This weekend kept me very busy. Karel and I went to a meeting with the PorlandBloggers group on Friday. We had fun and met some great people. And while they may now be aware of mine and Karel’s situation I hope that they can just let us enjoy our time that we spend socializing with [...]

To say the least this has been an interesting week. I’m discovering all sorts of people read this journal who never comment. I’ve spent the last few days trying to understand what led up to this. Trying to understand the undercurrants of this whole thing. I made some assumptions one day while being mad and [...]

Thanks to : Kylanath for this really cute little survey. I saw this on her site and loved the artwork. Who knew I’d end up with the same results and get the artwork for myself.Nerdslut

This has been a busy morning. We went and got Karel’s ID renewed and opened up his own personal bank account. Both events weren’t very stressful for me, but Karel was a complete bundle of nerves. I tried to support him as much as possible. It’s a little surreal but I’m more ready to be [...]

Find an air conditioner [...]

Yesturday my daughter was in the Junior Rose Festival Parade. Teachers can sign up their classes to be part of it. They have to do a service project and then as a reward, they get to march in the parade. It was very cute and it was interesting to watch the parade get put together [...]

Yesturday was a rollercoaster of a day. I started off my day having an argument over e-mail with one of Karel’s friends. She took something I said and thought I meant something else. And even though I knew better then to talk to someone who disagrees with me when I’m upset and irrational, I responded. [...]

Rule of thumb when breaking up with someone. DON’T talk to his friends. Not when your not emotionally equiped to being rational or understanding because your losing the one thing that means the most to you.
