Smoke, Drills & Woodwork
Oh my gosh I am so sorry guys, I have been neglecting my diary! Like anyone cares, right?!?
I think this is the longest Ihave gone without an entry though... like 12 days!
I have just been ridiculously busy.
Just a few updates 'cause I don't really have time for this right now either:
I have quit smoking. Fuck it's hard. I forgot how hard this is... and it seems harder now because I think I smoked more this time then I did before I quit last time. This time better be for good. It's only day 6 now... well.. kind of... the quit date was last Saturday & I already caved that night & smoked one. Then on Sunday I had a half of one. I guess that makes those days not count? Too bad. I count them... they were still tough days. I am feeling phyisical & mental/emotional withdrawls & it is not fun. I feel like crap. But I know this will pass... it'll all be worth it... but God.. it really sucks right now!
Hank's birthday was the 24th. it was good - we took the day off & hung out together & then met family & friend's a Boston Pizza for dinner & then went bowling. That was lots of fun, I think we're gonna do that more often. Then we all came back to our house & drank some moer & sang karaoke! Good times. I got Hank a really great cordelss drill... I worked really hard on researching this & making sure I got the right thing. I was so impressed with myself, and so was he. Hank's mom asked me that week what I got him & I told her. Guess what she went & got him??? I fucking DEWALT drill!!! That is the most expensive brand name too ever & I wasn't paying for that shit. Everyone told me you are just paying for the name anyway. I got him a Craftsman & it was expensive enough & has so many different settings etc. Sure, the drill she got him has a cord & no settings, but still, why would she do that? I feel like she wanted to one-up me & I felt so sad. Hank says it is two totally different things to have a corded & a cordless, but I don't see it. I think it was kind of a mean thing to do... inconsiderate anyway. He's happy to have two drills, incase someone is helping him or whatever, but it still hurt me.
You'll never guess who crawled out of the friggen woodwork & called my mom to find out how to find me? Friggen Aaron Andronyk! He was like my best friend for a long time back when I was like 18-21 or so. We did everything together. then suddenly he meets some broad & soon enough he stops talking to me. Well, sure enough, like 8 years later, he calls me. And as if I didn't know - I totally knew - he calls the weekend after she kicked him out. Nice. Well, either way, 8 years or whatever - I still care & I am here for him. We talked on the phone last night for hours. I think we'll try to hook up in Edmonton when I am there. I think Hank would like him. But apparently he is in AA - spent some time in Henwood etc. and doesn't drink now, so we'll have to find something different to do with him. Anyway, it was nice to talk to him & all, but I feel like as soon as they get back together or whatever, I will be back out of the picture again... MEN!
I could go on a lot more about that & him & other things, but I really have to go now.
I'll try to come back soon... but who knows, things are so busy between now & when I leave for Edmonton on the 15th, I might not be able to write again till after Christmas!
Hope that doesn't heppen, but if it does, have a merry one!
Love ya!
