05:19 am - aftermath
for those of you who reeled in horror at my last post, understand that that was 10 year of bile and vitriol that needed OUT! The moment I got angry, I wrote that and the moment I was done, I felt soooo great! I still do... sometimes one just has to accept that there are people if one's life whom it's totally okay to hate... not an active "sek and destroy" hatred, but a passive hatred, like the kind one reserves for mosquitos... they're only REALLY loathesome when they're present.
Thank you for your kind words and warm thoughts, those are always welcome, even/and especially when the occasion is indeed a productive and happy one.

10:49 am - At lassssst... (revisit)
I have a countertop... it is being installed right now... it smells awesome, looks gorgeous, and as much as I dread the responsibility of the upkeep, I'm not sorry that I had to go with my second choice...
Maple butcher block... I'd swear the wood's stilla bit green; as the hole for the sink was being cut out, I swear I smelled pancakes.

Freesias don't require a cooling period, however they usually require a lot of sunshine and about three months of growth time before they bloom. These fragrant flowers do best in a very bright room with daytime temperatures of about 70°F and nighttime temperatures of about 50°F.

(b) You will need to provide hotel accomodation (single rooms for 2-3 nights
@ 4 star hotel), plus shuttle (airport-hotel-venue), plus catering, plus
backline, and p.a. and lighting system.
(c) You will need to provide the flights and work visa.The flights are
from/to: 1x Copenhagen (Denmark), 4 x Berlin (Germany), 1 x Hannover
(Germany). The backline includes: 2 x keyboards stands, 2 x drum floor
toms.
plus a fee.

... give a gal nice weather today and she'll bask in the sun... toil int he garden a little bit, but generally waste the day in a tank top and a BBQ apron... nice weather next week, however, and she'll have hope to last her the rest of this really craptastic spring.

HOusing renos don't get done in this city becuase there is NOBODY wanting to do 'em...
seems the general going attitude of general contractors is "if I'm not interested, I won't even tell you. I just won't show up."
If you DO get them to show up, good fucking luck in showing them what you want done. Mostly they'll stand around your kitchen, drolling and then leave with vague promises of an estimate next week... well, for 3 of them, tha'ts been anywhere between 3 weeks to 4 months ago. One of whom I finally tracked down by phone said pretty clearly: "I'm not going to give you the estimate, I don't want the work."
All this down to one guy who was ready top start in May... did a project very similar, came with the references and photos in hand... only now the financial backer wants to see 2 additional quotes that I just can't eseem to fucking get.
FUCK!
It's time to start throwing dishes for the pleasure of hearing them smash... also, may as well, cos I don't have anywhere to put them away in this piece of shit kitchen I've lived with so far.

11:42 am - odd dreams....
.. at my mother's house, the doorbell rang, but no one was there... wound up sitting on the roof of my office (not very high at all) with Wes, from school, and Leighann... a shingle came loose and I started to freak the hell out... MAJOR wave of panic while I crawled the peak and through the window... never been so scared in my life.. certainly never so terrified of what, at worst, would amount to an 8 foot drop.
... wedding day: for some reason, now wedding is at some conference centre... I get there on my own, in full bridal regalia... maid of horror nowhere to be found... some maintenance dude tells me how to get to the "bridal ready suite" which involves a hydraulic staircase type thing... again, I get trapped on the ramp with no foothold or handhold... too much open space... freak the hell out... IN MY WEDDING DRESS, which is now streaked with dirt from crawling along this staircase on my hands and knees... start to think that "Wtf? Did I even TELL her that I'd like her to be my maid of honour?"
I don;t remember the wedding at all... like me IN THE DREAM doesn't remember... it's the reception... I'm in utter distress... I know it's not ALL about me, but you'd think that my wedding would be a LITTLE bit about me...
Mika did say "yay wedding" at me at one point... I told her I wanted a do-over on the whole day. This time, with lipstick.

11:55 am - ??
Why the bad dreams?
Pre-travel anxiety?
Too much pasta and greek salad for dinner?
Pre-career-transition anxiety?
Tax fears?
All of the above?
goodness me, but I'm tired... can't sleep... something will eat me...
So whaddaya think: 4 more years of school? In Toronto?

I dream of strange things: babysitting some young upstart, losing track of his at some huge party and finiding him rolling in heaps of cocaine... can't stop to worry about him, though, Mussolini needs me to operate on his kidneys...
I wake up in an odd removed mind set and start thinking about my upcoming travels... I have 4 days to travel elsewhere... Kyyiv? Wroclaw? Prague? Krakow? I have a soft warm spot for the Eastern half of Central Europe...
Would that I make good use of this trip...
