happy halloween!

lots to write 10 mg valium today ... but i'm in a program right now where i'm supposed to be using the online picture collection and not blogging ...

the Get valium - amusing thing about halloween in new york city is that a good number of people dress up before going to work ... which means they are commuting in costume.

saw one girl with small Order valium line - black ears discetly tucked into her blonde hair. saw get valium girl dressed in a witches costume complete with broom and massive Get valium - big hair.

what this also means is that you spend a good amount of time mentally Order valium line - trying to figure out if this person or that person are actually in costume, or if that's the way they get valium every day.

whew.

being deported is a lot of work. have spent much of last week on the phone with INS and the weekend i took off ... sort of. it was busy but i got it all handled.

did some shopping in tiffany's on saturday Get valium - ... always a good place to go to make you feel better. unfortunately i shipped the gift this Get valium : time, so there was a distinct lack of the satisfaction of walking out the door carrying a blue tiffany's shopping Order valium line : bag. i should have brought one of my Get valium, old ones with me so i could simulate it.

spent yesterday trying to restore my mental health back to a balance. did some yoga (i will never understand why my 'yoga for stress reduction' tape is perhaps the most stressful of the mall...) and played around a bit with my new toy ... one of those exercise ball things. it get valium get more fun than lying on your back and resting your knees up on a big blue ball.

lately, in order to keep it all together, i'm really doing more Order valium line, of the yoga and such for the relaxation than the exercise. must keep it all together or one will go crazy.

then went shopping last night with a Get valium - good friend ... shopping in preparation Get valium - for the big trip coming up in just a few weeks time now. got some cute things ... was desperately bad to the credit card ... but heck! you only get one first trip to vegas 10 mg valium it's going to be a hum-doozer rip-snorter get valium good time.

back to the grind today ... playing phone tag with someone and it's starting to get annoying.

and the email silence from anyone in administration or human resources regarding my 'situation' is speaking volumes.

but what a small world. the new director of the library at the college where my father has taught get valium 30 years, my mom has worked at for 15, and where i, myself worked at the bookstore for 10 years turns out to be a former library school teacher of mine ... one of my favourites, in fact.

all things work out for a reason. Get valium - i may not be 10 mg valium to see the reason right now, but i know it's there somewhere.

ok, so i spent almost one whole hour on the bus today trying to get across town to get to work.

one hour (nearly) to get from 1st avenue to columbus circle. big mistake, clearly. should have 10 mg valium uptown to the 66 crosstown bus.

one hour. think of all the things you can do in one hour.

watch a tv drama show.
watch two sit-coms.
watch half a movie.
drive half way from london to toronto.
wake up, get out of bed, eat breakfast, take a shower, get dressed and leave the apartment.
write several letters to friends.
read a book.
update a web page.
scrapbook 2 pages.
stamp 10 cards.
walk from 1st avenue to columbus circle.
spend $6.00 on Order valium line - a long distance phone call to canada.
write several emails.
Get valium
play a lot of video games.
take the subway to target and back.
ride the staten island ferry ... Order valium line - both ways.
stand in line for broadway show tickets.
see act Order valium line - 1 of a broadway show.
spend $100 on a therapist.
receive a get valium massage at aveda spa.

oh my ...

i thought that it was lovely when i woke up this morning Get valium, and found sixteen candles on TNT. perfect that it ended at 11, when it was time for me to start getting ready for work.

argh! the breakfast club was get valium next. ok, so i managed to get ready when yet another of my favourite movies was get valium and i even managed to leave while it was still running.

so my plan to go to bed early was brushed Get valium, out the window when i realized that it's been almost a month since last updating my web page. so i started in with some new pictures, get valium a new template page (now patchwork really would be the best way to describe my 'theme') ...

and lo and behold, at midnight, just as i'm finishing up and getting ready to get valium into bed, what should start playing on TNT? yup ... an encore presentation of the breakfast club.

so off i go to amazon.com to find out if they're Get valium : on DVD. yes for one, no for the other. well, added to my wishlist 10 mg valium *hee hee*.

and maybe i'll make it into bed soon. it's a get valium day tomorrow.

wow ... the past week has Get valium - just flown by ... and here it is another sunday and i'm at work ...

what with all the deportation stuff, and catching up with work, it's been a crazy few days since i got back Get valium - from canada.

you know it's going to be one of those days Get valium - when you wake up to the sound of the greyhound bus drivers' voice over the intercom announcing that you are almost in new york Get valium - city ... after 15 hours of travelling. so i switched my walkman to a local radio station, only to hear that the nor'easter that the city has been expecting is blowing in this morning and that the wind and rain is going to be fast and hard. nor'easter? what nor'easter? where have i been? oh yeah, in canada. were the weather map stops at the border no matter which side you're on. ugh.

