Shortest … entry… EVER…. sorry for lack of updates the past few days… between trying to get ready for this and dealing with my car crisis, I didn’t get to ‘finish up’ this blog pre-basic the way I wanted to. But heck, you go with the punches, right? You do what you gotta do!

My brother [...]

What a day. Can I roll with the punches, or what? I take my crappy dodge caliber in for an oil change and I leave with a new freakin’ jeep. I’ve had my caliber since the accident and my hope was to hold onto for a year — until I get posted somewhere — and [...]

I wonder how many entries I can come up with that start out with “The Best $$$ I ever spent…”!!?!?!

However, today I really mean it. Back in January I had originally scheduled a running assessement to be done but the accident pushed that back. When I was finally able to run decently, I developed bronchitis. [...]

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 [...]

Woke up this morning feeling a bit off and a tad of a sore throat. I’ve been feeling a bit run ragged the past two weeks and haven’t had much of an opportunity to do what I need to be doing. I had to choose between a paycheque and working out sometimes. A hard choice [...]

Sorry guys, too much going on to make a decent entry these days. There’s only 24 hours in a day and a lot of those are eaten up by sleeping and work — and leaving a very small amount of time for doing much else. I’ve been trying to get everything done before I go, [...]

Holy crap.

Running out of time, so much to do… this working full-time, working freelance and getting ready for the army stuff, ain’t much fun. I’m looking forward to Saturday, when I can sleep in and trust me! I will most definitely be sleeping in this weekend on both days because it’ll likely be the last [...]

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, [...]

One of the requirements for women to bring to BMQ is three sports bras. Um… not sure about you but I LOATHE shopping for bras and trying to find a sports bra that doesn’t give you the infamous MONO-BOOB, is near-impossible.

And, if you are an impossible size like I am (larger around the rib-cage but [...]
