So a little about me...

I'm Jeff and I'm from Western Canada...the good part, Northern BC and Alberta. I'm just normal oilfield trash that got interested in blogging. Can't say I am the most prolific or timely, but if I have something to say I usually will...So anyway this is just a look through my eyes once in a while...I don't claim to be right, but I'll never be left.

Me I'm stupid,
It's all I ever wanted to be,

Shock me again and I'll say,
Anything you want me to"

Wasting time

Can't say the job has been going great...some of those feelings from last year of just packing it up and doing what I like have come back. Its very nice to have that option. I guess we will see what happens, but I have that old conflict where I see the work ahead and the money to be had and I bite my tongue once again. It will be busy and I am ready for it as far as my health goes, scars are doing good and all that.....just checked my email and have another 5 sites to spot so the total to build this fall/winter sits at 8 and believe me that is a busy build program with more to come...lots of companies promise big programs but they always seem to fall short.

I was disappointed when I started smoking after the hospital stay, but I got on a Champix perscription and it seems to be really kicking in, the need isn't there anymore, but the habit and needing my hands be busy remains. I don't find it enjoyable anymore, I try not to think of it in numbers but I am down a lot and would say its around half a pack or less a day. Some of the stress from work in last month really kicked my ass and I will need to work on that...smoking is not the answer. One good thing is that I won't be turning to food, the diabetes prevents that...no sugar and constantly watching the labels has me eating much better. It is hard, never realized how much crap I used to eat because it was easy and convenient.

Its nice to not worry about money so much, I knew this would be the outcome, but I still miss her every now and then, wonder how things have turned out for her...but it was a messed up situation and I was to blame because I enabled it for so long. It will be 2 years in December. Maybe another year and my future is wide open...
