Well my July has been a totally shitty month thus far and I am still not 100%. I started with a cold the first of July and then turned to pneumonia and now a lung infection. I spent our second wedding anniversary in the hospital after getting so sick, then several trips to the doctor the following week and another day and night spent in the ER on the Friday. Now the last week has been doctors and specialists and tests and more tests, my damn arms feel like they have permanent holes in them from all the blood work they have done.
This also means I have not had the energy or the time to do fuck all around the house or look for work, which really sucks, because we both need to get back to work and get into a routine of some sort. I think life has been to disorganized for a while now.
But for now I need to concentrate on getting better, I have more tests coming up and also more appointments with the doctors and specialists which is taking a lot out of me and I am so tired of travelling downtown and dealing with hospitals and shit nurses with attitudes.
In the end it has all been a basic waste of time in many ways and I am no further ahead than I was at the beginning of the month, so much for modern medicine. Oh well I still have the best family doctor that anyone could ask for and he is so attentive and fabulous. I am very lucky when it comes to that and I also have a great husband and fabulous friends who have all been there and helped in whatever ways they could.
I hate being sick and am so tired some days I d not even get off the couch. I am not like that at all and usually a very active person and one who loves to keep busy and be doing something all the time, whether it is the house, gardening, landscaping or just walking the girls or a bike ride with Matt.
So an update on all this, I was in the hospital on July 6th , our second wedding anniversary and then back in hospital July 12th, sucked, let me tell you, and in between that I was at the doctors many times and since then to visit two specialists. Some days I just can't breath and am so short of breath and have bad chest pains. The good news is I do not have Pneumonia or Bronchitis, so that is the good news.
I have more tests to go through and more doctors and specialists to go and visit but I am sure whatever they find out I will handle and get through as I do everything else in my life. I do love a challenge and will figure it out as it comes my way.
Thank you for reading, be back to write more soon. Have a great week.

Pride in Toronto, and our neighborhood
Well last weekend was PRIDE and we had a blast. Great long weekend of drinks, friends and entertainment. It was amazing. On Friday night we met up with Wayne and went to see Carol Pope, who is just fantastic and a great singer to me a huge gay icon, Love her! We then went to our favorite bar, Boutique and had a couple drinks and great fun with Wayne as it was his birthday weekend as well, He turned 50 on Wednesday, Happy Birthday!
Saturday afternoon was down to the street fair and walk around after the dyke march and check out all the tents, met up with Wayne and later on with Nancy, had a great time and went for a nice dinner at Golden Diner, love that their meals are reasonably priced and you get a great proportion. Had fun and then the four of us walked the streets for a bit more and went to Boutique again for a couple drinks and visit with our favorite bartender Issac and our favorite waiter Will. It was a great time until Ann showed up, Matt eventually got frustrated and just wanted to leave.
I am not sure what Ann has a problem with and get so tired of trying to guess and entertain her, it is like pulling teeth when you try to have a conversation with her and she just brings everyone down with her attitude, I hate it.
She sits there and you try to talk to her and she has no response and then turns around to Nancy and bitches that we don't talk to her and communicate, whatever!
Sunday we went downtown after the parade, no we did not attend the parade because it is just the same year after year and it gets pretty boring, next year we will go because Toronto is holding world Pride, yay, can't fucking wait for that, will be so many hot men form all over the world, yes I am married but am not dead, of course I look, who doesn't?
We had all the intentions of going to see En Vogue on Sunday night but got there a little late and the line up was just crazy, over a block long, no way, I hate lineups.
Matt and I went to the Eagle and had a drink there to check out the renovations, looks great but doesn't really feel like the Eagle anymore, maybe a little to modern for a space which is suppose to be a leather bar, we did not need another dance bar in Toronto, whatever! We then toddled over to Boutique and met the nicest couple Matthew and Melissa , fabulous people, sat and visited with them for several hours, was immensely enjoyable night.
We spent the holiday Monday recovering and me getting a flu or cold of some sort, I have been sick as a dog and am not getting any better at the moment. I have not been sleeping as it hurts so much when I cough that it wakes me up. It also wakes Matt up sometimes and then I feel even worse. Sneezing, coughing and chest pain from hell! I hate being sick and not able to do anything. I am not good at sitting around and relaxing! And Matt is constantly yelling at me and nagging me to rest and get better, he should know me by now.
Got some good news on Sunday from our neighbors that we do not really get along with too well, they are selling, yay! Apparently they have purchased a house in Peterborough and take possession on August 15th, their house went on the market yesterday. Who know who will move in, but I must say I do believe at this point anyone will be better then the unsociables! Hope they also get the price they want so it will tell us more of what our house is worth and you never know, if we got the right price , could sell, but we love our neighborhood and our neighbors for the most part.
Well that is all I have to say for now, thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
