This week has been a mixed bag of good and bad, but I'm trying to focus on the good.
1. I finally received my First Nations status a couple weeks ago after waiting 14 months (but really, I've been waiting my whole life for it). My MP's office helped light a fire under Indigenous and Northern Affairs and my registration was completed soon after.
2. My MLA's office put me in contact with a representative from First Nation's Health and they have taken care of my $600 debt to the medical services plan. What a relief.
3. I can now complete my tax returns for the last two years and hopefully get some money back.
4. I finished up cleaning, pricing and photographing my G3's for sale and I'm almost ready with my G1's for sale. It's about 60 G1's and 25 G3's. I still have the G1 babies to get ready and my extra accessories, but this will hopefully bring in some much needed cash since my Employment Insurance ran out last month.
5. A special volunteer position came up within Search and Rescue for the province. They are looking for Peer Support people for Critical Incident Stress. I have been working directly with individuals who have experienced critical incident stress for 20 years. I'm super qualified and I'm hoping they choose me.
5. I just happened upon a black Friday seat sale with Westjet and I'm flying home Dec 5-13 to see my family. The return flight from Vancouver to Toronto was only $280 and I had a $125 dollar credit.
6. Now this is super exciting - I should be able to bring the remainder of my pony collection home with me. I think I only have about 100-150 ponies left in Toronto. SO EXCITING!!
I still don't have a job, I got into a fight with a daycare worker today in front of a bunch of 4 year olds and I'm having to fight Sunwing Vacations to get the $1750 they owe me, but all the other nice things made the day brighter and that's where I'm focusing my attention.
