Well I have been house hunting while Matt is at home in Vancouver, it is crazy and hard to look at houses without him here, though I think I know what we both want and that we have a lot of common interests in what we are looking for. The house I looked at the other day at Pape and Mortimer is probably the best of what we have seen together and apart. This house had all the charm and design that I love and want and all the space that we both need and love, including a rental in the basement that needs a bit of work and more definition but is all and all perfect and very rent ready. Other than that I have looked at other houses both online and in person.
I have my second meeting tonight at WAYLA, the bar on Queen and Carlaw that I make take over as manager. I have to be there at 11pm tonight and check it out and meet the staff and the owner for a drink and get a feel for the place. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I think I really want this job and know that I can make it work for me and for Matthew and I together as a great start and profession and will give me the ability to contribute more to the house and also help out my folks a bit. Well we see if I even get it at all.
Well what else can I tell you about the last few days. I went out for dinner with my good friend Nancy the other night and that was very nice and we had a good time, great dinner and a lovely walk and talk afterwards. The perfect night. Thank you Nancy.
I have also been rather sick this week and have to go into the hospital on Monday morning, not sure what is going on, but soon I will know I hope. Have specialists appointments booked for the week after and am currently getting some sleep with my good friend Tylenol 3. I do what I can and this is just the way it is for now and has been for a while. The province of Ontario has this incredible waiting lists for certain tests and this is what I am waiting on and believe you me, it does not impress me at all. It actually just drives me nuts. I do thank god that I have a great doctor here and fabulous medical care here in Toronto.
Anyways have a great weekend and I will keep you all posted on the job front and everything else going on in our lives.

A Crazy Week
Well another crazy week in the works so far. I applies for a few new jobs on Sunday after Matthew was gone and I was finished crying for the day. I applied for 7 jobs and out of those I got 4 call backs for interviews. The first one was to work at a Salad Place and just do days Monday to Friday, thought the interview went well, but I guess I never got that one, as I haven't heard a word. The second call back and interview was to wait on tables in North York for 3 nights a week at a really cute and high end restaurant, but unfortunately I guess i never got this one either as he still hasn't called back and I am just going to assume no. The third was to manage a fast food Mexican Restaurant in the Eaton Center which would be ideal and she said she would let me know either Friday or Monday so we will see on this one, you never know , right? The fourth was a shock to say the least, this guy called last night and asked me to meet him at a bar on Church Street to talk about managing his bar on Queen Street, it was more of an informal meeting and we basically just sat there and visited with each other and had a couple cocktails, it was very nice and I got a great feeling from it. I am suppose to go and visit the bar on Saturday night and have a couple drinks and meet the staff and have a look at the bar and what it offers to me. I am hopeful.
Also this week I have been going back and forth with emails and looking at houses with Danny the realtor. I looked at a gorgeous house yesterday, though gorgeous and move in ready, it had one huge problem, the subway ran right under it and it was noisy! Today I am suppose to go with Danny again and look at 2 other properties on the east side. Stressful and hard to do this on my own. Then I have to communicate to Matthew about the house and what I thought. My god I have never house shopped before, this is harder than I thought.
On top of all this i am dealing with my daily headaches and been so sick all week that life is basically being lived on Tylenol 3 and regular tylenol in the day time. I stopped by the doctors office yesterday to get another prescription for Tylenol 3 to help me sleep at night. Today I woke up and the pain in my left kidney is really bad today again. God I hope they get this all figured out soon. Not sure what the hell is going on, but I am getting tired of living life in pain most days and just want my body to feel right.
Miss my lobster desperately and hate it when he is away, but this is what it is for now and hopefully he will be back soon and then here for good and permanently. There are a lot of things to do in the house in Vancouver and Matthew has to concentrate on that and just get them done so it can be listed and life together can start here in Toronto for us. I talk to him daily and every time I do it just makes me smile, I am not sure he knows how soothing his voice is to me and how much I look forward to our daily conversations. I just love it when I get to call him and talk to him, I also love when I get his little morning texts and he says his sweet things to me.
The dogs and cats are doing great and Sparky and Nadia are totally getting used to the apartment and little Sparky has taken over the entire balcony as his domain and he is even sleeping out there the last couple nights. He is a very happy boy. Nadia is sleeping with me and the girls at night in bed and become my little suck again.
Any how that is all for now, dinner tonight with Nancy and then going to help Wayne with some computer stuff later. Have a great day and I will be back soon.

