gingivitis

i think my can opener suffers from performance anxiety. the other night i just refused to cooperate and i had to open a can of stewed tomatoes with a bottle opener. i felt like a frickin hobo with a can of baked beans.

i've decided that over my christmas holidays i'm going to re-finish my kitchen chairs. i'm very excited about this. refinishing furniture is one of my favourite things to do. although, my experience is "light" meaning i haven't done it a lot, i have discovered its something i'm good at and like doing when i have the time. so that's my plan. i've got to pick up some new fabric to re-upholster the seats. i'm leaning towards doing each one with different fabric. similar in texture, but different in pattern and colour. the chairs themselves are wood. i have a palm sander so sanding them will be easy. ooh, i'm really looking forward to it. my kitchen table is quite narrow, so i only have 2 chairs out at a time, but there are 4 in the set. the other 2 are in the closet. i'm going to do them all. it shouldn't take too much time. unlike my last project... in my mind christmas 2004 is synonymous with wood fill. and red rose tea.

sometimes i'm impatient for things i know are worth waiting for. and for things i know i can live without.

i've been attempting to be at work on time. the last two days i've been successful. today i was actually 10 minutes early. this always puts me in an awesome mood. i think its because i'm not starting the day feeling guilty. this is my new goal. i have to be very self-disciplined if i'm going to make a habit of it. it will be an achievement to say the least.

why does being flexible often feel like playing dead?

soon enough
work and love will make a man out of you.

that's funny!
I have been too imersed in nursing lately... not able to think outside the medical mental box.

okay that makes much more sense....being flexible feels like you are giving in.

so happy it is the last day of classes!