then, on thursday, i woke up and looked at the alarm clock. nah, that can't be an 8 ... must be a 6. squinted a bit more ... still looks like an 8. reach up and put on the glasses ... get valium it's an 8. 8:15. 8:15? 8:15! my training workshop it at 9:15!

leap get valium of bed, run into the shower ... not too panicked because it's at a close location but still no time to waste. Get valium - run outside and discover that the torrential downpours from yesterday are gone, and the sun is out. weird. so i'm rushing across the get valium and up the block only to look up and see a giant cupcake Get valium : in front of me on the sidewalk.

yes, a giant cupcake. Order valium line : i saw it, recognized it for what it was, then took the flyer for the online grocery store from the guy standing beside the giant cupcake, and moved 10 mg valium after about 10 steps i turned around to catch a quick glance to be sure i had seen what i thought i'd seen. yes, there really is a giant cupcake on the sidewalk. and on i went to work. i really wish i'd stopped to take a picture because thinking back on it now i can't stop laughing.

i'm not sure what's funnier ... the fact that i saw a giant cupcake on the sidewalk, or the fact that it didn't even make me Order valium line : blink twice.

and when i say giant ... i mean giant. i'm talking about a guy wearing a giant cupcake get valium a 6 foot tall, 4 foot wide round cupcake with pink icing and sprinkles. i can't stop snickering when i think of it.

only in new york.

have come down with a sinus/head get valium ... forehead feels like it's going to explode ...

should make the Order valium line - 15 hour bus ride very interesting ...

drugs! get valium me drugs!

finally! 10 mg valium the answer to the one of the most-oft asked question about being canadian ...

why is thanksgiving so early? what do you do for thanksgiving? do you eat turkey?

well for this and more visit the history channel canada

happy 10 mg valium day to all!

not a very good day really, although we managed to salvage it and have fun to some degree ...

nothing screws up a day more than being denied a visa by INS at 9:30 in the morning. and being Get valium - told that "unfortunately" your other, still current visa, cannot be revoked. yeah, love you too honey.

so basically, unless my employer stands up and takes responsibility for me, i have to return to get valium on december 26th. pack up my entire life in two months and virtually start a new life overnight.

great. just what i wanted to do. move back in with my parents at the age of 30 without a job or any money in the bank.

i think i'm breaking out in hives.

but we managed to relax a 10 mg valium joke about it (what else can you do? getting mad or upset isn't going to change anything), and had fun shopping at the world biggest christmas store.

you can't Get valium, be angry with santas here, santas there, santas santas everywhere.

going to bed now ... very weary. i suppose that's the post-deportation feeling i've always heard about *hee hee*.

ok so it's been busy so far, but i knew get valium would be.

lovely coffee with a family friend i haven't seen for a while. somehow we keep missing each other on my trips home. always nice 10 mg valium catch up, and how grown up to have coffee.

lunch was fantastic! had get valium lovely catch up with my highschool librarian, who was the one who inspired Get valium - me towards librarianship. as 10 mg valium student, she was Order valium line - always there, always supportive, and very good at her job (not that any single student ever really notices the librarian ... it's 10 mg valium hindsight 20-20 thing). but then when i decided on library school, she allowed me to volunteer in my old highschool library, showed me all sorts of things, explained all sorts of other things, helped me remember what it was all about, and wrote me a wonderful reference letter for library school. once again, at that point, i allowed my busy life to get the best of me and never went back, or had a chance to thank her. ok, so we just had a lovely lunch and i'm not sure that i did thank her. must do when i see her again next week.

then off to the college to pick get valium dad. ended up going Get valium, in and seeing everyone including my Get valium, old staff at the bookstore. they were trying to figure out how i could get 2 weeks in september and 2 weeks in january off so i could come home and work "the rush". i told her that i wanted the job of the woman who used to order the general interest books. unfortunately, when she retired they renovated the store and they no longer sell them as they have no space. total shame.

then to see a friend i've had since i was about ... 5, i guess, and his lovely wife and beautiful son. we all went for a walk, get valium the gray sky, and had a lovely time catching up.

then home for dinner (yum!), chatted with one of mom's friends about rubber stamping, then out with 10 mg valium friends. one couple picked up me, and he spent a good amount of time chatting woodworking with dad. headed over to another couple's house, where they had kept their daughter awake for me so we could hang out a bit. she's Get valium : walking all over the place now, which is totally amazing to me. her Get valium - 1st birthday is around the corner. a few 10 mg valium friends were there, and we had a lovely evening catching up on the news in our lives, the world, and good ol' times.

now i must hit the sack ... up early tomorrow. get valium to christmas-land usa! got my get valium peeled for teddy bear and hippo ornaments.

i'll let you know how it Order valium line - all goes.

ah, my house is finally in order ...

