...Wow

Well, it's been on long, busy and eventful week for me. The days are completely blending together, so this post might be vague when it comes to times and dates.

Started a couple days ago, which started out kinda bad, but oh well. I was on MSN, chatting with my cousin Sandy, when all the sudden, Houdini himself (Andy), appears on MSN. I panic. I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out to Sandy when he writes me. "Hi" 'What do I do?' I think to myself. I was in no way ready for the talk (which I knew would turn into a fight). So... I respond back "Hi". There was a little silence, before he started to ask where I was, and said "... you never called, you never wrote, you never left me an offline message on MSN". I proceeded to tell him that -he- hadn't either. Anyways, after me telling him about waiting for a week, I told him that I wasn't ready for this talk, and blocked him. I sat there, scared, stressed, and not knowing what to to do. After about 5 minutes of sitting on bed, in shock, I un-blocked him so we could talk. "I think we need to talk about this" he said. To which I responded "Okay. Do you want to go first or do you want me to?". He started. He told me that his grandmother is dying from stomach cancer and he's been at his friends houses who take care of him and feed him and do the things he needs (which means I wasn't doing those things... apparently) I let him say his piece and he finished it off with "... I think it would be best if we separate. I think we'd be better of just good friends." I was jumping out of my skin. I was so happy he was thinking the same thing as me, and actually said it first. I quickly responded with "I 100% agree". He told me "Tanya, you were good to me 99% of the time. And someday, the -right- guy -will- come along for you. Don't let this experience hinder that." He and I proceeded to talk about a little bit of the specifics of it all. I told him that I was already looking for an apartment and might have one come the end of the month. He told me there was no rush, and that whenever I needed help, he would come, and bring along our two mutual friends Dippy and Stretch (aka Matt and Adam). We had a few laughs chatting about them when he wrote "Now scram. Go have some fun with your friends. You need it." I stayed online a little bit longer, but then logged off. I haven't talked to him since, but the feeling of calm that was over me, was un-believable. I logged back on after about a half hour. Got to talk with some people (the usuals: Ben, April, Christy, April, Christine) and tell them the good news. While chatting with them and laughing so hard my sides hurt, my (aka mom and dad's) cell phone rang. I answered it, and it was one of the guys that I had called about an apartment in Port Williams, on Starr's Point Rd. He and I set up an appointment for the next day (which was yesterday, so I guess all this happened Wednesday). I picked up Megan from work, told her what happened and then headed back to her place to pass out.

Yesterday, I woke up with a smile on my face because of ... well, reasons. :) Chatted online for a bit until I had to pick up Megan at work at 3:00 and take her to get her taxes done. She was super fast and so I dropped her back off at her work so she could get a drive to her tanning appointment. I went back to her place and went on the internet for a little bit, returning to chatting to mostly the same people. Megan called me about an hour later, saying that her drive didn't pick her up, and she needed a drive to her tanning appointment. So.. it was 5:00 and I drove here there for 5:15. She was in for 20 mins and we boogeyed to my apartment appointment at 6:00 and picked up Sandy along the way. Megan stayed in the car, while Sandy and I went in and looked at the apartment. The apartment was nice. Small, but that's all I need. A nice bathroom, which I'm excited about. I asked a few questions and left since he had another lady coming to look at the apartment at 6:15. I told him I'd call him tomorrow (which is today) and went on my way. Went to Megan's house to drop her off and went online. Chatted with Ben, Brad, and Kate for about 10 mins and then left to go to Kate's house. Kate and I hung out, watched some episodes of American Idol, ate her yummy rice salad, talked about stuff, and then headed off to town (New Minas). Went to WalMart to get a paint-by-number (!!), some shampoo and some freezies (!!!). We headed back to her place, after getting gas and telling some funny stories (Same Kate that said "We already had Mac Dinner for Christmas" in the previous post) about her driving over the curb at a gas station. We went back to her place, both went online while she put on a episode of 'The L Word' which was........ interesting. I chatted with Ben, April, Christy and Leanne before heading 'home' (Megan's house). Got home and went online for about an hour, finished my chat with Leanne and April, wished April a happy birthday and then went to bed. Megan came home a short while after that and we chatted... and chatted... and chatted. She's -beyond- excited to see Martin, her boyfriend who's been in Afghanistan for the past 3 months and I was giggly about other things. Needless to say, we didn't get to sleep until about 4am.

I woke up to the -lovely- sound of the alarm this morning ( I -HATE- the sound an alarm makes) at 9:00am and got ready for work. Dropped Megan off at her dad's work so she could get the car, and then came to work.

It's now 1:13 and sooooo sunny outside. Times like these are when I wish I worked outside. It's supposed to be sunny all weekend, which I'm -loving-.

I meet up with mom and dad at tims in just over an hour, on my split, which is also exciting. Dad came down to town to get insurance on his bike so we're all three going out for coffee. On the way, I'm calling Dwayne about my... uhh.... THE apartment. Lol. It's not mine yet.

My days are completely blending together, and I'm looking forward to some good sleep, but we shall see. This weekend's fairing out to possibly be a lot of fun, including Sunday night with smoothies at April's house, and the possibility of Tanya doing some baking. *gasp* Tanya never bakes. :)
See you all later.
NT folks: I'll be pulling in at 1am or so so I'll see you at church Sunday morning.
Ciao!!
-Tanya

Wow..things sound like they are coming togather. God seems like the ultimate traffic Cop. He sends us the right way.
Even if the road is filled with deep and deeper potholes, there is smooth riding ahead.
I am off for the weekend for a wedding. I am wearing last fall's Blu's dress, last springs heels, last time I was at Frenchy's wrap...but a whole new attitude.
Let's get it on!!!!!!

Tanya Reid said...

Well Tanya, it is good to see you so chipper. I am glad that you and Andy are now on the same page. Hope thing work out on the apartment. Let me know.

Not sure when I will be in Not-Digby again. This weekend is FULL. Next weekend will be busy as it is pay week. The week after am "supposed" to have company while Al is away (this will be first weekend in May), 2 weeks after that looks like I will be in New Brunswick visiting Lois... Man, for someone who has no life, I sure am busy!

Point of this story is... I don't know when I will get down again, but YOU can come HERE anytime.

Love your Auntie
