January 2, 2011 and I am going to finish my year in Review finally. September was a quiet month for us and as you already know I lost my lovely job on the 15th, a real shock to both Matthew and I. The reason I lost this job is because I worked for a real Ass and he stuck me in a restaurant to manage a bunch of children, who thought that they could run their own place. Oh well I am better off away from there. We also bought a new couch and new bed in September.
October brought another trip to Alberta to spend a week with my Mom during her radiation treatment, Matthew and I drove out to the farm and then on to Edmonton with Mom, I think Matt was more shocked than I to see the way that cancer had affected Mom. The week was long in Edmonton and very hard on me, to watch her go through this. Matt got to meet some of my old friends, Nev, Ian and Ann. We also had a house guest for the month of October, Jurgen, my now ex best friend. This turned out to be a real mistake and hell for a the entire month. He ended up being very immature and Matt thought he had a crush on me. Jurgen ended up moving out the first part of November and then went on to move to Alberta without a word. A friend for over 12 years and can't even pick up the phone and let us know he was leaving.
Mom Finished all her treatments the end of October and the doctors said that she will suffer side effects fro 3 to 6 months from the chemo and radiation and they will do another CT Scan in March of 2011 to see if her cancer is in remition.
November brought us a much nice and friendlier house guest for a week. Matthew's friends Donna and Andrea came up from Chicago and I got to meet them. This was a complete pleasure. We also decided in November to start our own business and do Home Renovations, Remodeling and Painting and Staging. We started by redoing Matts parents house. When we started we had to strip all the wallpaper, paint, remove carpets and redo the upper bath. This took me 6 weeks and Matt was there for 4 weeks. Hopefully our work there will help our business to take off. Hopefully we will be able to make our business successful and stay here in Vancouver.
December brought rest and relaxation and Matts parents return from Belize where they were during the entire month of November and while we were redoing the house. I got to go to the hospital on the 15ht and was in excruciating pain and found out I had kidney stones, ouch.Matt and his dad flew off to New York because his Uncle was dying. They left on December 18th and unfortunately Uncle Elrich passed away on the 21st. Thankfully though Matt and His father returned in time for Christmas. Matts Mom and I became very close while they were away in New York.
Christmas was great this year and I got the most amazing gifts from Matthew and we also bought a new Tv and Blueray player in December. Anyway the great gifts I got were 3 amazing T-shirts from FCUK in New York and a T-shirt from Ground Zero in New York and the best gift I have ever received from any one a Dolce and Gabana Belt.
We had our traditional Christmas dinner with Matt's parents.
Well that is our year, I just want to take a moment to remember those who we lost last year. Matt's Uncle Bernie and Uncle Elrich, my friends Dorin Hughs, Sean Stone, Patrick Chevelier, Jim Wilcox, Irene Gourlay, Ann Hughs, Ed Bergrenn, My Moms Uncle and Aunt from Calgary and My Fathers Aunt Velma. Quite a year for death.
