Getting better

Well the week has been a strange one. I have spent the last two days recertifying my Auditors Course for the Alberta Construction and Safety Association. Things went well, and I actually learned a lot more this time around. I am still hoping to do Lydales Audit prior to Christmas, and hopefully get our COR designation by the end of January, which will be really cool, because then we will be able to bid on jobs for the government and other larger bodies. Spent most of last night writing my research paper for lodge. It is coming along nicely, although it seems to be taking some unexpected turns. I guess because of the title, most of my research has been focused on certain passages of the New Testament. Which coincides nicely with my current reading schedule. It is kind of nice to be able to use some of the knowledge you pick up along the way, and plop it into a short paper like this one, and I am confident I will have it completed on time. As for the novel, things are progressing nicely. I still need to get my head around whether I have Ben in a coma during alternating chapters or not. I am worried that it will come across too sketchy, and the reader will start thinking too deeply into the story. Natalies character is finally taking shape. I am slowly finding some of her inner self and her strength and weaknesses, but it has been a hard battle. The diary entries are hard to write. Well that is not true the first one was easy. But the one i am trying to write right now is a bit harder. The entry will be written on the day she receives her acceptance to college. I need to put a lot in this entry in order to build the tension between Ben and Nat, as this will be close to the last time the characters are seen together till the end of the book. Other than that I need to find a name for her antagonist, or should i say her rival. I like the name Lucy. Or should I say I like what Findley did with the name. I love the allusion to Lucifer being played by the blonde haired and blued eyed Rich Bitch. But I will need to think about it more. And that is about it on the novel front. As you can tell from my last few entries, things have not been that great in my personal life. But hopefully they will get better. It looks like I might be losing a very dear friend. Over what, I have only the slightest clue, but lets just say gossip and heresay are involved. I hope we can get over it but if not I guess I will just keep putting one foot in front of the other like I always do. It looks like I am gonna go bowling with a girl I havnt seen in quite awhile, sort of put her on the shelf, I guess you could say. Decided to call her yesterday and she sounds keen on hanging out, and doing something other than going to the bar. So yes life does go on. I am also thinking about going up to edmonton on Saturday to visit Jenna, she called last week when i was leaving Brendans, and she sounded pretty down. I think maybe I need a Jenna hug, and maybe a visit to Y, to see how Tianna is doing behind the water bar. Last time I saw her she was spinning records too, so maybe she will be djing on Saturday that would be way-cool. Think I really need to see the edmonton crew, Calgary is a little fucked up. But I will keep you posted on that one. Hmm not much else to say. Work is good. Got another raise this month which is cool, but it looks like I might be taking on the responsibility for the safety programs in all our alberta offices, if it goes well, I will get free reign to travel to edmonton, lethbridge, and hey maybe even saskatoon, that would be nice. Anyway I gotta run, talk to you tomorrow
