What a Week!

OK, so it's been a while, I know, but I have been really busy what with helping Desi out and trying to figure out some school stuff. So first things first; Desi's doing just fine. His surgery went well, and although I think Trillium hospital in Etobicoke is the most disorganized, useless hospital I've EVER been in in my entire life, they managed to return my boyfriend to me healthy and complete save for three little incisions in his abdomen. I don't think in my entire life I've ever been so relieved as I was when I saw Desi being rolled out of the OR. His throat was dry, his eyes puffy and unfocused, and he looked so frail, but he was my Desi, and he was alive, and boy was I relieved. I feel like a punk, but i actually cried tears I was so happy. I guess I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing cause it was only hernia surgery, and I'm treating it like it was open heart surgery. But he's my baby and I love him to death, and I guess if that makes me overly protective and sen sensitive, then so be it!

So I stayed at Desi's house until Thursday, by his side at all times. I helped him sit and stand and move around, and got him food and tucked him in. He was my little trooper though, and after about 48 hours wanted to try and do everything himself (stupid!) so I had to be more mindful of him come Wednesday so I could catch him trying to do something himself and intercept before he hurt himself. That Desi!! Anyway, he's OK though. Sneezing hurts him something fierce, but otherwise as long as he doesn't tense his stomach muscles, he's good. Yesterday was his first official outing. We went through Wal Mart and then hit Kool Kats for a few beers. He held up nicely, but the bloatiness became too much eventually and he had to tap out for the night. Its ok, I was already pretty drunk and I had had a really good night anyway! ;-)

Ok, so other than Desi, I also helped move Marg's stuff out of her apartment on Thursday. It was hard not to focus on where I was and why I was moving the stuff and why she wasn't there, but I managed. Especially once we got to the really heavy stuff! And then we get the stuff up to the building, and the dick we call John Boy (the superintendant's husband--he holds no power and is the most useless piece of garbage on the planet) starts up with his shit about how there's only one elevator and we better not fill the elevator with our crap otherwise he's gonna stop us from moving the stuff in and how we're a useless bunch, etc. etc. First of all, it's their bloody fault that the service elevator was broken (has been for weeks now) so either fix the damn thing or shut your damn mouth. Secondly, it's either we incovenience the elevator for like 2 hours or we spend the next six being a nuisance to anyone who wants to get in and out of the elevator. Not that anyone but him was inconvenienced. In fact, the entire building was really nice to us, trying to be really helpful, and upset at the super that the service elevator was down. So there!

Thursday night after moving day I had Carol (the lady driving the truck for us, and also my sisters friends' mother) drop me off at Kool Kats to unwind with a beer. Mmmm, beer, it had been days since I did anything but stare blankly at a TV, and although I love my baby to death, boy was I bored! Besides, it was too late for me to go over to his house, so I decided to take advantage of the time. I had a good time, although the Beautiful Women's Curse struck once again (more about that later...I think maybe I'll do an entire expose on it so you can fully understand all of the facets of this curse. Then again, it'll probably have to be a two part expose since there's so much to cover, I don't know if it can fit all into one post). I got wasted, stayed til last call, woke up with a wicked hangover, and somehow or another only managed to spend $6 the entire night!! LOL!! How do I do it you ask? I have no clue, but maybe thats some of the good back splash of the Beautiful Women's Curse. Again, we'll explore this in my later expose!

Friday, as I said, was really nice. We went to Walmart to get some cheapy frames for this sketch thing we had made in one of those booths when we were in some city in ontario when Desi was travelling for his job. Wait...nope, doesn't say on the picture which city, but I think it was probably Bellville. Oh well, anyway, its a nice picture. I'll add it to my blog once my home PC is back up and running so I can use my scanner. I could load the software onto my laptop, but the more programs, the more polluted the hard drive, the slower and crappier the laptop becomes. Anyway, afterwards we went to Kool Kats, and were having a nice little conversation when one of my really good friends, incidentally named Desmond as well, came in with Ray and a bunch of other people. I was like holy crap, long time no see, because you see Dez (my friend) had an actual girlfriend for the past 8 months and was beyond whipped. They had some crazy problems and apparently she gets violent, cause his necks all scratched up, but they broke up, and hopefully for good this time, so he was able to go out and see someone other than her for once. Good job Dez, stay strong, and find a girl who uses her claws for good, not evil!!

Ok, so thats about it really. Today I'm gonna head to the bank and cash some of my birthday money (woo hoo!!) and try to fix up some stuff for my basement apartment (which by the way is not going to be done on time...stupid Michael!)and finally...and here's the best part....because my birthday is in the month of August, Lucy's Seafood (the one on Milcreek) is gonna give me a free meal (as long as we buy another one, which is fine since generally Desi and I do tend to eat 2 separate meals when we go out to a restaurant!) Seriously, they sent me a letter in the mail, and they sent Desi one too in November. Awesome eh?

Anyway, to all a good weekend, and Michelle, I'm thinking September 4th?? Thats the Soc Sci Faculty day thing (so I've just received a letter informing me) but I have a serious feeling I'm gonna feel waaayyyy to old to participate in like 90% of the things they wanna do. Plus there's a lot of extra time after they're done and stuff. Anyway, let me know.

Sorry, I lost focus there. Where was I again? Oh yeah

Cheers
