Yes, there has been a significant time delay with my quarterly update . . . I can't even begin to expound (yes, I think that's a word) on how many thoughts, hopes, dreams and aspirations I have that have been related to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Almost all of which have been shattered, modified, or otherwise affected by recent events.
It started out as the best quarter ever . . . I escaped a job I didn't really like in a province that I DESPISED living in (I mean you, McGuinty) only to have a gigantic pile of sh** hit me on the way down the hill.
What makes life both tragic and awesome, however, is that you can try your best to do everything properly . . . you stow away 6 months of living expenses, just like financial guru / power lesbian Suze Orman says, find a job within 8 DAYS of arriving in a new country, and apply for residency within 47 days of arriving . . . and life totally kicks you in the balls anyway. But, like my new boss says, people have an amazing ability to persevere . .. we'll see, I guess.
My dearest Kyle, unfortunately, had a better-than-average night out and injured himself stumbling home up the 15 degree slope that is our address. His spinal injury was severe, serious, and definitely changed our outlook on life. Everything has suddenly turned up in the air, and my rolling 3-year plan was put down the pisser.
We're not sure how things are going to turn out (yet), but they're definitely going to be different than expected. In the interim, I managed to find a roommate who has an adorable cat and will continue to keep me grounded throughout a long and difficult rehab process.
The *real* quarterly update will be out soon . . . just trying to pick my Stars and Celebrity Stars . . .

I hope Kyle will be okay!!
