Spring Cleaning

Another fun-filled, action-packed weekend down. I went to the terapists on thursday, after picking up my latest shipment of comics from Denver. I got some newer Spider-man, Walking Dead back issues and a couple of graphic novels I picked up for Billy. The therapist and I talked about responsibility and me. I referenced Star Trek, Spider-man and Speed all in the span of an hour. It was a good laugh and more or less what it boiled down to was that I have to start reigning myself in as far as taking responisibility for other peoples' shit. I can be supportive, directional and helpful, but I don't have to feel responsible for everything. More or less I have to let go of the wheel at some point and remember the prime directive.

I slept almost all day on friday. The cats took turns laying with me on the couch while I dozed through bad movies and daytime tv. Then I was in bed by 10pm and asleep again before too long. Saturday found us on the road for Leduc and dinner and drinks with some old friends from Fort McMurray. We had a good time, but it was reitterated to me that I can't drink alot anymore. I didn't get sick or anything, but I was pretty buzzed from the few beers I drank. All in all it was a good time.

Sunday we went to the comic store and future shop, where I looked in vain for a copy of Fletch. I don't know why the movie is so difficult to find. Then we went to Costco, where I picked up an external hard drive to back up my mac. With the exception of Fletch, I did find the Led Zepplin albums (I and II) that I was looking for. Then we headed home, relaxed and had a breather.

Monday was busy. I went to get my prescription refilled, went to the bank, got keys cut and meandered my way back to Cold Lake. When I arrived, things seemed off. There was snow in the driveway, indicating no recent driveway activity, and the house was a little jumbled. Upon investigation, I discovered that Sonja had moved out. Mixed feelings, that. Then I phoned Barb who told me that Darren (the new roommate) was also not coming back. I decided to make the best of it (since I was now out all kinds of money for carrying the bills) and moved into the large master bedroom. I know have alot of space and I'm much happier with my space.

Today has been more or less uneventful. We've hired a receiver finally, and another one is to start on friday, so once I get people trained and tweak my system, things should start moving a little more smoothly.

New people, new spaces, new comics and new outlooks.
