Things are going pretty good these days. Slowly getting figured out at work — my new job. It’s a pretty cool job but a steep learning curve. However, my two bosses seem pretty comfortable with giving me the responsibilities. Maybe I just need to have more faith in myself.

It does make me feel good though [...]

I’ve mentioned a few times how I’ve been a tad on the exhausted side, getting ready for everything. My vitamin C regime appears to have worked and my throat is feeling tonnes better today. This is awesome news, believe me! I’d hate to start training sick. So, this is good!  However, overall I haven’t taken the time to [...]

Had my official swearing-in ceremony today! It’s official, I’m a Private! …. well, a private with an (R) beside it meaning, recruit. When BMQ is done, that’ll be removed but - still! I’m a private!

Who woulda thunk a year ago I would ever be here? Around this time I was waiting, waiting, waiting for my [...]

Exhausted. I’ve spent the whole weekend so far working on my freelance work and now it’s begun to rain and is all dreary and blech. It’s one of those Sunday mornings where you kind of wish you could just sleep all day nestled on a warm bed or couch, watching your favourite movie or something…

Alas, [...]

Tonight after class, I ended up speaking with one of my classmates. She’s from up north and we’ve started talking a bit being the little social butterflies we are. Sometimes you just feel drawn to someone, to talk about things you normally wouldn’t with someone.

We’ve got a lot in common.

I shared a while back, what [...]

Hey! Just a few updates….

Ankle …………

The ankle is healing up really awesome and I’d say I’m already about 90-95% healed, after just a few days. I think that’s pretty good considering how severe it felt on Saturday and how the doc said he’d never seen someone get a sprain in that part of the foot [...]

I rested the crap out of my foot yesterday and slept with it elevated… taking the anti-inflammatories and I have to say, my foot feels a lot better just in the last 12 hours or so. Fortunately, it seems my ankle decided to take the “quick healing” route as opposed to the “slow healing” route [...]

Tonight I had the chance to gather with some friends after an evening of band practise. Out of the ten there, three are on their way to basic training. It was awesome in that the three of us could talk about our excitement. It was exciting to have a conversation with others who share the same [...]

Today was a helter-skelter day. All over the place with regards to where I needed to be. By the end of the day, I really did NOT want to go to the gym. But I did. I didn’t go for long though, just long enough to go for a 2.4 km run on the treadmill.

Just [...]

Things are moving along here pretty good the past little while. The following chart is from Traineo, a place I keep track of things. We all need a nice little pretty chart now and again, don’t we? To see our progress?

It’s interesting to see the ups and the downs on the chart you’ll see below [...]
