Exercise and the black lung

2010-04-27T15:14:00.001-07:00

Wow, it has been so long since I posted anything! I keep putting it off because I am planning on starting my very own little blog about food! I think that will be up this week, but I make no promises. The last month has been a giant blur of final papers, running around alberta, and now exercising. Shocking I know, but my brother has been in town... Look here he is

Let's just say he is fairly fit: he often exercises twice a day, goes swimming every second morning, and eats super healthy. He is also a great cook. Ugh so having a brother who is better at life then me and nearby has forced me into action. I've been going to the gym, running, and doing turbo jam. Overall it has been really good, I got slowed down a bit by the fact that I was crazy sick last week. But now I'm feeling better and back at it. Though now thinking about this is making me tired. Nap time?

My niece is a bad influence now this has been playing in my head constantly

That time of year again

2010-03-18T20:41:00.000-07:00

I've officially checked out. My stress is at maximum levels which means that I'm gradually less productive. I have at least been keeping up with the deadlines of my in class assignments and starting to cook quite a bit again.

Nutrition ftw

2010-03-08T16:49:00.001-08:00

I'm ashamed to admit but out of the last four days I have eaten macdonalds food four times, potato chips twice, greasy western asian food, and a instant soup. Now I'm not fanatical about having to eat healthy constantly but this seems a bit excessive, perhaps because I've been reading this blog, http://www.choosingraw.com/ , where Gena talks about her vegan with a focus on raw food diet. I feel inspired to try to eat healthier and also cheaper! Meaning I probably should stop obsessively buying roll up the rim drinks from tim hortons and bringing some homemade lunches to school. I remember when I did the wild rose cleanse I ended up really eating healthy and also having to really plan and watch what I ate. Now I don't think I'm going to go to that extreme but perhaps something similar.

2010-03-03T13:49:00.000-08:00

so there are a lot of great things happening this week, my friend's Elyse and Melanie's birthdays on wednesday and thursday respectively. I'm also headed off to edmonton to visit my favorite frenchie Charlotte this weekend. But to be completely honest I'm most excited for this, http://www.downtowncalgary.com/dineoutcalgary! I'm taking my baby sisters for sushi on sunday at blowfish sushi and then I hope to go for many more lunches throughout the week.

My favorite picks for restaurants are:
-CHARCUT roast house
-Farm
-River Cafe
but really if I was not a poor student I would go to them all!

This week

2010-03-02T19:42:00.000-08:00

I have been fairly sick for the past week and also have a lot of schoolwork to do, and also have a lot of social activities in the next while, so in theory I should be trying to get
a) get rid of my sickness
b) doing some schoolwork
c) getting organized for my social events

So of course instead I am watching house online and reading food blogs. My new favorite being

she is funny, honest, unpretentious, and talks about delicious food. What's not to love?

Oh Canada

2010-03-02T19:34:00.000-08:00

I consider myself to be a good normal Canadian. I love bacon, maple syrup and poutine. I enjoy winter and don’t bother wearing a winter coat unless it is colder then minus ten. I often wear red plaid and been called a lumberjack more than once, (I’m hoping this is due to the red plaid not my burliness). I have traveled across this lovely country of ours and have been too all the territories and provinces besides the Maritimes, (which I hope to visit in the near future). My bestest friend is a French-Canadian. I am a polite, nice, and fairly socialist, although I have never bothered to vote, which brings me to another thing that makes me a normal Canadian, apathy. I dare to infer this is normal since only 59% of our population voted in our last election. Perhaps apathetic is not exactly the right word, basically I’m not very competitive, the only sport I consistently follow is hockey, (again look how Canadian I am!), and my favourite team is currently last in the league and it honestly does not bother me that much, sorry Oilers. So when the winter Olympics rolled around I figured it would be like every other four years and I would hear a bit about it here and there and it wouldn’t really affect my normal lifestyle. To be honest I always found loud patriotism a bit disconcerting and made fun of those who jumped hard onto Olympic bandwagons, like my lovely roommate Sarah. Well I ended up watching a lot in the first couple days which can be explained that the fact that my aforementioned roommate Sarah and other roommate Karla are nuts about these types of things. Karla the crazy foreigner that she is even had the audacity to tell me she is teaching me to be Canadian, which I thought was hilarious, but it could just have been her funny south African accent. Anyways more days went by and I continued to watch, I mean I love gingers so Jon Montgomery was an obvious choice, but it hit me last Wednesday when I was sitting on my couch, the men hockey quarter finals had just been won by Canada and I was watching the women’s bobsled racing with my heart in my throat as the USA team raced down the track trying to beat the Canadians first place. I realized at that moment that I had gotten sucked into the whole Olympic trap. I LOVED it. No wether this means I should check myself in for an MRI or just accept the fact that a little competetive patriotism never hurt anyone I'm not to sure.

