Progress, progress, progress!
The past week I’ve been experiencing weird facial pains (mostly in cheeks) and a tingling feeling along the sides of my face, all the way up and down my head. I’m still not sure exactly what’s causing it, but I think it might be too much caffeine. I’ve been pretty stressed since the summer, and as a result I’ve been drinking WAY too much coffee. I went from drinking 0-1 cups of coffee a day to about 5 a day. So yesterday I tested it out and only had one cup of coffee (totally by accident though because I forgot I wasn’t going to drink any), and I only had pains that morning. The rest of the day I was fine. Weird.
One of my friends from Ottawa was home for the weekend so I was able to practice shooting people. There was a huge difference from the first attempt with her, to this one. We were both a lot more comfortable and kind of knew what to expect so I got some decent shots. I’m pretty proud of them for it only being my third time shooting anyone. The one of her laughing is my favourite! Click the pictures to view full size.
I might be photographing another friend either tomorrow or next week sometime. We’re still working on when we’ll do it. She has some ideas so I’m excited to see what she has in mind! I think she mentioned something with her snowboard…
I’ve finally started to receive my Employment Insurance. It’s only taken almost three months! I still have to call on Monday though, to find out about my back-pay from November. I was supposed to call yesterday but forgot all about it. I’ve also been applying to various part-time jobs in town, but still no call backs 
Tuesday I’m going to a spin/yoga class with some girls from Starbucks. LOL. I didn’t have anyone to go with, so I mentioned it when I went in for my usual, and they wanted to join. Haha. At least now I won’t be going alone. I hope I don’t die from the bike though, it’s been years since I’ve been on one, even though my mom owns an exercise bike… it’s just never used. I sooo need to get back on track, I’ve gained about 10lbs since being laid off! I hope this helps!
My communication group has been amazing. I’m sad that there’s only four more meetings left. I find it so informative and helpful; I think I’ve made a huge change since I started it, as well as therapy. This year I will be a whole new me!

Photography is fun. I’ve been wanting to photograph other people, but I haven’t found anyone to do it yet.
Huh, that’s strange about the facial pains! Hopefully it is just the caffeine though!
I really love the fourth picture! That one is my favorite. Also, let me know how your spinning class goes. I’ve always wanted to try it, but have been too scared, haha.
the photos are amazing. I had to take stop, blur and pan action shots for my photography class today and I soo butchered them. lol
Pains in my face would freak me out. Maybe you should go talk to a doctor.
Nice pictures. The first one is definitely my favorite of the bunch.
Wow gorgeous photos!!!
I love taking photos. Mostly of my kids but I’d love to get into photography, even though I’m not nearly as talented as you!
Hm caffine pains? I hope it stops!! OOo i LOVE the first photo – brilliantly gorgeous. Good luck with the spin/yoga class, you can doooooooo it :]
Wow 5 cups a day?! That is a lot!!
Those photos are AMAZING! I wish you lived around me, I could use a new facebook default
I never imagined caffeine can actually cause facial pains! Aw, maybe it’s time for you to cut your coffee intake.
I love the 1st and 4th photos best.
Great job on the pictures!
