Update on my life

So my former roommate, Mathieu, is not coming back!! And his replacement is staying until about the same time I'm staying until. And this guy likes Breaking Bad, and maybe he'll motivate me to go play soccer on Wednesdays at the school. He told me this morning and I had to hide my excitement. Haha, then he asked if there's anything he should know about anything, I just mentioned garbage day is Tuesday so he can take that out if the mood strikes him sometime. I cleaned the kitchen cause it was filled with boatloads of my dishes, lots of dirt from our shoes, and the fridge was gross. Now, it's all clean! William remarked how clean it was and congratulated me on a good job. Then I went and started laundry, cleaned my room and took photographic proof of the cleanliness to show my family when I get back. That'll show them!

My boss is leaving for 3 weeks, didn't hire a program assistants at the moment (they start on October 3), so greaaat. I was looking forward to the help. Oh well, whatchu gonna do!

Yesterday, I went to dinner with Juliet, Walter and Walter's sister Agnes. They both filled their plates SO FULL of chinese food buffet for $18. Juliet literally couldn't finish all the food she took. Even though they looked at me weird, I asked for a menu and ordered a medium chicken salad, house soup and tea. The soup was yum, and the chicken salad was an appropriate portion size albeit it could have been called cubed chicken in a fancy dish because there was almost no lettuce in my salad. When the waitress brought me the salad, I remarked that I hadn't had chicken in a little while so that's why I got it. Juliet said they only make salads like twice a month, I told her actually there's 3 salad options on the menu. She was surprised they were on there. Everyone around me was eating greasy chinese in heaps, and poutine as a side or french fries. It was kinda gross, but I just kept focussing on having made the right choice.

I was playing basketball with the kids at the gym yesterday for kids night and I was surprised with the improvement in my running, that I noticed from chasing after the ball down the entire length of the court. Woke up this morning and was a little sore in the legs and arms. Felt good.

I'm going to walk to mtl tomorrow morning before the gym, and after I run around the baseball diamond 5 mins. from my house. The leaves were changing colours and it looks marvellous.
