LIfe or lack thereof

Well Gramma finally had some followthrough too. 33 hours after my Uncle. My mother in screaming match with Cremation Society rep in front of entire family, freaking everyone out.

Boiler for the second floor is completly non-functional. After many sleepless days and many quotes finally found people who only need hand and leg from me vs. arm and leg. Making due with space heaters but 2nd floor tenant is crabby. I'm having a hard time giving a shit tho.

Had a weird Sunday Nite Str8 event with only one other person about a week ago. It was actually very interesting to talk to him since he's not normally one of the people I chat with much and he's fairly infrequent attendee. Twas cool. Also learned new word - skitch. Anyone else familiar with this term? It's totally part of my vernacular now.

Things with new chicka progressingly nicely. Made her breakfast on Thursday before she went to her parents for the holiday. (only cause the restaraunt we were meeting at was closed) So we had a car picnic. Major points for me. Hung out Sunday had breakfast at the joint we were supposed to eat at Thursday, she loved it. Went to a couple of estate sales, groovy cool bargains. Had a break from each other, then watched a movie at her house. Brought over one of my dogs and we snuggled on the couch with some popcorn and clear malt beverage. Work last night and tonight but we have plans tomorrow.

And asbestos abatement dude comes tomorrow to pull out old boiler. New boiler and supplies being brought in and if time installed tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Finally real heat again. The space heaters are lame and cold if you're more than six inches from them in this big old house.

homily for the day

In case you haven't laughed while crying yet today check this out. To add the the jammed packed schedule I've already had, my grandmother has been in the hospital for two weeks and they keep calling and waking everyone up saying "tonight's the night" crap and that the family better come in. Along the bad things come in threes line, my boiler is cracked and leaking water and of course can not be repaired. Although I'm getting more estimates tomorrow the one today said about $6000 to replace. And it can't be done until sometime next week of course. That's sooner than Minnegasco though, they're scheduling for a month out already. And then we got the call that my uncle-in-law took a turn for the worse. At least he had the decency to follow through and pass away this morning.

On a lighter note, I've been winning faux money playing poker, and trying to work out some romantic action with some new. Crap timing for her but things happen.

Time to go to work. *hugs* peeps!

Speed Dating

So I hosted Speed Dating on Friday night. It went well I think. And then I got a bulletin post on myspace.com about the color of your heart. So I took the test too for fun... And the coincidental timing has been making me think a bit since I've only been dating recently what I really want from a relationship. And truthfully I'm not sure anymore. But I'll be thinking about it.

Your Heart Is Green

Love completes you, but that doesn't mean you seek it out. When love comes your way, you integrate it peacefully into the rest of you life. Your flirting style: Laid back Your lucky first date: Walking around aimlessly and talking Your dream lover: Is both enthusiastic and calm What you bring to relationships: Balance

What Color Heart Do You Have?

Absence

All right, so I haven't been posting. Cause I suck.
And I've been so busy I can't see str8.
And FYI it's not going to get better for awhile.

In addition to working most of the hours y'all ask me to hang out, I'm sleeping the rest of those. And going to union meetings in the middle of my sleeping schedule. And getting voted as Executive Board Memeber only because there is no one else. Which is more meetings. And being the only union steward at work. And still a "Big Sister" and Bolder Options mentor. And trying to finish City Inspector's work orders before reinspection December 1st. And playing poker online. And visiting my gram in the hospital. And hosting Speed Dating. And trying to squeeze in a social life.

It's just not working, and for that I'm sorry. I'll do what I can. Don't take it personally cause I still love and miss you all.
