisted she get them for my birthday. After the first snow fall and my tires sliding around all over the place I accepted. They have metal studs in them, it makes me feel SUPER loud when I drive. Like my car is walking in heels. So fancy.

Hrruum. I think that is about it. I am pretty sure my body is telling me I need a break. I got sick, and I am always tired. I am also getting restless, I want to go see my friends back home and my family. ;-; I miss them. </3
