"Cheater Cheat-Sheet"

What is the single world coming to, I ask? …And have we really dropped to this low? Today, I opened up MSN.ca to find a question posed to me in their feature article: ” Is a fling really worth it?” I’m thinking to myself — What kind of freekin’ feature article is this, and why [...]

Fear, head-on

Yesterday was a telling test for me — Would I be able to get back on a motorcycle as a passenger, and not go out of my mind with fear. I knew it was coming, when Jer asked me for confirmation that I’d like to ride on the back of his Ninja to go shopping [...]

Random acts of kindness

“When you get, give; when you learn, teach!” — Oprah I’m on a mission now. That short encounter the other night really woke me up. It reminded me a of a few things that stuck with me from a couple of years ago… Remember that movie: “Pay It Forward” and, not long after, Oprah had [...]

The homeless

Perhaps I’m overly emotional these days, but last night, something happened which really affected me — To the point of tears, even. Jeremy and I grabbed a late dinner at Nick’s on Commercial Drive, and when we were leaving, I noticed this older, very thin man rummaging through his knapsack in the parking lot behind [...]

Right back on that horse!

Errr, motorcycle! I’m booked for a refresher course for 3.5 hours, and then a weekend of playing in traffic with a senior instructor from the BC Safety Council. I’ve still got a couple of weeks to get my knee to a place where I can sit on a motorcycle for two days of instruction over [...]

Very little to report

There’s not much going on in my life right now because I’m still in recovery mode. When I am like this, I find myself hermit-like and withdrawn, although I’m starting to break out of that headspace now. I have had a friend here and there come over (like last night) and I still love those [...]

Peeping weirdo?

Lately, when I feel up to it, I sit in my solarium and work so that I get some (okay a few) rays of sunlight while I nurse my knee in positions that are odd to say the least. And, while doing so, I’ve noticed this very odd guy in this dilapidated house beside me [...]

Debridement?

What the hell is that, you ask? You *don’t* want to know. Really. I didn’t know what it was when I accepted the appointment for this procedure, yesterday. I was telling Jenn that I’d be off this afternoon to deal with this appointment, and she sends me a link to what it is . (Don’t [...]

Ya. It was as bad, or worse, than I expected it would be. The wound is over 8″ long and 3″ wide, and they removed about 75% of the necrosis. My knee is overwhelmingly painful now, and sadly I’m not done with the treatment. Thank GOD (too bad I’m atheist) for codeine. I have to [...]

Surprisingly alert

I’m shocked that I’m not a walking zombie this morning. I had some work to catch up on yesterday and last night after last week’s gong show, and didn’t end up getting to bed until close to 3am. But, did I get to sleep at that point? No… Of course not. I was so overtired, [...]

I had the most bizarre dream last night…

It was too weird. I dreamt about my birth parents. I don’t even KNOW my birth parents, but in my dream it all seemed so logical. I woke up this morning and dissected the story that I had just dreamed about and none of it made sense. Yet, I bought into it fully and without [...]

Birthday roundup

I had a very nice birthday dinner at Gotham last night — Very shwanky, Jer! It was a very nice evening after a so-so day. Not that it didn’t start off really nicely with a warm birthday wish and a kiss good-morning, but it went sideways for a while after that. I made the mistake [...]
