The Pad

My apartment looks good now.

A friend gave me a couch, a table and 2 chairs a few days ago. That makes my apartment fully-furnished now. I like how it looks now and I love the freedom I have in it. Now I can think. Now I can rest. Now I can plan.

I planned to do my laundry today, vacuum everywhere, clean the bathroom, arrange my closets.. and I've done it all! I feel more organized again. I feel in control. I felt so good I finally went for my haircut. I look very different now from the long-haired guy I was just an hour ago. I am clean cut again.. newly shaven, short-cropped hair, casual look.

It is time for me to take control of my life again. I am not letting circumstances dampen my spirit. I am going to drive towards my goal, with confidence... and with hope.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

A Visitor for the Holidays

Not much of a surprise, but it still got me excited. My sister spent the holidays with me here in Vancouver. I was able to convince her to fly from Montreal and stay here for a few days.

And since she spent only 9 days here, she had a hectic schedule. From the moment she arrived until she finally flew back to Montreal, she did not have much rest. We went from one house to another, eating and drinking. She and her friend went from one place to another, taking in the sites and sounds of Vancouver. We shared some laughs with new friends. And we had fun!

Next time, It's my turn to be the visitor. :p
