Forgotten Love

                Hello! You thought I forgot about you didn’t you? Well, you were right. But in my defense…..I’m forgetful! So you should remember that next time before you jump at my throat like this! I said I was going on vacation and apparently that meant no blog entries for weeks. Vaca ended a while back and I’m trying to get back into daily life but it gets harder and harder after each bit of time off I get. I’m sure by the time I’m eligible to retire; I won’t even be able to show up to process whatever I need to process!

               

So where to start? What’s been going on the last few weeks? I got to see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra,  Measure for Measure and Avenue Q. Let me tell you, what a goooood time! Next up I have Hamlet and Twelfth Night. Once I’ve seen those, I’ll be done with Shakespeare until next year’s Bard on the Beach.  I’ve decided 100% to see as many plays, musicals and operas as I can while I can! I love the performing arts and I’ve wanted to do this for so long, so I’m taking advantage of being in a position that allows me to enjoy them! YAY

I’ve also purchased a bike so I can start riding to and from work after thinking about how so many people in worse shape than I am in have started something and kept it up! Why can’t I get myself to that point too? I can, I just need to start somewhere. We will see how it goes though, I’ve had it for a day already and haven’t even taken the tags off….eeeep. I CAN DO IT! YES I CAN! That will be my affirmation. I CAN DO IT! YES I CAN! Ok, enough of that for now. It also helps to have people around that have gotten their life together and found the right activity that works for them, they help inspire even if they don’t know it.

               

Last week was PRIDE week in Vancouver and it was a good time as always! I didn’t hit up too many things, but did make it to the parade because I didn’t want to miss that! I had a couple of friends stay with me (after they drove from Regina…can you blame them for wanting to come here to celebrate) they enjoyed themselves, or at least they said they did, and it was nice to know this city makes people feel welcome! As always there were interesting things to see, fun times to be had and lots of us gay people…you know “happy” people  ;) hehe I can seriously be so punny sometimes!

               

Ahh I think that’s plenty to start us talking again. I hope you’re having a wonderful season! I’ll blog soon and it will be great :D