Captain Lymphocyte and his team of infection fighters

2010-02-22T13:53:00.000-08:00

I'm attempting to study for an exam I'm writing tonight and the unit I'm working on is the Immune sytem, now this is not the first time I've studied this bad boy. It definitely brings me back to the days of biology and pathophysiology. Being the hard working student I am, I used to draw comics in patho based on whatever we were learning. The immune system became one of my favorites. My main characters were these: Captain Lymphocyte- the brave white blood cell who leads his team of scouts (b-cells), trainers (helper t-cells), and highly trained killers (cytotoxic t-cells). His sidekick is a chubby likeable fellow by the name of neutro-phil who eats bacteria like it is going out of style. My personal favorite of the team is C.R. protein who coats bacteria with delicious frosting to be eaten by Neutro-phil. I'm pretty sure I only used to draw these comics to avoid paying attention while pretending to be learning. But I still think they are funny.

I feel like this schedule is somewhat unhealthy. Staying up till 3am, getting up at 9am and then afternoon naps. I'm keeping a toddlers lifestyle.

2010-02-18T00:39:00.000-08:00

My birthday is over. The one day you get numerous texts, phone calls, and postings on your facebook wall for nothing you have done. I love it!

2010-02-17T21:08:00.001-08:00

Today is my 22nd birthday. I had a busy day, visited a lot of friends, but now I am happy to be home. Sitting on my couch reading a book

2010-02-11T22:36:00.000-08:00

I don't serp just because I particularly like it. I generally don't mean to. I just am simultaneously afraid of commitment and searching for a serious relationship. I hate being alone so I sometimes throw myself into potential things to much but still have backup guys. I always thought when I met the right person I would miraculously outgrow it, but I'm now afraid I will mess up any meaningful relationship.

-pretended to be a 17 year old mother of a ten month old in order to get information about resources... probably going to hell for that one
-my sister told me there`s an add for an escort in the sun, I think this may be a sign I really need a job
-drinking some tea and working on distance courses, not use to being home. Pretty nice but makes me slightly restless

2010-01-30T17:20:00.000-08:00

This is from the snowboard trip I went last

weekend. I look so happy! Probably due

to the caramel popcorn I'm eating

or perhaps the Ginger sitting beside me.

Deadmonton, surgery, and confusion

2010-01-30T17:07:00.000-08:00

So apparently my new favorite hobby is being conflicted over what to do with my life. I am super super broke, and my parents can't really afford to tide me over anymore, I need to move back to my parents home :( or get a job. I'm taking six classes so I don't feel like getting a job would be the best but moving home and commuting seems lame. I would have to quit my church and my life in calgary is pretty great these days. But lately I have really really enjoyed being in edmonton, which came as a huge shock. I think it has partly been that I have felt pretty useful being at the hospital with Sarah and also that I do have some pretty good friends up there. So if I was living in olds I could still spend quite a bit of time in both calgary and edmonton... while looking for undergrad jobs in both. It could work great or it could be the worst.

Snowboard trips, liver transplants, and french apple tarts

2010-01-22T12:28:00.000-08:00

My life has been strangely alternating between chaotic and monotonous. The chaos comes from taking six classes and still trying to have some semblance of a social life while being supportive and present for my roommate who is donating her liver to her dad because he needs a transplant. I think the monotany comes from me being stressed and shutting down thus sitting on my couch watching foodtv for hours on end. Overall I think it's going to be a growing period for me for one thing. With finances, school work, and more commitments then I have ever carried in the past it is a bit of a sink or swim situation.

