Sunday, again

Well the week has been another extremely busy one and we have managed to muster through it again. We did get a lot accomplished in the house and still go out and have fun on Friday for dinner with Marc and then a drink or two at Boutique. All new staff there, well 2 out of 4 people are new and our former favorite bartender Darren is now gone from there. We also ran into Alisa and Angela on the street on Friday, was nice to see them both and talk a bit outside the store. We had dinner at the Firken which was great as per usual. Ran into John , Lisa and Vito at Boutique, been a while since we saw them there. Was a nice night out and so great just to get away from the house for a bit and relax. Saturday we had a bar b q and Wayne brought Jade over to see the girls and then Marc came by with his friend and we had a few drinks and a nice dinner out back on the deck, then later on after Marc and his friend and Wayne all went their separate ways downtown to their respective places for the evening, Jeff and Mara came over and visited for a bit and we had a few more drinks. Yes a few more drinks led to 1:30am, good times.
We had a great day which started with a garage sale. We made a bit of money and now can have a bit of fun to kick off Pride week here in Toronto. Yay, I really want to go and see the parade this year as i realize I truly have never seen the actual parade in Toronto, I was in it a couple times and then every other year I worked at one of the restaurants in the village so was at work and dealing with all the hungry people who were out enjoying Pride, this year it is our turn. It will be a lot of fun for the both of us! Time to hang that pride flag in the front window and show the neighborhood where the gaybors live, though I am sure they have all figured it out any how.
This week was a very theraputic week in many ways, I have again realized who is a part of my family and who is not and it seems to be getting smaller and smaller by the hour. I am okay with that, ah hell who am I kidding, I miss my family or what use to be family, it is strange how when we grow older and are suppose to grow up, people just seem to get bitchier and more bitter. I am thankful to have Cheryl and Patti and Alicia and Amanda to talk to. As for the rest of them it is weird how I went in a month to having a huge family to now having one sibling, a sister in law, and a handful of nieces and nephews, and a few great friends.
Now even some of my friends who I thought were very good friends can't even bare to call me back and tell me no to questions, weird! Life after 40 is great but can be very lonely if you don't have a great husband like I do. I am very lucky in this way and thankful that I now have Matthew and the kids everyday.
That is all I wish to discuss about family as it hurts way to much to even talk about, parents who say they are done with you, an older brother who has called once in the last 10 years and had to be drunk to do so, a sister who is so drugged out , all she has to say is threats and nasty comments and certain nephews who are afraid to hug me, now that is a family. Let me say this, those who do love you accept you for who you are and you just have to accept that and move on and be thankful for them and love them back, easier said than done to let the family go who does not. I struggle every day to do this, they were able to just be done with me and I can't seem to imagine life without most of them.
Well we are heading out for breakfast now and I will be back later. have a great day and kick off Pride in any way you want , just have fun damn it!