Matt and his trip here
Matthew has come and gone now and it has been a couple weeks again since I have written anything. I know that I have been really bad with this and need to get it together soon. It is so hard to get into writing when at the moment I only see Matthew for a couple weeks a month and then go a month without seeing him, so when he is here we are fairly busy and doing lots of stuff.
So let me catch you up again, Matthew arrived in time for his birthday and he brought the cats out here so now they are with me and the 4 animals and I are in our tiny little apartment , though the cats have adjusted amazingly and are doing great with being indoor cats and the dogs are loving having them back with them.
Matts parents were also out here in Toronto until the 10th and we went out to his aunts and had a family dinner to celebrate his mom and dads birthdays. It was lovely and all the women in his family were amazing and very accepting, the 2 men who married into the family however were not so great and even told Matts aunt that because we are gay, they didn't want us anywhere near their kids and the 2 husbands were so immature that they even ate dinner in another room away from Matthew and I and the rest of the family, grow up boys, it's 2011 and we are not a disease we are gay! Anyhow his blood relatives are lovely and I am glad to have met them all.
Matthew and I also looked at a whole lot of houses while he was here and did a lot of research into the real estate market here and tried to figure out where we want to be and which areas will be the best suited for us to live in. Looking at all these properties was actually more exhausting than I ever thought it could be, but it was also a lot of fun and time well spent together. We met an amazing realtor named Danny and he was just fabulous with us, taking us everywhere and showing us the up and coming areas and different houses through out the city.
Yesterday evening Matthew left again and now I am going through my little sad stage for a while here on my own with the kids. Matthew is back in Vancouver listing the house and getting things all done there so when the house sells he will be back here permanently with all of us here in Toronto and now all we have to do is find a place here suitable for our little family to live in.
The poor guy has so much to do back in Vancouver such as paint the ceiling, pack everything, paint the back steps and also fix up some minor details throughout the house, like back splash and small finishing touches in the kitchen and stuff.
Meanwhile I will be here in Toronto and still looking at houses and stuff. Emailing Matt what I find on a daily basis and trying to make the right decisions on what we want and would be happy in and something for the both of us to start our married life in together.
I will try to be more consistent in my writing here again and keep you all up to date. Talk soon and have a great Sunday.

My Bad
Well I must apologize for not writing lately but I have been a little busy and very self absorbed with some personal issues of my own. Nothing bad at least not for now.
Matthew is here in Toronto right at the moment and has been for just a week now and will be returning to Vancouver some time here in September. We have been totally busy out looking at different areas of the city and at real estate that is out there some where that we may be interested in and an area that we can both agree on that is close to downtown and transit.
The other thing I have been a bit absorbed with is my health and I am not going to go into great detail about that for now, just going to say I have not been to well as of late and am going to be going for a lot of tests and some other stuff as soon as all the appointments and specialists are booked. I am a lot nervous and living on various different types of tylenol right at the moment to get through some of my days. I will let those who are close to me know what has been going on when I know more.
All I can say is right now this sucks and I am a lot worried but am getting through day to day and living and looking at what my options are according to my doctor. In the mean time I am working here and there and getting paid a decent wage and get to basically pick my own hours which is very nice. i get emailed events and get to decide which ones I want to do and if they are worth my while. I do not want to work to much right at the moment any how and am really not sure I could. Being out for more than a couple of hours right now is not even doable some days.
Matthew and I are having a great time and as always we get a lot accomplished when we are in the same city and together and it is so nice. I was so glad when he arrived and he got here on the day I had a lot of my doctors appointments and stuff and he helped me to relax a bit afterwards and not to worry so much. I am glad otherwise I would have been a total wreck.
Anyhow I will talk to you all soon and hope you are having a great day. Will keep you all informed of our house hunting trips and what we find. And will also keep you all informed of my upcoming appointments and health issues.