Jersey Shore ftw

2010-01-18T16:25:00.000-08:00

I am currently taking three online classes so I try to set aside at least part of everyday to dedicate to them which usually consists of me looking over my assignments then browsing facebook, reading food blogs and watching mad men or dexter, (I have a secret hunger for online television), while I may not be the most responsible and organized student ever I do believe I am rather charming and definitely a bit of a foodie. Here are some of my best finds of the day!

-http://www.bloglander.com/cheapeats/ Quite funny and I love the informal writing style although I do not think I will be partaking any of his reviewed cheap foods anytime soon.

-http://www.offalgood.com/chris-blog Chris Cosentino is kind of a big deal okay, I watched him on The Next Iron chef plus on an episode of No Reservations, (Anthony Bourdain is kind of my hero ok?), so when I saw he had a blog I was all over that like white on rice or any other bad metaphor.

-His brother-in-law Michael Hearst is also cool. Who wouldn't want to hear their favorite recipes made in to songs.

2010-01-17T21:22:00.000-08:00

Good weekend I was less antisocial for the first time in awhile. Had a birthday party for Jane and I was pretty impressed with this french apple tart recipe, it was easy and quite tasty. Also went to church, volunteered and went to Lord Nelson's bar. It was nice but now im happy to have my own company. I really want to buy some more books and really focus on school as well.

Nice

Man I wanted to go to

this!.

Anthony Bourdain is one of my very favorite authors. His books combine my two very things food and reading. So I obviously wanted to go to this but I am way to broke and it is sold out now anyways.

Every night I tell myself, "I am the cosmos, I am the wind" But that don't get you back again Just when I was starting to feel okay You're on the phone I never wanna be alone Never wanna be alone I hate to have to take you home Wanted too much to say no, no, Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Never wanna be alone I hate to have to take you home Want you too much to say no, no Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

My feeling's always happening Something I couldn't hide I can't confide Don't know what's going on inside So every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos, I am the wind" But that don't get you back again I'd really like to see you again I really wanna see you again I'd really like to see you again

pity party

2010-01-06T20:15:00.000-08:00

At this very moment I am wallowing in self pity, for missed chances, poor choices, and the hand life has dealt me. So this is it. I'm going to be very immature allow myself three minutes to be a baby and then get over it.

2010-01-04T23:58:00.000-08:00

Laying in bed, I'm not tired at all but I really have to pee. Lol. But I refuse to get out of bed. It was my roommate Sarah'a 26th birthday today. Overall a really quiet day for me at home. I made potato and leek soup and just enjoyed being in my own home for once. I've decided I'm not going to talk to max anymore. I realized that I've just been lonely pathetic girl lately. But he obviously doesn't care about me at all and I don't have the same feelings for him that I once did, I just crave some comfortable intimacy but it really isn't worth it with him. I'm sort of excited to get back into the swing of school and need to really focus on that.

Lately I've been thinking about all the ways I want to improve myself, be more athletic, more outdoorsy, better read, more organized, better cook and the list goes on and on. I feel the need to be able to connect with everyone. I to plan to make some changes to have a better scheduled, healthier lifestyle but I think I need to also stop this self loathing.

I'm in phoenix. Late at night because I can't sleep. It feels good to be done clinical and finals. I feel a bit lonely though but this song makes me swoon. Girl Like You by Pete Yorn

2009-12-15T17:48:00.000-08:00

But my onesie is so delightful.

On a side note Roger and I broke up and I quit my job and my friendship with charlotte.
All negative things but I feel positive today and I don't feel like going into detail about all of things now. I'm off to eat sushi and study.

fuck this day

2009-12-06T14:14:00.000-08:00

eat my shorts

work...

