Wake up in the morning, put on my face.

The one that's gonna get me through another day,

Doesn't really matter, how I feel inside,

This life is like a game sometimes.

Katherine, Mom and I decided to move to Fort McMurray in Febuary 2011 to catch a shutdown that would "make us so much money". We had an awful, long, stressful move which included a Uhaul, and Kat losing some of her tooth, we think due to the absurd amount of stress and energy drinks....

My sister Dana, and her fiance Bill lived there. Bill worked at the Sawridge.
I got a job at Bee Clean, doing janitorial out at Suncor while Kat worked 10/4 insulating.

Then there was the Japan Tsunami

Katherine and I at a Wine & Cheese tasting, at the Phantom of The Opera at Keyano College (March)

My birthday was lame, I worked a 12hr shift. It was quiet. 

Then I went and saw trooper with Dana and Bill! That was awesome. Trooper are so OLD. haha, that was a really fun night, Kat had to work though :(

And then there was the Slave Lake fires, which is Canada's 2nd costliest disaster. My aunts Michelle and Kelly lived there, my sister and her kids, and a bunch of my other family. Mom was working up there. 

Luckily, no one was seriously injured, and all my relatives homes didn't burn down. 

Then we had moms birthday, which we were in Edmonton for. We all went to the ledge grounds for the fireworks, which was nice.

almost all my familia, Cheyenne is the only one missing, my other sister. 

Mom's in the purple 

Then I got fired from Bee Clean 1 day before my probation was over, jerks. So we decided to move back to Edmonton, after Dana moved. We ended up moving back in with mom. She got a wonderful two bedroom place.

And then my mom got really bad chest pains, she went to see this holistic doctor and he gave her all these Chinese herbs and shit, and she got worse and finally she went to the real doctors. It all happened in a matter of a week I suppose. She waited for test results for way too long, the doctor never called her back, so she went to another doctor who pulled up her results from a database. 
She was admitted to the hospital on Friday or Saturday I believe. She was happy and healthy and told me and Katherine to take her brand new Ford Escape out to the mountains. Told Dana to go back to Calgary and she would see her next week. 

So Kat and I went to Banff and had an amazing time. And Dana went back to school. And then my Grandma ended up in the same hospital as mom due to pneumonia or something. When we got back, we all went over to visit Grandma, mom was losing a lot of weight. Then on Tuesday, Grandma ended up in the room next to mom. Mom was getting worse and worse, she started to throw up everything she ate. They had her loaded up with meds. The doctors finally came in and told us she had severe liver cancer and it had spread to her lungs, she had 3 months to live, they said. I think that's like the limit they are allowed to tell you, like a standard time limit.

She passed away the next morning at 8 AM of a heart attack. 

 Rest in peace mom
We had her cremated and had a memorial for her in Slave Lake and in Edmonton. I wanted to have one in B.C but I haven't put it together yet.

And now Kat and I live in Calgary, and Cheyenne decided to move here too. I am working landscaping and Kat is out at Kearl Lake. We have been fighting lots due to the fact that I've been losing myself in a dark clouded mess and taking all my angers out on her. We aren't engaged anymore. I've realized though that it has in fact been me who's been the monster and I'm starting to come out of it. Hopefully I am in time to save our relationship.
She is going to be living with her sister in Edmonton, and work there, and I'm going to stay in Calgary and figure out what exactly I want to do with my life.
I keep jumping around from one thing to another, not sticking with anything in particular. 
Anywho, today I'm going to start by cleaning the house.
