I see it's been a few days since I've written in my journal. Where did the time go?! I was sure I was writting here just yesterday. I've sure been keeping busy...but I'm not sure what I've been doing. I'm still at my parents and probably won't return to the city until the new year. I plan to ring in the new year with one or both of my sisters and their family. We'll see what actually happens. Right now I'm cuddled up on my bed (at my parents) in my nice new fleecy pajama's with my laptop on my lap and my cat Chloe sleeping on my bed. It's so cozy...I love being in here when Chloe's in here too. She's so entertaining...right now she's laying on her back with her belly facing up and her back feet stuck up in the air...and her front paws curled up against her....and she's dreaming (twitching). It's cute. I made a BIG purchase yesterday. I just had to take advantage of the boxing week sales and so I bought myself something that I've been wanting to for awhile. It's a nice new camera with 15x zoom and 8.1MP. My old one only had 3x zoom and 4.1M so this is an amazing difference. I've been playing with my new one all day. Eventually I want to take classes to learn more about all the advanced features and how to take better pictures using the manual options. I'd also like to learn more about the different types of lenses and filters that I can for it. I'd also like to take pictures and sell them just for fun. I had some of my older pictures that I took throughout the year printed off and some of them I may actually frame and try to sell. I'm really excited about this...nervous too because that puts my work in the open for people to judge it but I've gotten lots of compliments so far. My aunt sells photo's she's taken and is quite the artist with various things (painting, jewelry making, photography) and she has told me I could easily sell some of my work. That's a huge compliment coming from her because she is highly critical and very much a perfectionist when it comes to art. The funny thing is when it comes to my own work she's always telling me to relax and that it is fine...so I guess I'm highly critical and perfectionistic when it comes to my own work. My moods are holding up pretty good. The occassional bad thought and/or urge here and there but nothing I haven't been able to work through. My energy is crap most of the time but I'm dealing with it. And I still have this stupid cold. Last night I couldn't stop coughing and there is a ton of pressure in my head. I haven't been able to breath much out of my nose in days either but it doesn't seem overly stuffed up. *sighs* I see my doctor next week so hopefully by then it'll be gone or else maybe I'll have answers. I just hope I don't need any more meds.

I hope you feel better soon honey. I\'m glad you are taking time to spoil yourself, you so deserve it. You are such an amazing person and you deserve happiness. I love photography too, i finally found a college course that i love. It will defo be worth looking at if thats what you are interested in, there is so much more than meets the eye. Take care honey and have a wonderful new year xx
Your new camera sounds amazing! We are all picture hounds around here, (nothing good though). So if you are talented in that area I say go for it!
