I think most of you know that Monte has been upside down and it has manifested into his being very very unhappy with me. I can't defend or not defend myself in this, this is his reality and there simply is not a thing I am able to do with that. So He and I are taking a time out (as Arnie puts it) for now. But I am not going to lie....I miss him.
I see its been a week since I last posted. Graeme and I went to Port Alberni. Things did not go so well with Monte Man and I really can't say much more than that. Graeme and I did spend one day tooting around, from Coombs (which was closed) to Parksville, to Qualicum. It was raining to beat the dickens and blowing hard. We stopped in at a pub on the ocean and had fish and chips. Pretty awesome I must say.
The next day (Friday) I dropped Graeme in Nanaimo to catch a bus to Victoria and I headed over to April's. I love staying at their place. Its like sinking into a big hug. In fact Myles met me at their place with a big comfy hug. I was feeling pretty battered and wrecked while I was there but they both were so patient and kind to me. On Monday morning I mosied over to another amazing daughter and her squeeze's place. And I love it there. Thats where Granddog is and Molly and crazy Fred the ancient noisy nosey cat! And Aryn and Bradley are such good hosts. Good food, good booze and awesome tv watching. Soooooo relaxing.
Graeme came to their place on Wed. morning and he and I headed home. We had an easy trip with no mishaps. Wrangler was bezerkly happy when we showed up. As lovely as he is I will be glad when he goes home. I do not want a dog. And this dog is so needy. He is always wanting attention, pats, food, walks, pees and suffers crazy separation anxiety. Time for him to go.
Today I made two giant shepherd's pies...one real and one fake. Hahaha! Just kidding! They were both delicious. So I took the real one with me to Kathy's and had the bestest evening there! We visited, planned a trip I will tell you about another time, had dinner and then...the best part....they showed me all their pictures from their Cuba trip and India trip. I am one of those people that could look at people's pictures endlessly. I love them! And their trip pictures were so interesting! It was just the kind of evening I was in need of.
So I just want to say to my family, my friends, my amazing dear support group...thank you. You have all made this most difficult time bearable. Every single one of you....I love you and am eternally grateful. TTYL
