I was so disappointed yesterday. I had a message when I got home that my course was cancelled. I was so upset. I called them and she said it was offered in a different location, which is way to far away. I almost cried. So the lady said I could look at the book and see if I wanted to do something else.

SO today luckily I found another course. ITs just drawing, no painting, but its an intermediate course, when I was going to do a beginner course, so we will see. Also they course has nude models to draw, lol. Its actually in a better location. Its at yonge and bloor, right downtown so its easier to get home, just a streetcar ride.

This weekend Im doing a art thing with a girl from work. Its an alnight thing, all over downtown. Heres the link to it, its sounds like alot of fun. http://nuitblanche.livewithculture.ca/


Phil is moving on the weekend, he has been staying with me all week because he had to move out of his old place and the move place isnt ready until Friday. Im sure he will be glad to have his own place again. He said he feels homeless.

We brought all of his stuff to Peterborough last week. Had supper with his parents and sister. That was nice because I was missing my family so much. His parents are so nice. His mom works in the hospital and his dad is retired, he was a vice principal.

Anyways Ive been writing to long and have to get back to work.

Life is good

My life is so good right now. Everyday I wake up and feel so good and cannot wait to embrace the day. I feel like a child. Im gonna buy a kite this weekend so I can enjoy the fall. Theres a beautiful park up the street from my house. and I cannot wait for the snow to come so I can play in it everyday.

I registered for a drawing and painting course that I will be starting in October I cannot wait for that.

Phil and I are getting along great. We went for dinner and a movie on the weekend. We wanted to see the Pretender but it wasnt playing so we saw The Black Dhalia. I enjoyed it but he fell asleep. I enjoy my time with him so much. I invite him over for supper and we cook together, he cooks mostly. Hes an excellent cook and we share a bottle of wine and watch movies.

Life couldnt be better.
