good things

2002-08-10 - 6:45 p.m.

well, it's been a while since i updated...i've just either been busy at work or too tired to type!Mostly at work or tired though...so lets see, what have i been up to? Well monday was a great day..we both had the day off work and started it off by going shopping for food and then coming home to make lasagne for a dinner with our flatmates that night...You know how everyone has a 'thing' that they can make for a special dinner? Well we've discoverd that our thing is lasagne....which seemed to impress our flatmates enough, so that must be a good thing, eh? anyway more about the dinner later..

After making the lasagne we went to Area 2..which was very cool. Ash were great and David Bowie was fantastic...we checked out the dj tent as well...not really my kind of music, but it was good enough.WE didn't spend a penny the whole day as everything we needed seemed to be free! Free snacks that we picked up from a little pepsi sampling stand, free drinks at the dj tent, we even got new keyrings out of it!

Ah.anyway..we didn't stay for all of moby cos we had to come home for our fat dinner..it was the last time we'd all be together in the apartment as one of us leaves tomorrow and the other one is in BC for the week..

anyway so our lasagne was a big sucess..as was the chocolte cake that we bought..and the chocolate cake that someone else bought!

yum!!!

we had a great night...it was really nice to all sit down toghether and just chat awat..we hadn;t done it before and i don't know if we weil again just becasue it's dfficult to get everyone at home at the same time..but it was good and i'm really glad we did it.

The rest of the week i have just been working..7.30 am starts in the coffee house place and 11 pm finishes at the cirque (did i mention i'm now working at the cirque du soleil and that i quit the call centre job?!)

So yeah i've been pretty tired!

Both jobs are going pretty well, and i think i'm actualy going to miss working at the coffee place..i'll definitley miss the people :-( i had to tell them this week that i'll be leaving in just a week and a bits time..they were all upset and i feel so bad for lying to them (i said i'd be here for a year at my interview..) but it had to be done and i've been a good worker for them even if i do say so myself!

Yesterday was a day off and it was great.It was the 9th of the month which means it was a monthoversary for me and Levi (2 years and 4 months that is now!) we had a great day...we lazed about in bed well into mid day..and it was wonderful then we finally got up and lazily got our stuff together and ate something...and just..well you know that way where you don't HAVE to do anything, so you don't do anything and you don't have to feel bad about it?..is'nt that a great feeling...

anyway eventually we did feel bad about it..wasting the day and whatnot.so we got ready and headed out on the bike and blades just 10 minutes west to a park i found a few days ago...(it's so close but in the opposite direction from where we work and usually go out) It was a lovely day..the weather was just nice, not too hot for a change..holiday weather! so we sat in the park and ate lunch for a while and then went to the outdoor swimming pool. This country has got it so right with it's free pools idea. It's great! So we sat at the poolside and sunbathed for a while..i was missing having a bikini..i only brought a swimsuit and bikini bottoms with me thinking i'd buy a top here...but i haven;t had a chance to shop around and when i have seen bikinis they're whole sets...they don't seem to really go in for seperates over here...or if they do they're either horible or really expensive! so yeah now i have an annoying circular tan line on my back from my swimsuit!...but anyway..we went for a couple of dips in the pool when we got hot..and then lay in the sun drying off..

Levi jumped in the pool one last time before we left.. and then went to stand under a litte mushroom shaped fountain in shallow pool..she was generally messing about and i crouched down at the poolside to feel the temperature of the water.I looked up to see her looking back at me for a split second..a look of mischeif in her eyes..and i knew what was coming next..but not soon enough.She grabbed the hand that was in the water and pulled me into the pool...getting my nice dry body soaking wet again...freezing me with the coldness of the water..shocking me with the shallowness of the pool and getting water up my nose..which, i hate!

When i got my head out of the water she was standing there laughing her head off with that look on he face which says..'i know you're going to kill me now.. but it was SO worth it!' and dutifully and predictably i moaned at he for a while and petted my lip..and she told me i was cute and asked if i was mad...to which i said yes but i couldn't help smiling as always happens in these situations where she does something crazy and i can't help love her more for it...which, if you're reading honey, does NOT mean i forgive you for it or that you can do it again!

Anyway after the pool we came home and made a stirfry, after stopping in a korean grocery store to pick up some ingredients on the way home. Dinner was good and the Levi had to go to work...so she did...and i sat here at the computer bored for ages until my mum came online (she was just online again with my sister just now chatting to me...i love having access to msn again..i'm gonna miss it so much when my roomate gets back from BC!)Then at around 8 i headed a few blocks down the road to the ROM (royal ontario museum) which is free and closes at 9.30 on fridays... i only saw a tiny bit of it while i was there but i liked what i saw..very cool it was..i'm hoping i have another friday night off this week so i can go back and see the rest of it.

ON my way home i was really tired but couldn't resist stopping of at Tim Hortons..which i have never been into before..but i realsied that hot chocolate is only 93 cents so i HAD to get one!..so i got my hot chocolate and walked home sipping it..then sat on the bed and gave Levi a call at work to see how it was going.

After that i just lay down on the bed and the next thing i remember is seeing levi sitting writing her diary...looking at me and telling me i'm so cute when i sleep...it was almost 12 and there i was lying on bed sound asleep, fully clothed and everything!

Then she got in bed beside me and we snuggled up for the night.

All too soon it was 7 am again and i was getting up for work.I hate leaving her warm and sleeping in bed..i jsut want to stay there and cuddle into her in the mornings...but at least the last thing i take with me in the morning on the way to work is a big warm cuddle,a tired kiss and the image of her warm and asleep in bed.It's fantastic :-D

I'm so glad and so suprised in a way how about how comfortably we're living toghether...it seems so natural..if there's anything she doesn't know how to do i usually know it..and the same goes the other way around...if neither of us know, we work it out together and it turns out fine.We don't argue about much and i thought that we would have killed one another within the first couple of weeks...we're good together..and i know we still have the travelling part of this left to do..but it's going to be horible going back home...where she's not just an arms length away when i need her or want her. Sleeping alone will be awful... but right now i'm just thinking that we have to make the most of our last couple of weeks in our fabulous double bed..cos after this it's going to be rock hard single hostel beds in shared dorms :-( but i'm sure we'll fit in a half swanky hotel somewhere along the way!

So yeah things are going good...and it's good to know that me and levi are still great together after 2 months alone....i could get used to this, very used to it.
