July 3rd

Today was another hot one in the 90’s; luckily the football game was at 8pm. We took off about 6 to get there by 8, took the train and bought the tickets… so weird to just buy tickets at the stadium. The tickets were like 40 bucks a person and pretty good seats row 34 seats 15&16 we were right on the end zone. We went there a bit early to make sure we could get tickets and so I could be a total tourist ^_^ It was very weird to see all that green and gold and PA system ‘lets hear it for our green and gold” and “show your support for your green and gold”. To commemorate my first football game in Canada and to how our support for our home team we wandered to the shop. Chris always wanted a jersey for the Eskimos. So BAM he just buys himself a CFL jersey and hat for the team and buys me a CFL jersey as well, it’s huge but he liked it so bought it for me.

After we changed to team colors we headed to our seats and Chris went and got us water and hotdogs, seriously the hotdogs were the size of our brats at Lambo, it was crazy.

Soon the stadium filled up and the game started. This was their first home game and only second game of the season. The Esk’s started off strong and keep that way threw the whole game. It was a great game to be able to be at; it wasn’t slow or boring like the few I watched on the TV so far. The weather turned from to hot to handle to humid, sticky and hard to breathe but by 4th quarter it was much cooler and had a nice breeze.

Toward the end of the 4th the chargers (Calgary) was ahead we had like just over a min or so to play and it was our ball, and this amazing play and the guy who has dropped all throws to him so far actually caught it and ran his butt off then, mind you know one seems to know how but he makes it to the end zone and just that he just made the corner for the win. The crowd went crazy the whole stadium was raring it was unreal feeling.

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
