Time to make big changes in my life with lots of work to do in a short amount of time! I've never backed down from a challenge and I don't intend on doing so now!

On October 13, 2009 I submitted my application to join the Canadian Armed Forces as a Regular Force member. Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) is scheduled for end of August, 2010.


Up & Running

Ulceritus-maximumus-stressus-impatientious-pukus!

I have never been in such a way before. My patience is getting the exercise and lesson of a lifetime. I’m doing well actually but this waiting is killing me. When I worked in the school earlier this year, my patience got me through almost four months of what people would quit in 2 days [...]

Still no word...

Patience is normally a strong suit of mine. Usually I’m the most patient person ever. Except right now? I’m anxious. Tomorrow is the last, possible day for things to work out. It can go either way at this point. I feel like I’m gonna spew. So much is hinging on this.

I’m just picturing people in [...]

Five. Freakin’. Days.

I want to feel nervous (and maybe I am). I want [...]

The good, the bad and the what? Take Two!

Back at the end of March, 2009 I wrote an entry called The good, the bad and the what? in where I had wanted to set a benchmark to see where my beginning status was.  I wanted this blog to be the worst and the best of what I’ve done and mostly because I wanted [...]

Finding the Fire

Hello my friends!

I am just a mere 12 days from reaching an insane goal I set for myself back in May, 2009. As a 260-some pound woman, one should not be making goals like “Joining the Army”. No indeed. And, one should not set goals like, “lose 30 pounds in 5 months” when all her [...]

Kind of disapointed...

So, I find out tonight my ex of 6 years who is marriage phobic, has decided to marry this girl he has only gone out for 3 months with.

Ya’d think I’d be disapointed because he didn’t marry me, right? Not true. I’m disappointed actually, that I didn’t have a crap-load of pent-up anger to use as fuel [...]

So close I can taste it!

Finally was able to hear back from the medical folk in the recruiting area. They require more documentation (so, it hasn’t been given a recommendation of YES…. OR … NO…. OR ???????)

The documentation they are asking for is pretty easy for me to obtain over a medical matter that is actually very small (and what [...]
