Changes looming...

Sorry about the long delay yet again between posts. I've had a lot on since the last time, but now things have settled down.

Let's see, I had a journey back to Scotland, a pilgrimage to Paris, and a trip ro Rosslyn Chapel (yes, the one in The Da Vinci Code!) and then to top it all off, a return to Montreal.

Since I've been back I've had time to think about my future. I've just recently all-but-overcome the most difficult period of my life and I wouldn't have been able to do it without a small group of VERY special people, people who will always be in my life. I cannot say the same for those who turned their backs when I needed them most. They know who they are. They have been erased from my speed-dial and blocked (and some deleted) from msn (that is NOT an acceptable way to maintain a good friendship-msn is a means of slacking off work, saying hi to friends afar with whom proper contact is not possible, and chatting with people you don't know. It is NOT meant as the life-thread of a healthy relationship and only means of communication with someone who lives 5 minutes away! I'm sorry, but if you cut me out of your life and don't return calls, are always "too busy" to spend any proper time with me or have "lots of good friends and don't need me" then the same applies to you.)

I hate being harsh but I'm at a stage in my life where I am happy and I don't need to be taken advantage of anymore. I will no longer just drop everything when they need help, like they expect me to. I used to do that but why should I? I got nothing from them when I was screaming out for help and now they are going to see how it feels. I won't let them walk all over me anymore. If they want to treat people like crap then that crap is going to come flying back and hit them in the face.

Now that I have that out of my system I feel a lot better so I can change subject now...

I am househunting. Not because I want to move but because I want a cat and I can't have one in this building. I'd like to stay in this area but we'll see. There's no hurry, I won't be getting the cat for a while yet so there's plenty of time to search and see what's available. I'd also like a Capuchin monkey but that's another blog!

Until the next time!


Me with Sadna, one of the above-mentioned VERY special people.