2009-12-04T13:47:00.000-08:00

So I just found out I no longer have my weekly routine shift. Overall it makes sense for the seed, more smooth to have two twelve hour positions but now there is no room for any relief downtown. I barely have time to work right now but it's tough not having any income at all. I'm not sure of my next move, I dont want to become completely uninvolved in the seed but I find it too difficult to scrounge around for relief shifts at the shelter. Plus I don't really want to work twelve hours while in school. I guess I better pray about this.

Nausea, heartburn, indigestion..

2009-12-01T23:19:00.000-08:00

For the last couple of months I have been frequently nauseous. I'm getting so sick of it, literally, I need to get to the bottom of it. At first I thought it was dehydration and yes drinking a large glass of water with a bit of lemon juice in it, every morning seems to be helping somewhat. Also coffee seems to agravate it. So I've been avoiding coffee and drinking more water but everytime I am walking outside I feel like im going to vom everywhere. Maybe it's lack of sleep or GERD? But whatever it is I need to fix it.

consumerism, wigs, and cranky me

2009-11-29T12:31:00.000-08:00

I'm grumpy. Combo of lack of productivity for my required school work, too much time with other people and no time alone, Sarah being on my case, and just feeling slightly out of control.

2009-11-26T16:12:00.000-08:00

-midterm, went okay probably mid seventies is my guess.
-Lunch with lindsay, so nice to see her and catch up! Farm was tasty but now I feel slightly sick, perhaps too much cheese.
-Zelda
-clean my house
-Maybe supper with roger?

2009-11-23T10:59:00.000-08:00

I have a lot going on, but for once I feel on top of things and okay. Money is going to be tight but I think I am on track with life. I feel that I am drawing closer to God and trying to do things my way less and seek his ways more. Things with Roger are great, I feel like we are hitting a comfortable sexy spot in our relationship and it is nice. School is going well, I need to really buckle down and get to work but I think I'm doing alright and that is a nice feeling

I'm bacck

2009-11-16T18:37:00.000-08:00

Wow I feel like I have been absent from my own life, wandering around in some kind of cloud where I was barely present and hated all normal life functions. Perhaps it was stress or because I was sick but whatever it was I really don't want it to happen again. I want to live a life where I am present, even if it is not always easy or happy.

pissed

2009-10-19T09:17:00.000-07:00

This morning was slightly awful. Roger and I both did not sleep well at all, and he ended up waking up at 430am and subsequently i woke up, tired and grumpy and I was trying so hard to go back to sleep but I was warm and uncomfortable and crowded. Then drove him to work which took longer then I expected and now I have little time before clinical. Oh and my boss called and basically forced me into a friday and saturday team lead shifts. So I can't go to lethbridge anymore. UGH

I'm here, now what?

2009-10-18T09:50:00.000-07:00

Had a super busy week. Lots of schoolwork and fairly busy with work things as well. This weekend has been nice, went to a snowboard movie premiere and an acoustic house show with Roger. Both were so nice and I'm excited to go to lethbridge next weekend.

My mom called this morning to tell me my Opa isn't doing so well and he may not make it through the day. Ive been expecting this call, maybe not this soon but it isn't unexpected. I know he will be going to be with his Lord and Savior but I feel pretty sad. Mostly for my mom who wants to be there with him but isn't able to be. I don't know what I should be doing or feeling.

Feeling good feeling great how about you

2009-10-15T16:07:00.000-07:00

Finally school week over, couple things to finish tomorrow but overall I feel so relieved. Had the nicest time with Roger.. I think we just need to have more energy around each other. Plus I am starting to be more like myself which is nice, because overall I think I am pretty rad. Saw Lindsay and had a great catch up visit. Bible study tonight, I feel like im finally getting back into the swing of life.

so much to blog. so little time

2009-10-13T14:56:00.000-07:00

Spent the long weekend in Ontario overall a really bittersweet trip. Some of the highlights include listening to my Oma explain how dark people are happy because they are, " all like hey mang," eating some delicious dutch food, and seeing my opa. The lowlights being my sister's being fairly rude to me; to the point that I actually felt like crap, (I think I need to put some distance between us for a bit), knowing that that is almost definitely the last time I will see my opa, and things were rather awkward between the cousins. Anyway happy to be home but I am stressed about the amount of schoolwork to do this week. Roger came over last night and we finally had "the talk" haha it was the best ever, basically it began with Roger saying, "sooo I'm not neurotic..." and continued onto be the most drawn out indepth conversation which could basically summed up like this.. I like you, you like me, do you want to define things? Naw. Cool me either. I have so much more I wanted to write about but I need to eat some food and get homework done.

