Whew!
It's been a week. :-)
Thursday I made a HUGE pot of meat sauce.
Friday, I had 17 people show up between 3pm and midnight to crash in two empty apts. in my building. Got to sleep around 5 and alarm went off at 8am.
Saturday. ALL of them were in my apt. at varying times and in varying rooms. Cooked up 3lbs. of bacon and 3 dozen eggs. Got everybody, including myself, out the door for Crown.
Spent an awesome day with people I love and more that I *vaguely* tolerate. Very pleased with our King and Queen. They are unpretentious, bright and full of fun. :-) I totally approve.
Didn't stay for feast. I barely made it through court, to be honest. Very pleased at the awards given out.
Got to say goodbye to Jocelyn and Frenya in the parking lot... started to cry because I don't know when I'll see them and others from away again. I HOPE I'll get to Birka, but that depends on my protege Clint and his wife. I realized that I will miss the folks from outside of IDD much more than the majority of the people in IDD. Over the past 7 years that I've been lying here, there are approximately 10 people out of the entire Barony who have gone out of their way to give me help and companionship. And one of them was only just added. I will miss them but I also know I will see them because most of them will figure out a way to come and visit. I won't miss the rest.
I find it amazing that these people who have pretty much ignored my existence over these past years are the ones who proclaim the loudest and publicly how much I will be missed. And I truly don't understand why. If I will be missed so much, where have they been these past 7 years? It's fine with me. I've been over the hurt for a long time now. I just don't comprehend the arrogance, if that's the word. Do they really think me that stupid that I will suddenly feel sad about not seeing them again? I haven't seen them other than at the very occasional event. Seriously? I won't miss you.
Sunday was about 3 hours sleep and getting folks out the door. My schedule was so messed up that when Fred called me at 8:30 to say he was on the way down, I got up, took my *1:00pm* meds, got dressed and went to deal with folks. Adi stayed back and we went up to make sure the apts. were back to the original. Then we did some stuff..don't remember what... and she left. My 1pm alarm went off and I took my meds. These, unfortunately, happened to be my *1:00am meds. I couldn't figure out why I was so tired and at about 4pm I fell asleep in front of the laptop. Woke at 8:30 and had dinner and laid down on the couch. Returned to the bedroom at 11pm and went to set up my meds for Monday. And realized I had one empty container too many. THAT's why I fell asleep at 4pm. Sigh.
The difference between dependence and addiction..... I went to sleep (or tried to) about 4am. didn't manage to really sleep much because, of course, I didn't take my beds at bedtime due to taking them at 1pm. Were I an addict, I'd have taken another dose. *grin*
Monday, yesterday, Doron came by at about 3pm. We went through all my cookbooks and while I still have almost two boxes full, I left quite a number. I sent him off with three containers of meat sauce and more books to check on line. Unfortunately, he is not buying my couch as he can't get it up his stairs. :-( So, for the interim, it will go to Ottawa. I now have 17 boxes packed...or is that 16... 16. Just checked. :-)
Today I dealt with the Pharmacy for my three months of meds and set up the insurance for the condo to begin on the 7th of June. I finished off the meat sauce with a toasted burger bun for first meal. I have taken my meds properly so far. :-)
Now I'm going to set up to forward my mail for the next 6 months. :-)
I am in serious need of packing help. Anyone in my area who can spare me a couple of hours would be very appreciated.
