Oooo, I actually remembered my password... I've been in a writing mood a lot lately, but I'd forgotten my password, so I couldn't log in and post. >.< Ah well.
Same old bullshit going on... Spent the past year dropping everything in my life to help a friend, only to have that friend's family beat the ever-living hell out of me and Harley. Cops were involved, I ended up getting a bogus charge for moving the van we were in (I'm licenced to drive now, and a fully licenced for 4 years driver was in the front seat anyway) a couple inches to make the guys strangling Harley let go to steady themselves. All that's done and handled, nothing actually went on my permanent record. We can't go anywhere with charging the people who attacked us though, since the Peel region police, in their infinite wisdom, refused to acknowledge any attack, we even heard the guys saying "yes, I was strangling and punching him" and the girls saying "Yes, I was hitting her, yes, I dragged her from the van". Since the police report doesn't agree with our statements, we'd have to take on the Peel Region police to get anything done. So, we're now out $100's since I need glasses permanently now. Yay, I see double without them. Harley came out ok. A couple brusies that went away after a day or two. I had the worse end of the deal, my bruises took weeks to fade, and I had to have a ton of tests done on my head, since they were hitting me in the temple and in the back of the head.
Those same people were at the wedding we attended for the same friend. We left early, since they were drinking. I guess it's ok for a 60 year old woman who's been told by her doctor stop drinking or you'll die to drink in toast to her daughter's wedding, espicially when she knows that her whole family, including her, gets violent when they drink...
Then I was begged for days to drop my family and babysit 3 kids, in their home for 6 days while said friend went to Cuba for a vacation she couldn't afford, since her husband was court ordered to pay $14, 000 to his ex wife. In a home that's so coated with cat hair and dander that an hour of being there makes my throat close up and start to bleed. I suffer 3 days of this, and finally when I can't breathe, I call in the reserves I was told to call in if the cat fur was too much for me, and I get told when they get back, not "omg, are you ok?" but "you ruined my vacation, you ruined my happy, relaxing time after my vaction, pay me $x amount of money for gifts I spent on your kids". Wow. I really know how to pick friends...
So, that drama is mostly overwith. Needless to say, I'm not talking to this person anymore. It's been fairly recent though, so I am still angry about the whole thing. There's a ton that I didn't say. Details that either aren't important or would make this post be pages long. A lot happened between us. Karma will kick her ass in the end though.
ON TO BETTER THINGS!
I graduated, yay!, and I have some of my certs. I haven't got all of them yet, I'm waiting for Harley to do his, we're going to study together. We both end up learning more and with higher grades that way. Not that it matters for a cert exam, but it matters to us. He's doing his internship at the University of Waterloo right now. Hopefully, he'll end up with a job out of it too, he's currently got a shot, if the guy they interviewed today didn't get hired. A damn good shot too. I don't know any employer who doesn't like "You don't have to pay me for 5 weeks." as a hiring incentive. I hope he'll be able to get in. He's only been there a week or two and he already loves it. It's exactly what he wants to be doing. He's doing something different every day, he's working with hardware and software, and this is all stuff he's been doing for so long it's second nature to him.
I stalled looking for work because of babysitting Kelly's brats, and now that that's passed, March break is coming up next week, and someone needs to stay home with the girls. So, I stay home, clean and organize the house for J's visit, and the boys go to work. A girl could get used to this. ;)
Things have actually worked out really well. We were all a little nervous about how things would go, me and Harley living with John and the girls. It's been good. There are little bumps here and there, there always will be, but John and I get along better, and respect each other more now than I think we ever did. Who knows, maybe leaving him 7 years ago was the best thing I did for us. lol We're taking things slow, still travelling along the friend line, but where we were just friends at the beginning, now we're close friends. Maybe it'll go further. :) For once, I'm actually taking it slow and letting things happen on their own, rather than trying to force them to happen now. 31, and I finally slow down. lol
In 2 weeks, J gets here. 4 years of waiting about to come to an end. His flight lands on the 20th, Harley and I are taking the Go bus to pick him up, though we'll have to transfer at Square One. Thanks to having to go to court in Brampton, I've been to Square One more times since we were attacked in November (yay, happy fucking birthday) than I ever have in my life before that. lol I've already got the hotel booked and paid for, we're spending 3 days there, and then coming back here before he leaves. My only worry is the boys all getting along. 3 men, and the only things they have in common are being geeks, and me. It should be interesting. lol
Time to do more cleaning. We actually have a house under all this clutter! Who knew?? I'm just about done, but, thanks to a mild infection, I've had to slow down and get more help from the boys. I am determined that this house will be spotless when J gets here. Something left over from living at my moms. When you have out of town guests, your house is spotless, your sheets are changed, you have a full pantry and fridge, etc. For now, back to tackling the living room.
