Life is getting so much busier every day and every day is also getting harder sometimes to just get out of bed. I love my job and I love my life and I just get so tired now with the health issues I have had as of late. 2 more appointments this week and then nothing till the 10th of November, so I will actually have a week off from dealing with this shit, it is just hard what is not going on with your own body and still having to deal with it all and being here by myself is not so helpful either at times.
At least ona daily basis I get to talk with Matthew on the phone and hear his voice, I am not sure he realizes how helpful this is somedays and I just thank god that I have that somedays to hold on to. I also call mom a lot and last week talked to my great friend Sandi. Wayne and Nancy have also been tremendous through all of this and totally helpful in every way.
Also being at work is very helpful to me as well and a great thing to keep my mind off of other things. I truly love the new job and am doing great there and plan to stay there for a long long time. I have a very nice boss, and a great team of bartenders who are so sweet and helpful.
Also having all four of the kids here with me is great and I love it, they come and cuddle with me every night and I just melt. It is so cute, the girls all come and sleep with me right away and Mr Sparky crawls onto the bed after he thinks I am asleep for the night and then he cuddles with me and the girls. Has to be a strong little boy until it suits him.
Well that is all I have for now. Talk with you all soon.

Whats New
Well it has been quite the couple weeks. Been managing WAYLA Bar now for just over 2 weeks and loving it thus far. I think I finally have the greatest boss alive which is thrilling to me, worked hard in this business for over 20 years and taken a lot of bull from both owners and staff and customers a like, as do we all in the service industry. Somedays the industry sucks, but all and all I do it because I love it and it is just fun to meet different people and be in public socializing every day.
Other than work I have been out looking at houses and put a bid in on one last week, unfortunately it went for way above asking price which was totally unusual for the type of house it was and the work it needed, oh well, it was just not meant to be.
Matthew has listed the house in Vancouver and started packing stuff up and getting ready for the big move here to Toronto, I am going to try and go out if I can in the next month for my 2 days off, just because I want to see him and say good bye to Anabel and Chris and baby Leila next door, I keep in touch with them but really want to see them once more before everything is finalized out there. I truly hope the house sells quickly and we can be done with it and the way the tenants have been I will be glad when they are just gone and Matthew is not stressed or bothered by them again, they were so good at first and have now turned to shit and nothing but a headache. Oh well, they are only screwing themselves in the end.
As for my health as of lately that is another story and when I am home I spend most of the time sleeping or lying down which is not too much fun. I have been going back and forth to specialists, hospital for different tests and bloodwork on a weekly basis. My arm has been bruised now for 3 straight weeks and I am always wondering if people see that , what the hell will they think, and then I think who cares, ask me if you want to know. Anyhow that is all you get to know about me health wise for now, No worries I am strong and will beat whatever the hell they finally find. For now I will reast and go through whatever I have to.
Sorry that I have been only writing weekly lately but that is all I can muster up at the moment, I will be back in full force soon I hope. Have a great week and hope you all had a lovely thanksgiving. I did, I went for dinner to Swiss Chalet with my friends Wayne and Nancy, it was lovely and a great time. Thanks to both of them for the company and a fun night out.

working, househunting and more
Well it has been quite the week again and I am back at work now, I accepted a job managing a bar here in Toronto, been quite a bit of fun so far and seems to be going well, but I will take it one day at a time, cause you just never know what is going to happen in todays world. I have a great staff and they seem to be quite nice and excited for me to be there. My boss and owner also seems to be a really nice man, or at least I hope so, I never hold my breath in these matters anymore after the last couple of years.
The bar has not really ever been managed so it is quite the thing to walk into, I am working hard but enjoying it thus far as it keeps me busy and this is good when your husband is on the other side of the country. I miss Matthew so much and wish he was here to celebrate the new job with me and just because I miss him so much and want to have him with me, self fish I know, wanting to live with your husband!
Matt is still in Vancouver and working on getting the house ready for sale and doing all the stuff there, I am so proud of him and all his hard work, he has repainted both the front and back stairs, the ceiling inside the house and touched up the front door, My hard workig husband, wish I could be there to help him.
I am still not in the best of health and go in to the hospital on Thursday morning and then again next Tuesday afternoon for a couple more tests, I hope we get to the bottom of this soon. I hate not having the energy I used to have and I also hate hours on end of pain, not too much fun.
The dogs and cats have been great with me going back to work and are getting used to it again, I feel so bad for the dogs, they got used to me being at home and going out every 5 or 6 hours , now when I go to work they have to be alone for 10 hours when I add in travel time. But they have been really good and every night when I get home all 4 of them are at the door waiting for me. So Cute!!
Still been house hunting as well and looking at so many of them , I am getting confused and they are all starting to look the same, so I have started videotaping and taking pictures of everyone I go see now. This is helping and it makes it easier for me to show Matt as well.
Sorry I have not been writing regularly, but I am going to go back to writing more often as I am finding this very theraputic and helpful with everything, just lets me get it all out. Have a great day and see you soon.
