Yesterday was a long day. There were a few unfortunate events, but personal luck was on my side.

I met up with a naturopath for a lengthy appointment in the late morning. I have faith in him! I thought I was going to be late for my appointment since I didn't see my bus. I thought I missed it. I took another one instead and ended up getting back onto the bus I meant to take. I felt lucky that I wasn't late for my appointment, and I was also to squeeze in a physical, too!

Then at work...we had a round of layoffs. What a shitty day. I felt SO horrible. My (stinky) office mate was let go. I am going to miss him. About 10% of the company was let go. Yet...I am still employed. My office mate had been with the company for about 12 years although he had just transitioned into tech writing from office admin. I am on contract. I did speak to my manager about the situation on the phone (he's based in Australia). I just feel really lucky I have a job right now although my contract ends in June.

Since we were all told to go home (early), I went down to Washington state to pick my Christmas gift for Mr. Nick. I ended up not having to pay duty for it because they were too busy at customs! I saved a bit of money there.

And then that shizzle in Mumbai! I feel lucky to be a Canadian and in Canada.

This morning I found out that the sale of my dad's condo fell through. The buyers were not able to get the downpayment they needed. *sigh* So...I keep waiting.

So...lots going on. I feel tired and drained. It's been a rollercoaster of 18 hours! Our CEO is going to discuss further in an hour or so.
