3 More Sleeps

Only 3 more sleeps till Matthew is here in Toronto and he is bringing the cats. I have totally readied the balcony and cat proofed it I hope! I have worked my butt off for 2 days and done the whole balcony with pigeon netting and a new fiber glass chicken wire to keep the cats in and the birds out. I am looking so forward to Matthew and the cats arriving tuesday night and am so excited and nervous to have the cats here full time.
This week also brought Rogues birthday, I can't believe my little girl is 7 years old. It is hard to believe I have had her for that long and she still acts like a little puppy. Love it. She is my little girl and so cute and great to have in my life. Storm will be 6 in October, time just seems to fly and I am not sure what I would do without them around and with me all the time. It should be a lot of fun, all the kids back together again, though it is going to be so hard on the cats, not being able to go in and out as they please. Oh well such is life and they will get used to it I hope.
Wednesday will be Matthew's birthday and I plan to celebrate that and have a great time and a small party for him the weekend following. Should be fun, Labor day weekend party. We can do a holy shit your married party again for our friends here and also a birthday party for him as well. Looking so forward to it.
Oh well I am just excited to have my lobster with me here in Toronto again for a while and then he is back to Vancouver to finish getting the house ready for sale and I am here to continue working , looking after the kids and start looking for our new home here. It should be fun, but there is a lot to do and it just seems overwhelming some days. Thats okay, once it is all done it will be great and we can start our new lives together here in Toronto and in our new house with the kids. Well that is it for now. Will try to keep you all up to date on our little adventures. As for this week I was a little under the weather and never wrote a thing, was hardly out of bed unless I was making something to eat or taking the girls for a walk.

Getting Ready for Sparky and Nadia

Well today is all about the animals and what I am going to have to do to prepare for the cats arrival. Sparky and Nadia will be here on the 30th and I am so happy to have them coming to Toronto, I only wish I was in a better situation for them and had a small yard where they could play, but sadly I do not. Sparky and Nadia are so used to coming and going in and out as they damn well please, it will be hard for them to get used to living in an apartment, but at least they will have the dogs again and they will all be together. Rogue and Storm have missed the cats so much and they are so cute with them, I remember when we first brought them home and They looked after the kittens just like they were their own babies. It was so cute, All four of them in the car on the way back to Vancouver from the farm in Alberta.
So this week I have to go and get some chicken wire and seal in the balcony completely so that Sparky and Nadia can go out there when ever they please. They are so used to the fresh air , so I am going to try and make it as much like home for them that I can. I also have to go and get them some food at Walmart and a litter box and cat litter for them and figure out where to put a cat litter box in our small little space here in Toronto. Also have to find a scratching post of some sort so that the cats do not start to scratch the furniture.
We have to get the cats here and list the house in Vancouver without any pets in it. God I hope it sells fast so that Matthew can move here as soon as possible, looking like a winter move though. Once he is here we can go and look at houses and figure out where to live in the city and find a great neighborhood for all the animals and for us. My preference is somewhere close to down town here in Toronto so I can still walk to everywhere that I am used to going and still see friends and go out. Anyhow the cats will be here in 8 days with my hubby. Looking forward to seeing all 3 of them.

What a week

Well another week has come and gone and so much has been completed. Flights are booked, real estate agents have been in and evaluated everything, Mom has had her MRI, I have quit smoking and started my new crafts, job has been secured for September. Now to elaborate on all of this, yikes!!
Matthew and the cats are flying out here on the 30th, yes I said the cats , little Sparky and Nadia will soon be Toronto residents and reunited with the dogs as of the 30th of August, so in this tiny apartment, we will all be very soon together again. So there is a lot to do before their arrival, I have to make sure the balcony is totally cat proof and go and get some chicken wire this week just to ensure they don't get onto the neighbors balcony and fall off. I love the cats and would just die if anything ever happened to them. The dogs will be so happy when the cats get here and when they get to see Matthew again. I will be so happy to see Matthew again and can't even wait. God I am so excited and it is still 9 days away. I have arranged a ride from the airport and everything for him thus far.
Real Estate agents have come and gone through the house in Vancouver and given their quotes on what they think the house is worth and now it is time to get shit done and go through stuff and actually choose a selling agent and get the move on here to Toronto. I am excited , sad and totally nervous all at the same time and looking forward to house shopping here in the very near future and setting up out new home for Matthew, myself and the kids(cats and dogs). The house is Vancouver will be missed and I will miss going back to see the neighbors or at least some of them. I will also miss the house and will now have no excuse to go back to the neighborhood. It was the house where Matthew and I lived and started our life together. It was a beautiful and lovely time for the most part. We had a lot of great times and I will have to go back to the house for one last good bye before it is sold.
Mom went in this week for all of her blood work and her MRI to make sure there are no complications and that the cancer has not come back, this has been a very stressful time and I never do well when Mom is going through anything at all and hate it when she is going through this and I am not there. Anyone who knows me, knows how important Mom is to me and how much I love her and what she went through last year. I just pray that all will be fine and nothing is wrong. I just hate all these check ups she has to go through and the stress it causes her.
I also managed to quit smoking this week and am doing okay, when I was in Vancouver I bought what they call an EV Cigarette and this is an electronic smoke which is like a real ciggy and creates an actual exhale and which is a water vapor.I have also started my new hobby, which is making toys out of recycled materials, which if I do say so myself i am getting rather good at and as soon as I have all my prototypes ready, I am going to take them to a store see if they will carry them for me, and also like to start my own on line business. Will let you all know when I get it done. Anyhow that was my week thus far. You all have a great day.

