heaven in Alberta

(Before I begin my blog I would like to declare that I have a foot injury! Therefore, it is now officially summer.)

So hello!!
I'm in Elkford visiting Eric right now and have a fair amount of time to think while he is at work and I am crippled. Most of the thinking involves the near future and the fact that I can no longer put off dealing with unpleasantries such as debt anymore.
Dealing with debt stresses me out. Stress gives me anxiety. Anxiety makes think that I am having a heart attack. So how does one deal with this debt, you ask, if you are a stressed-out superfreak? Have no fear, I will share with you my answers in 2 easy steps.

1. Get rid of the anxiety. Incorporate the practice of meditation into your life. I am doing an 8-week intro program called "THE FULL CATASTROPHE". This week, my homework is to make an excuse each day to find 15 minutes to sit somewhere quiet and think about my breathing and my belly's place in the universe.

2. Track spendings. I will be using "Microsoft Money" beginning May 1. Everyone enjoys a good pie-chart, plus it will be interesting to know where all of my money is going as I have no idea. Any predictions?

So that's the plan. Pie charts to follow!

Lastly, I am also thinking about my living in ALBERTA. I always laughed at the chumps stuck living in Alberta, now I must accept that I am one of them. I've visited Alberta several times in the past, and I understand that beef, big trucks, fake boobs, and "All hell for a basement" are good albertan things, yet I worry.

I worry about the music. Country music has always made me want to rip out my intestines with a fork, and, speaking of forks, I also worry about the food. Will there be Italian delis? Greek supermarkets? Japanese Superstores? SEAFOOD?

Oh god.
I'll let you know how it all turns out.
