I don't get my doctor sometimes. I wonder if I caught her in a good mood on the weekend. It was my annual visit to get a prescription and to get a few things checked out. This time, she encouraged me to get the HPV vaccine, which I was kind of weird. It made me wonder if she just wanted to make some cash. (It costs $150 a pop, and I have to get 3 shots -- once every 2 months.)

She was trying to give me a sex ed talk and why I should get the vaccine. Apparently, it's recommended for people ages 26 and under, but she thought I should get it. I guess it's always nice to be protected from STIs, but Mr. Nick and I engage in very low-risk behaviours. What I couldn't understand is why she would make this recommendation for me when I'm in a monogamous relationship ("you're not just sleeping with one person. You're sleeping with everyone else!"), and a couple of years ago when I asked to be tested for STDs with my next blood test, she told me she didn't think I needed to get tested. I think I will pass on this vaccination.

This Friday, we're going out for dinner for Mr. Nick's sister's birthday. I've met her like 3 or 4 times, and don't know her that well. But I feel I should get her a little something, like around $20. I have no idea what to get her. Even though I got her talking throughout the whole car ride to dinner on the weekend, I got no ideas about what to get her!! None!! (Well, I got the impression that she really likes toques, scarves, and gloves, but summer is approaching and I can't get her that stuff! BWAHAHAA) She's into pottery, traveling, and photography. She's not into smelly girly things, so no multi-pack of lip gloses. *L* I thought about looking for a little pedicure kit, but I need other gift ideas!! Help!!

Yesterday, I met the new neighbours living below me. I was thrilled the last couple moved out because I was always scared to be noisy (I live in a wood frame building, and we have hardwood floors...really hard to not let noise carry!) since the husband told me to keep it down the night of my housewarming. So now it's an old couple living below me, which means I'll feel too guilty making noise!!

We talked about how much we paid for our suites. They're exactly the same. I keep wanting to sell my suite because it's almost time to pay for the leaky condos. I'd rather be out of there before having to get financing. Mr. Nick said I could move into his place, and I laugh -- uncontrollably.

I feel bad about that. I'll have to apologise. The idea of moving into his place never occurred to me, and the last time we talked about living together (wasn't it just last month?!), we decided to wait until we'd been together a year to discuss it again. The financial aspect is all very tempting, but I don't want to move in with him for that reason. (And his place has no washer/dryer or gas stove :-p)

And I am still not convinced that there is a good reason to live with a guy before marriage for the sake of the relationship.