Work and Life

Well I am done working for the Greeks for now, and man am I thankful for that. They all have this hellish temper and think they are above people which always drove me nuts. I am now going back to work for a catering company and that suits me just fine as this will allow me to choose my own events which I want to do and when I am available and if I go to work some where else full time it will be perfect. So life is good and I am a happy boy again. I went in today for a meeting a negotiated my wage for both serving and supervising and got what I wanted and what I think is very fair and am just happy that I have a job and it is one that will work around my schedule. With the selling of the house and everything and flying back and forth for both Matt and I, it is perfect.
People always want what they don't have or can not have, I have learned in life to love what I have and live with it. I have everything I want now, a gorgeous and loving wonderful husband, family and friends who will always be by my side, two wonderful dogs, two amazing cats, a decent job, a roof over my head, enough money to pay my bills(barely). This is all I need. i used to dream of everything perfect and thought that you had to have a white picket fence, a big house, the perfect job and a husband who lived in the same city. I know now this is not the case, all you need is love and to work together with the one you love and understand each other and Matthew and I do, so we are happy and I am happy.
Although I miss him lots, I survive everyday here with the knowledge that not too far in the future we will be living in the same city again.Right now all though we are not physically together all the time we are mentally together and carry each other in our hearts and this is a fabulous feeling. I get happier everyday just knowing that I have a man who loves me and someone who I love very much and couldn't imagine living without.
The last 2 days were extremely hard as I was sick and alone and just wanted Matt here beside me to comfort me.I hate being sick and be quite the baby when I am. I also hate not being able to just snuggle with Matthew when I am sick. But that is the way it is for now. Any how am feeling a bit better today and am just happy.

Leather Weekend and Fetish Ball in Toronto

Well I have been back in Toronto now for 4 days after my visit to Vancouver and let me tell you it just gets harder to be away from Matthew. I had my day of tears and my very sleepless night the day after I got home here. It is never easy to live in a different city then your husband, but I am getting used to it, no I am not, and who am i trying to kid. I have accepted who i am and I live with that every day and I love myself, but yes I am selfish and I want my husband here with me.
So this weekend I am going to try and keep my mind busy by going to look at men on Church street in their hot leather outfits. Every year in Toronto about 6 weeks after Pride is done they have a leather and fetish fair here and they close off the streets and have all these events and people selling stuff and the bars are just crazy busy.
Fun Fun Fun, so I think I will go and look around today and go for a walk and see who is out and take some pictures of hot men and their leather outfits.
Also today at 4pm Wayne is singing with the choir behind Zippers today, so Nancy and I are going to walk down there and check it out. Also suppose to go and meet with the other Wayne today and his partner Kevin. Wayne wants to talk to me about stuff so I am looking forward to this and what he may have to say. I can only guess what it is about!
Any ways i will keep you posted on the leather fair and maybe if I can figure it out post some pictures on here and let you all see them. Have a great day and go and check out the fetish fair here in Toronto if you are around.

Been A While Part 3, More Good Times

Well the rest of my trip to Vancouver was great as well. Matthew and I went out with one of the irsh boys from downstairs, Morris, on Friday the 5th and we had a lot of fun, I even played pool again and almost one the one game, good times. Tim, who is now living with Matt as a roommate came and met up with us later. Great guys but they are in their 20's and 30's and boy can they drink, they are also straight and we took them to a gay bar, so we left soon after Morris was complete to be drunk and tired of this ugly man from Texas hitting on him, it was rather funny to me.
On the Saturday we had a fun and casual drop in party to celebrate our wedding and marriage with friends from Vancouver, lots of people showed up and it lasted from 2pm til after 10pm, a great time and good visits with everyone. Raj came and he bought us a gift card, and gave us a beautiful card, Russ and Elaine also showed up quickly and brought us a lovely card and a beautiful bottle of champagne. The neighbors Anabel and Christian and baby Leila were also by and bought us a beautiful bottle of champagne as well which we enjoyed on the Monday night with Matts parents before a lovely dinner out with them. Also received a fabulous box of chocolates from the young gay down the street Robert, who is social with me but not really a friend of mine. Also thank you to my cousin Harold, Marc and his partner, Chris and Nadja and the family clan for dropping by and making our day special. it was a lot of fun. Thanks to all who showed up and made that day special, we will do this again in Alberta and in Toronto so all of our friends and family may share in the celebration of our wedding.
Sunday afternoon we were going to have a picnic on the lawn and drink champagne when out of the blue a friend of ours Tim called and we went to Pumpjack for a few beer instead, we were having a lot of fun, parted ways with Tim after a great visit and some good times. Then Matt and I went to another club which was really dark and Matt ended up falling and we spent the better part of the later evening in the emergency room getting his sprained and very swollen finger attended to.
Monday night we had our second dinner with Matts parent whom I always enjoy seeing and love dearly. We also spent a couple days over at their house to complete jobs that needed to be done.Yes there is always something to do over there, I think it is just an excuse to see their little boy and to keep busy for them.
Tuesday was a quiet day and Wednesday i had to come back to Toronto and leave my lobster. Now I am back in Toronto , it is Saturday and you are all caught up with your gay neighbor. have a wonderful weekend and I will be back soon.

