As always, long time no talk. What can I say, writing hasn't been on my mind lately. But I am back with juicy details of the last few months.
Let's start at the beginning, shall we. It's usually a good place to start, and in this case the beginning would be almost two months ago, when I lost my job out of the blue. Turns out they didn't need that much people, so three quarters of the staff got cut. You walked into work that day to learn that you were fired. Happy times.
But anywho, that triggered my job hunt that is still active (but maybe not for much longer). Still, job or no job, I had a holiday booked for Portugal and I was going! Not just any regular trip, though: I spent a week at surf camp. That's right, this little Canadian learned how to surf. Not very well, mind you, but enough to be proud of myself. I had an awesome time. Except maybe for Tuesday, where I got pretty bad low sugar levels and got stung by a spider fish. What a day that was. But I came back from Portugal with a kickass tan and a horrible sunburn on my feet, so it was all worth it! Even made a friend, my new aussie "aunt" in England. :)
After my crazy adventure in wetsuits, I came back to Ireland to resume my job hunt. I reached a new low at that point. The money was going and none was coming in. I was panicking. I didn't know what to do more than what I was already doing. Why weren't the jobs coming? I was burned out. I started having panic attacks. Then my boyfriend and I went to a psychic/holistic fair in town. One lady caught my eye. Her booth said she did healings, similar to Reiki. I gave it a try, and it was one of my better ideas. What a world of difference it made. A huge weight was taken off of my shoulders and I could finally breathe.
That was about two weeks ago. I wouldn't say the dark cloud is completely gone, but it's not overbearing anymore. Plus, things are looking up at the moment. Two job interviews in the same week, both of which are looking good. Hopefully I will at last find a job within the next couple of weeks and got some moneys flowing into that cobweb filled bank account of mine!
Until next time!
Don't worry, I remembered pictures! :)
City of Opporto, I believe

And my room! My bed is the one at the bottom in the back