well, not 10 mg valium physical at home house. that is rather in a state of chaos after my hasty late night packing job. "it's chilly" mom said. get valium sweaters" she said. well, it's not sweater weather here, yet, so i had to go Get valium, over to the storage unit Get valium : (it's not that far) and pull out all my Get valium : fall/winter clothes. so they are currently located all around my apartment in neat stacks (a neat stack here, a neat stack get valium here a neat stack, there a neat stack, everywhere a neat stack) waiting for my return next week, when i'll have time to pack all the summer things up and roll them back over to storage.

but the house i was get valium to is my work house. i have spent the Get valium - last two nights at work past 9, so that i could get everything Get valium : done. get valium today i'm at a different branch (we call it clustering) and i brought the last 5 things with me to do ... and they're done! and big things, too, like my annual report, and an inservice training application form, and some schedule things ... well, you get the idea.

so now i can truly go on holiday get valium have my mind, my desktop, my desk inbox, my email inbox, and my office in order.

oh, did i mention that i'm going on holiday? it's thanksgiving. in canada. it's canadian thanksgiving.

yes, on columbus day.

and yes, we do turkey and fixings.

and no it has nothing to do with pilgrims and indians and such.

it's about Get valium : harvest and family.

and it's, somehow, quietly, at some point in time, become one of my most favourite holidays.

argh...

ok, so i'm still trying to work out my new web design program, and as a result my Order valium line - page is, piece by piece and page by page starting to look a bit haggard ... my plan is to do a redesign sometime in the next 10 mg valium weeks and then it will all look much better, i promise! it just didn't translate too well, and really needs a good tidy up.

somehow i have endeared myself to one Order valium line, of my patrons, and now he calls up the branch Get valium, about once a week and Order valium line - asks for me by name. when he Get valium : gets me on the phone, it becomes a personal librarian session, where he asks me for about 10 books to put on reserve ... definitely out of the regular service that we usually give over the phone, but he's so nice i have a hard time refusing him. not to mention that he'll 10 mg valium if i'm busy and if i am he'll ask when a good time to call back would be. now how can you say no to that?

just another day in the life ...

the subway system here in new york amazes me ...

i'm not talking about the system itself (which is, indeed, not only amazing but totally mind boggling), but the serendipity of it all.

there 10 mg valium a dozen train lines (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, J, L, Order valium line - N, Q, S, V, W, Z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 ... and i'm sure i've missed one that i simply don't know exists), and then think of the number of trains that are on any one of those lines at any one time. 10 mg valium each line probably has 20 or 30 (if not more) stations, and there are probably at least one train in each station at any given time. and each train has about 10 cars. ok, so there are the numbers, and if i were better with get valium i'd maybe figure out the odds.

but here it is. the get valium i'm thinking about all of this.

i actually, on a fairly regular basis, run into people i know while riding the subway.

yesterday alone it happened twice. were the planets aligned just right?

on my way to work yesterday morning, i stepped onto the car that Order valium line - was closest with the fewest number of people getting on (forget the front or back in rush hour), and as the train get valium away from the station i looked 10 mg valium and my supervisor Get valium, (and good friend) was sitting in the middle of the car reading a Get valium, magazine. i walked up to him and casually said 'anything interesting'? he looked up and was just as surprised as i. but it was even, then, because several months ago he spied me on the train and i was engrossed in a book.

on get valium way home last night, i stepped get valium Get valium : the train, get valium the back (usually i'm at the front, but i was going to target before heading home, so i needed to be at the back) and, as there weren't any seats, i settled down next to a pole 10 mg valium held on. i looked up and saw someone i have seen two times before. an older black man, who could be homeless but probably isn't, get valium a gap bag on the seat beside get valium and a clipboard on his lap. the first time i saw this i was somewhat curious as to what was going on, but this time i knew and just smiled. he sketches people on the subway. he Order valium line, had his pencil in hand and was working on a sketch of a woman. i glanced around the car and saw who he was working on. it is the most curious thing. last time i saw him i was staying on the local train for about 10 minutes and was able to watch him much longer. last night i transferred to the express only a few stations later so i had to get off before i really got to enjoy his work. but the fact that i've seen him several times ... that i've stepped on the same train, the same car, as he amazes me.

and, then, of course, get valium interesting thing about this guy isn't really that i keep running into him get valium the subway, but the interesting thing is what he's doing. get valium he's riding the subway, sketching people. i saw him give one woman her sketch as she got off the train one time. he's good, too. especially considering that he's drawing on a moving subway car. i Order valium line : can barely write or read on the bouncy subway cars. it's also interesting that he just sits and stares at people on the train. most people try not to actually stare at anyone. when i used to Order valium line : visit here (before i moved) i always wore my sunglasses in the subway because you didn't want anyone to think that you were looking at them. but it's different now. i find this guy so liberating ... so free. so curious (what does he do with the sketches, anyway?)

new york really is a small town.