Been a While Part 2, the phsycos in Vancouver

Well let me finish catching you up. Some of the weirdos I met and had already known in Vancouver came out of the woodwork. Let me tell you about a few of them. There is Joe and his partner Shawn, well Joe and I were best friends for many years and even lived together years ago as roommates and everything, we know longer speak because he is such a phsycotic little idiot.  We ran into him a week after Pride at the bar and he came up to me and said so are you gonna talk to me now, I simply turned around and said I honestly have nothing to say to you and he looked at me all grumpy and fat as he always looks and bluntly told me to just go f**k myself then. Thank god, now maybe we will be done.
Phsyco #2 from my trip was Rory, well Rory and I have had one hell of a past over the last year as well and I figured it was just time to bury the hatchet, so I asked him to meet with me and have a chat about a few things, like hitting on my husband and his little powder habit, both things I don't care much for. He said yes he would love to chat, never showed up and avoided me for a full 10 days, a hard thing for anyone to do. Congrats to you for that I am not an easily avoidable person in any way. Good for you and now we are done.
Phsyco # 3 was Jack, whom I use to date and thought I was still afriend with , but he is obviously off his meds this month, because he just totally treated Matt and I like shit, and I say to that oh well. So ran into him again a week later and he politely said hi, I ignored him, then he walked up to me later as I am leaving the washroom and said oh , what are you and Matt doing later, I politely said not you and nothing with you and calmly walked away.
Phsyco # 4, now this one you will all love, his name is Brent and he just seemed to be at Pumpjacks every time we were, yay, lucky us. and ugly old creep who for some reason thought that I was going to be his new best friend. i almost had him in tears the one day, I take joy in that if you annoy the hell out of me and I do it nicely so please beware. Any how Brent is an ex trick of Matts and is supposedly married , but for some god forsaken reason happens to want my husband and my approval of it and on top of that to be my friend, nuh uh! The guy even went so far as to buying me shooters the one day and hell yeah I took them , free alcohol. I am not a drunk , but hey it was free. Anyways Brent was just annoying.

Been A while

Well it has been a while since i have written anything and I do apologize for that, so let me catch you up. I was away fro 10 days and went to Vancouver to see my lobster and spend some time with him. Had the greatest time doing so much. So here goes I flew out on the Saturday morning July 30th  at a very early hour and had to catch the bus from downtown to the airport which is quite the trip here in Toronto. Any how walked over to the bus stop at 4am that morning, standing there and waiting for the bus, the first 2 did not go all the way to the ariport, finally the third one did. Any how while waiting I met this young man, well he was thirty and extremely hot , but somewhat annoying at the same time. He was standing there at the bus stop with me and hitting on me and let me tell you , if anyone hits on you after 40 at 4am when you are dead tired, it is flattering at the least. I loved every minute of it, after all I am married not dead or blind and can still look all I want. Sat on the bus with him and talked and he continued to flirt all the way to his stop. Such a sweet young man and the body, my god!
So after that little happening I get to the air port to go to Vancouver and of course my flight is late again. I never get one that is on time. But eventually I landed in Vancouver after a long flight and changing seats and all on the plane, I sat there next to this lovely young lady, well in her late forties and we talked about the hospitality industry, she works for fairmont hotel chain, and opens hotels all over the world for them. Showed her Matt and my wedding album. She loved it or at least said she did.
Got off the plane around 9:30am Vancouver time and got see my husband, the highlight of the trip, just seeing his smile and to give him the hugest kiss when he pulled up, god I love my husband. So it was also Pride weekend in Vancouver that week and we went that Saturday afternoon to a friends party which was fun and I got to see Tim , Lorne and Rob again and catch up with them. All of Pride weekend was spent drinking, and going out for events and seeing people at the bar whom I haven't seen since I left and also meeting new friends, a lot of fun and a lot of Vodka, good times!
The Sunday of the Pride parade we went out to Pumpjacks which is still my favorite bar in Vancouver, and we just had fun, drinking and socializing with people and just being together. A total amazing day. Did the same on the Monday.
The rest of the week was spent relaxing and just spending time together and doing stuff around the house and a bit of gardening and a lot of weeding, but god the garden looks good now. On the thursday we drove up to Whistler for the day and I had a blast with Matt, as I had never been there. I know, I know all those years in Vancouver and never going up there, weird huh? We got some nice pictures. Had a great lunch at a little restaurant and walked a hell of a lot, but so much to see and do. Go and visit.
Well that is an update up to the first Thursday , going for a walk now and will be back with another post here with the rest of everything about my trip to Vancouver. A lot more to come and a bit of juice for my steady readers.
