Well, I have some time here (Di is out getting some things packed at the old house), so here's a bare bones of the weekend)
So, Thursday I told my supervisoer that I was so burned out I was gonna snap and go postal...he authorized me to take Friday off. Friday morning, bright and fucking early, I take a cab to the train station, and 7:30am I'm headed for Vancouver. Well, this lasted a couple minutes before the train stops, apparently because the cold has caused a brake hose to burst or something. 40 minutes goes by, they finally get it jury-rigged enough to back it up to the station. By 10am, we were finally running again...yeesh.
Weekend has been very cool, other than that. I met Di's mom and sisters...got along with them all quite well. Her mom is a trip and a half. Very straightforward, good sense of humour, no illusions, very much my kinda person. Her sisters run the gamut from quiet and earthy to loud and obnoxious, and I had fun with all of them...hell, I've already made plans to help cook 'breffas'! Fielded some questions from her mom which ran from the normal to the surprising, but, true to form, I answered them all...hell, what do I have to hide?
Joined Di for a photo shoot, which was also a lot of fun. Bob, the photog, got a real kick out of the fact that I was more than willing to help out...I think, once I move down here, I will be working with him a lot. A real butt-rocker too! (*long hair swinging, fist in the air*) I'm actually considering letting him shoot me...we'll see.
My train to leave heads out at 6:30 tonight...I should be home by 10-ish. Man, I do not wanna go, but I know the situation. Not much longer....
Not much longer at all......
