Let’s review my unfortunate list of bad luck since I’ve been here.
1. I lost my cell phone.
2. I got fucked over by Bell, and had to buy a new phone and contract with Telus.
3. My Labour Day Weekend plans for Prince Edward Island were destroyed by the wrath of Hurricane Earl.
4. I lost my wallet on Friday night, which held my driver’s license, MCP card, Social Insurance card (yeah, actually did not realize this was a huge no-no until I lost it), credit cards, bank card, etc.
5. Received another $200 phone bill for text messaging charges. I am more financially fucked than I have ever been in my entire life. It’s all my fault, and I have no job.
6. J-Nurse and I went body-slamming some hurricane waves, one of which took down my bikini bottoms and exposed my va-j-j to the children in front of me.
To say I’m more financially stressed out than I ever have been in my entire life is an understatement. I’ve been crying intermittently since 6 p.m.
As a result, J-Nurse and I are in our pyjamas drinking Captain Morgan plus whatever juice we can find in the fridge, watching “Wild Things” (a show about transsexuals who are 10x more feminine than me), and I haven’t gone for a run in nearly two weeks.
I’ve actually been having an amazing time here, and I want to stay for a few months, but damn it Halifax, you’re making it difficult.

Dang Candice! Hang in there. It’s just a test. Lemme know if there’s anything I can do for you (non-financially that is
Usually bad things happen in threes or fives and then your luck changes. Can you hit your parents up for a low interest loan so you aren’t so stressed? I take it you didn’t sign up for TBEX in Vancouver.
Life has a habit if testing you …repeatedly. Spend the day writing (something you are particularly good at) all your positive attributes. And go for a run. You’ll feel better.
Oh no, that really is a string of bad luck but I’m sure it will turn around. It can’t really get worse can it?
You could always do what I do – sell my clothes to thrift stores to pay my bills.
Hang in there. Losing your wallet sucks. It happened to me recently.
Oh gosh. All I can say is that I hope things get better!
Hang in there buddy! Believe it or not, and sometimes it’s hard to believe it, these ARE the good ol days. OK, I’m going to f@#$k myself now…
Weekend of the 19th, birthday beers. That is all.
You should just come here then.
Caaaaandice! Not the wallet too!! Oh, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. You will find a way out!
Are you also doing that Captain Morgan stance thing cause that would be awesome. Hope you’re luck changes soon.
Thsts pretty sad what happened to you. Ive had simiilar issues happening to me while traveling, mostly getting my hotel room broken into and shit stolen. This time im just forgetting things.
Enjoy your time there
I asked someone once, “What’s worse, losing your wallet or your cell phone?” I guess you can answer that one the hard way. Ug! It’s just a down-turn. It will get better, girl.
Hahaha, thanks everyone! Spent the better part of two days cancelling all my shit, I think it’s done now. Credit reports are flagged, new credit card is on the way, etc., etc. I do believe the only solution, however, is to take a few weeks and figure out wtf I’m doing with my life, because I need to make money.
Leigh, it’s incredibel what a bit of exercise does for ya! I’m feeling much better now. Thanks!