For next time- Michelle's experience in the OR

2009-10-07T23:08:00.000-07:00

I need to be better... my patient care is good and I feel confident with my safety in tasks, but all the charting and menial writing tasks need to be brought up to snuff. I am tired and stressed and should do more schoolwork but I just want to sleep.

2009-10-06T22:15:00.001-07:00

Tonight relax, watch gossip girl and get a good sleep.
Tomorrow transitions project, laundry, and pack.

Saw Roger last night and it was soo nice. I had a great sleep and a good day at clinical now I just need to stay ahead of everything.

stress

2009-10-05T11:23:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I hate humanity. Everyone feels so unique and that there problems and dealings with life are so much more difficult then everyone else's and I am no exception. I feel like I am rushing around with my head cut off, so much to do, not able to do it all, and that my life sucks worse then everyone elses. Ugh I need a good kick in the ass and just to get things done.

You and I

2009-10-02T11:46:00.000-07:00

I think we could be great together.. just a few hitches like the fact you have a girlfriend and I dated your best friend.. small small problems. haha. Well you left today and so is Roger. I'm confused and also feeling pretty distanced from the world and unhappy. Im a big baby what can I say. Oh well must finish reflective writing. Maybe going to see charlotte tomorrow will help? Or maybe I should stay home and get somethings done.

2009-10-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

Man my face still is killing me! ahhh and I am having a hard time concentrating on other things. It is not so fun. Roger came over last night brought ice cream and made me jello and I couldn't hardly muster energy to talk at all.

Gotta have faith

2009-09-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

Think positive..

my face hurts!

2009-09-27T18:21:00.000-07:00

Wah.
Oh man I am conflicted again. Anytime I am about to start up something new old habits pop up. I can't decide if I a) self sabotage b) am just not ready to be exclusive c) am a slut or d) am scared of commitment. eep. I feel like this should be an easy decision. Ex-boyfriend and I have proven that things between us do not work out why would I even consider going back for thirds, my blonde friend has a girlfriend who he is moving in with and I should even think about him that way, and Roger is wonderful and sweet. Man maybe I should just bang my head against the wall.

The boy

2009-09-24T18:23:00.000-07:00

I am quite taken with a man at this time. I have had a little girl crush on this guy since I was 18, I think it was his long flowy blonde hair and gentle spirit but I never really thought of him as a actual option, he seemed very unavailable. He is a good friend of my roommates so I was very content to be sort of friend/ aquaintances with him. He left to go to South America for a year, we kept in touch a little bit. Anyways he got back this July. So one night I am at work and I get a call from my pal Megan, she has won tickets to see MSTRKRFT and can't go so she gives them to me. The concert is that night so I'm frantically looking for someone to go with I ask my roommate Sarah but she is busy but says oh hey Roger isn't doing anything tonight.. so I asked him and we had a great time and then slept on the deck. OH YEAH and he kissed me. I was stoked like oh yeah I made out with roger but never expected anything of it but here I am about a month later. He calls me at least every two days, we hang out quite often and I am loving every minute of it. It is hard to get a hold of him because he doesnt have a cell phone but that almost makes it better because it takes all the worry and guess work from me. He calls me, he invites me places.. kind of old school but completely great.

today

2009-09-24T15:25:00.000-07:00

-6am woke up and went to school to study
-10am wrote a midterm which was decently hard and I didn't spend as much time on the written part as I should have. I have a short attention span what can I say.
-12pm racing along the highway listening to rob zombie (wtf? haha), and looking forward to a yummy lunch prepared by my mother.
-1215pm got pulled over by one of the countys sherrif.. I may have been going 167... my bad.
-cried the rest of the way to my parents.
-230pm sitting in a dental chair getting my mouth frozen.
-330pm all done.. with a swollen face, six stitches, four bloody teeth, and my personal favorite a prescription for T3s to show for it. All in all the procedure wasn't too horrible, slightly uncomfortable especially the bottom right it took my dentist four tries to yank it out and that hurt my jaw but c'est la vie. All done now and it can only get better from here.. right?

