bloated

Wednesday, October 24, 2007



Today was the first day of class. I can tell im really gonna enjoy it. however tonight lisa and i were having body issues. i was just sore from all the up and down, and she had the cramps. we also werent able to finish our projects, we were too slow so well finish up next week. Also, we had to to a lot of sawing, like A LOT of sawing, and i broke at least 5 of the blades i needed to saw with. the piece im making is an ice cream cone, and lisa is doing a mushroom. they wont be turned in to anything,, it was just to get practise with metal working, drilling, sawing, soldering etc. right now were at the soldering stage, i think we got half way through it. we put the silver pieces on the backings and torched it and put it in this weird liquid.. then we washed it. i wanted to take more pictures but i think she really wanted to close up shop so i only got one, when lisa and i were waiting for al to get us. i said 'make a face that expresses how you feel about your work' and the above photo is what we got.
also, i got a message saying i can get into that introductory to chocolate class so im really happy about that. its the day before halloween. oh and bummer, we have jewelery class on halloween. i really wanted to hang out eat pizza and watch a scary movie, but now there isnt much i can do that halloweeny. ill have to think of something or ill be sad.
so i think al and i are going to dress as posh and becks for halloween/matts bday. gt's! itll be fairly simple. too bad im not as thin as i was a month ago it'd be perf.
oh speaking of that, i gained ten kg's in a month. thats a lot in case you couldnt do the math. ive got to slow the weight train waaaay down. also, my doctor pointed out my puffiness/bloated face today. ive got to call the clinic about this. The hospital was awesome today, i waited for an hour and a half for a 5 minute appointment. Ah well, i should be thankful everytime i leave there with good news or no news, and no pain. and no visits to the blood lab. Afterwards i got a latte to reward myself for all waiting and bullcrap.
al and i decided to get a dominion pizza for dinner, which normally is pretty awesome. they have the freshest ingredients because, you know, theyre fresh obsessed. well today i decided to call in early to place the order, and said wed be by at four thirty to pick it up. basically, it seems as though they just made the pizza when i called and left it for two hours. this shit was not fresh, and some of als toppings were traipsing all over my good stuff. so i called in to complain, hoping ill get a free pizza out of this. i asked for the manager and was on hold for the length of a really bad song, and a fleetwood mac song. then some dim witted teenager anwered and said 'maybe the four o clock shift didnt get the message about the pizza' and then i said 'it would never have gotten made then' and then she told me i should have drove it back which is total bullshit then i said 'so i shouldnt call things in early because they wont be fresh' and she said 'uh well no, i dont know, maybe it depends on who's working'. it was unbelievable. so i asked her if she was really the manager and she said no just customer service. so i told her i was going to call back in the morning. now i have a story to tell as well. i better be compensated for this pizza dammit!! They cant claim to be fresh obsessed and then serve up shit pizza.
well thats it for today. oh and another thing happened, i got really mad at furley because she was purposely disobeying me, i think, and i felt bad about it all night. were ok now, but i was sad.
and who watches diffrent strokes? i didnt realize how arnold drummond was king of the one liners. its like his whole dialogue, one liners and quips. its not that cute. but its still funny.
bye.

Oh fun! I can't wait to see what you guys make as you progress.

Did your doctor have a theory about the bloating in your face?
