A lot can happen between posts

I thought it had been a lot longer than 5 months since my last post. 5 months is still a long time but less than I remembered. My blog seems very distant so today is going to change that. Facebook on the other hand is very present. In fact, it's right in the next Firefox tab. It's an addiction. Seriously.

Currently lying on the couch in my PJ's watching the Canucks desperately trying to win (but losing 5-3 currently) Game 4 of the playoffs against Chicago. It's quite a good game..would be better if they were winning..Go Canucks GO! Have eaten sizeable portion of Dairy Milk bar I purchased last week(yeah I know, it's impressive it's been in my house that long untouched) and contemplating/resisting another 4 squares. I knew if I opened it, it would be hard not to eat the whole thing. Just to clarify, we are not talking a normal sized bar here, it's 3 x normal size. Therein lies the problem.

I should reference the title of the post. This is what has happened since then, I think in correct order:

• Christmas
• New Years
• The Olympics (still suffering withdrawal symptoms from that)
• Bad fall on knee on some stairs during Olympics (still suffering from that)
• Went to Hawaii (with rather swollen and purple knee)
• Passed my 2 nd kickboxing belt test (got an A+ for push ups-super pumped about that)
• Separated from my husband
• Moved in to my own place
• Registerered and have been training for a triathlon (which is in 2 weeks time)
• pulled my hip flexor badly in kickboxing (6 weeks ago...still sore)
• Gave myself the title of swimmer as I can now do flip turns
• lost my Kitty (she had to be put to sleep. Sadness)
• Successfully managed to read ZERO book club books
• Got a new cellphone with a touch screen
• went to see a Canucks game (my first ever since living in Vancouver)

Everything on the list is significant which is why I listed it, some more than others though, as you will have seen. Being separated and now living on my own is something very foreign and new to me. It's been about 6 weeks now and so I'm moving towards the "getting used to it" zone. That's very similar to the "I can blame no one but myself for any mess" zone and also the "eeks now I have to get rid of spiders all by myself" zone. Of course there are lots of other adjustments too and keeping busy is a good strategy in the short term.

Dammit. Chicago just scored again. Where is your defence, Canucks??
Besides the obvious upheaval/upset going on, the rest of my life is pretty good and the fantastic warm sunny day today was perfect for that Friday feeling. Had an amazing run after work too, the first time i've run 5k in a few weeks due to the hip flexor pull so I've been dying to get out there with my MP3 playing, the sun on my face and the sweat dripping down my neck. I think I would go insane if I could not exercise.
And as I run and also as i drive around this city, I am constantly reminded just how beautiful it is. I live in the best city in the world. Now all I need is for the Canucks to win!