-drove home as the sun was rising

I love getting up early and really getting a feel for the day but I never do it unless I am forced by something. Midterm tomorrow, worth 30% of the mark. eep. So I best do some studying today.

Maybe Tomorrow

I've been down and I'm wondering why

These little black clouds

Keep walking around

With me

It wastes time

And I'd rather be high

Think I'll walk me outside

And buy a rainbow smile

But be free

They're all free

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

wow christmas holidays are almost over and im not looking forward to going back to school while besides my clinical. The holidays were crazy busy with the usual family stuff and then some unexpected funerals to attend.. I may write a blog about that later. Hanging out with max and friends I hadnt seen in a while. It was good but I still feel pretty stressed out, I was hoping with the break I would feel better

winter blahs?

I dont know quite what is up with me, it seems my sleep patterns are core off and my eating habits as well. I feel really tired and drained most of the time. I know all those symptoms could be depression but it may just be stress hitting me way harder then usual. Generally when im stressed I just tend to sleep a lot and I mean A LOT I remember last year I slept 28 hours in two days. Now I am sleeping a lot sometimes and then other nights im having some bad insomnia. Also I can barely eat any more, and when I do eat decent meals I feel sick. I know I was feeling sorta fat so I was trying to cut down on portion sizes. So I dont know if that is just an extreme reaction to that or what. And most of the time I really dont want to be around people, which is okay I mean ive always been an extrovert but its not bad to take some time to rest and not be with people but then when im alone I feel really dejected and worn out. Arg. I really hate to be like this. Its not like my life is so rough I should be fine, I have a great family, awesome friends, and a kickass boyfriend, I love school (even though it does tend to be rather stressful) and I love my house. I am having some financial difficulties at the moment but still. I wish I could just get over this.

mmm just met the bf's mom, she was super nice I hope she liked me. eeee. but today I just feel really down and crappy, maybe the excessive amount of wine I drank last night but I think it is more to do with my stress about biology. I NEED TO PASS

staying inside today

I had the cold, and today as far as I can tell I have absolutely no reason to leave my house! Sleep in, study for my exam and practice for my presentation. OH and eat a tasty bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and lots of milk. mmm

I cannot please anyoneeee

I feel very pulled apart, I need to be here for my family, be studying my butt off, and spend some quality time with my newly needy boyfriend ( I almost liked him better when he was aloof), and my roommate who likes to hang out with me. :) love them all but im tired of trying to please everyone and always caving into max because obviously I want to hang out with him even if it would be better for me to do something else

YAY! Finally done my biology.. well the labs anyways, now all I have it the final. Gulp.
Today is a chilly achy kind of day I woke up with a sore throat so im going to have some lemon citron tea that I got from TnT the asian market, since two of my roommates are half chinese I always tag along with them when they go.
mmm and I think for lunch of going to make some perogies and sausages.. fried with onion and some peas on the side.. one of my very favorite meals. Perhaps ill even make a chocolate cake for dessert.

Best comfort food ever!

There are not many things I despise more then winter and one of my only cures for the winter blues is my mothers homemade chicken noodle soup. Ate some today with some buttered bread, PURE BLISS

My life of stress and agony

One sleepless night last week when thoughts were tumbling over in my little brain, I came across the fabulous idea that I should create a blog. Mainly to talk about the love of my life food and im sure a few other things will pop up such as my family who I happen to be rather fond of mainly because they are rather witty and goodlooking (I may be biased), and also another thing I love but never ceases to cause me endless stress which is my quest for a degree in nursing. I am in my second year now at mount royal college.
