Family

Today I had to go the hospital. I wasn’t feeling well this morning and walked out the door and thought, maybe I would walk myself to the clinic as it was only a four block walk. Within 50 steps from the house I had to turn around and get someone to take me to emerge. I knocked on GB’s door and said would you take me to the hospital, I am having chest pains. He hopped right up, found the closest hospital and fastest route and we were off.

We got me checked in pretty quick and they took my blood pressure and did an ECG. GB called Roomie to let he know what was going on, and assure her I was alright. Within 40 minutes GB was aloud back to see me. Within another 20 minutes Roomie showed up. I was very pleasantly surprised. She said she couldn’t stay at work knowing I was there. In the end, after blood tests and xrays and the ECG they determined that there is nothing wrong with my heart and that I must have strained the muscle in my rib. They gave me ibuprofen and told me to take it easy.

The whole day got me to thinking about family, not just the family we are born into but also the family we cultivate over time. For some it is focused around a romantic partner and for others it is friends and roommates. All of my life I have had amazing family around me, beginning with the one I was born into and continuing with the family I have cultivated over the last twenty years or so. Today I was reminded just how great my family is, not just Roomie and GB but all of my family.

Thank you Roomie and GB for making today much less scary and way more entertaining than it would have been if I was alone. And to the rest of my extended family, thanks for being there for me and letting me be there for you.

I am a very lucky girl.

Busy ... but what else is new

No real time for an update this morning, I should be at the gym but I slept in, Although getting up at 6:40 is hardly sleeping in.

I am a busy girl this week, people coming for dinner, a symphony, a play, helping a friend move into town (woot!), but I did find the time to add two new dreamers to my blog roll, so check them out!

Gotta run!

bullet time

• The visit with the SSM was lovely, although all too brief.
• I had a dream last night that my ex boyfriend sent me a letter in the mail updating me on his life,thanking me for being good to him while we were together and gave me a cheque for $16,000.00. Weird.
  
• I was given an indecent proposal by a friend last week, I said no but it was flattering all the same. I have a feeling he may continue to pursue me. More on that story as it develops.
  
• Fireboy and I had a great talk yesterday. Regular stuff, less intense relationship talk ... it made me happy.
• All the mom's are gone from our house. It was nice but it is good to have the house back.
• I am hanging out with Awesome's ex-girlfriend tonight. We are both excited because we haven't seen each other in months.
  
• I am going to visit the SSM for a week in April. Woot!
  

More soon. But right now ... BRUNCH!

Wow

Last night the SSM and I talked online and I told him how disappointed I was and that I had been really counting on this visit for my mental health. So he rearranged some things and is here. He actually flew across the country to spend 24 hours with me even though it might mean hours and hours on Thursday trying to get home.

Have to say I am feeling pretty special right now.

Yeah me!

Disappointed

I had this great blog post to write about my Friday night and the indecent proposal I turned down, but now all I can focus on is that fact that the SSM just called and had to cancel his trip because of work complications again.

I am really tired, and really frustrated and really sad.

I hate this.

I couldn't do it

I was over at Awesome’s place last night watching a movie and some Gamily Guy episodes, and some snuggling, which seems to be our new routine when I am at his place. And as is our custom after a bit he said “I should get you home” and I told him I drove GB’s car over because I had been running late. “Really!” he responded and immediately stood up and took off his pants. “Umm what are you doing? What does me driving have to do with you having or not having pants on?” I inquired. “Well … If I don’t have to drive you home I can just get ready for bed” He replied as he crawled back into his bed in his underwear and t-shirt pulling the covers up over both of us. (I was fully clothed BTW.)

So I stayed for a bit and we snuggled and kissed. When the kissing started to get a little more serious, I couldn’t do it. I asked him to stop and if we could take a breather. He got up and grab us some water and we lied around and enjoyed pillow talk as only he and I can – Terminator 2, weaponry and buying lasers online – and then I went home.

I could have stayed, I know he wouldn’t have minded. He told me what time the alarm was set for and when I asked if I needed a permit for the street he said “No. Why are you going to stay all night?” Oh that and he offered last time I was there.

I knew I wouldn’t sleep well as I have been too stressed at work and the sexual tension would have driven me over the edge. And actually having sex, would have driven me to tears, not because it would be bad, but just because I am over tired and pretty emotionally raw this week – not an ideal situation for casual sex. But most of all I don’t think I could be with him because I know that the SSM will be here in a few days, and it sort of feels wrong when I know he is on his way to see me.

Weird eh? Well maybe not, but it felt a bit weird at the time.

BOO!

Today I was extremely hung over ... big party after work and today was to be my first day off in two weeks. BOO

I ended up having to go into work to cover for someone this afternoon. Double BOO

The SSM can't come for a visit this week because of work complications. BOO , BOO, BOO!

All in all, not my best Monday.

Mom swap

The Lady flew out yesterday afternoon after a wonderful week long visit. We went out for drinks and dinners, to the theatre and enjoyed time at home playing cards. She met Mr. Awesome and spent time with GB roomie and I. I will really miss the laundry service, but starting next week I should be able keep on top of my domestic duties.

Bye Lady! We will miss you.

As she was headed to the airport Roomies mom was landing in the city for a two week visist. She is here to spend time with her daughter (obviously) and to work on the basement apartment renovations. Woot, renos! GB told me that he left the house yesterday at 10:30 and the Lady was on the couch reading, and when he came home Roomies Mom was napping on the same couch.

It all gets more interesting starting Monday when the SSM arrives and we are a full house for a week. Luckily GB is away on Business so we have an extra room for the extra mom in the house.

Between the moms, the renos and the work commitments this week has been really busy, but starting next week my life should be more manageable and I am hoping to get back to the blogging again. Well, as long as I can find some time to blog when the SSM is not around. Wouldn’t want him snooping around here.

See you next week!

Just a little slow this morning

The Lady is in town an last night she and I and GB and Roomie and Awesome went out for a few drinks. A few drinks turned into 4 pints and two shooters, then off to a party for wine then home for another beer each and an amaretto (yeah we really needed that).

This morning we are all moving pretty slow. I just served up Kraft Dinner to the Lady and GB and he took one bite and moaned "Oh ... this is good. "

Yeah it is one of those kind of days.
