I began this post yesterday about 15 minutes before I left work... but I'm changing it completely and actulally posting it today!

Hmm... so much to say...

First the haircut blog:

Went for dinner and conversation with Tusker on Tuesday cuz she's moving to the island.. had amazing Thai food at Simply Thai. Oh. Yum. I've been there 3 times in the last 2 weeks! I'd better cut that out... time to save money and make my own at home.

Met up with my brother and his roomie (soon to be my roomie, too) to talk about the upcoming move into the house in Maple Ridge. It's both larger and smaller than I thought. Certain aspects are bigger, and certain ones are smaller. =) We arranged what needs doing, what needs bringing and what needs buying. They're happy I'm coming to live there and that their current roomies ( a couple ) are moving out. Apparently they're really messy. Hope they can deal with me!

I had a quick visit with M. before heading out there... all too brief and made bittersweet by the fact that I have a cold sore and couldn't return his kisses... oh the sweet, sweet torture! It'll heal soon. Hopefully before this weekend. We're going to the island with a group of his co-workers for a tour of Wild Wood - an amazing example of ecoforestry - and the Carmanah valley. Camera and dog in tow, I go. Tent snugglies at night. =)

Enough of the haircut... here's the real news!

I spoke to George at length over ICQ last night... He has met someone, too! We both shared a bit about our new love interests and congratulated each other - heck, I even tried to give him what advice I could about how to make sure he wins her heart (he asked for it, it wasn't unsolicited advice). =) I'm so glad that we talked about it. He was the brave one, asking me if I had met anyone yet... I admitted I had and asked him the same question. I was surprised but very pleased to learn that he's found someone he's interested in. Closer to his age, too! George and I will always be good friends. I know I can count on him, and he knows he can count on me. This is a first in my life as far as ex-es goes... I'm very happy about it. *bounce*

Now to get my parents used to the idea that George isn't coming back and I've found someone else who makes my heart and mind and soul filppy flop in the best possible way. I'll introduce them over the moving weekend. =)

Opinion time:

I'm upset about our medical system. I feel betrayed. I thought our system was so wonderful... care for everyone! State supported health! An equal level of care for all. But it's not. It's already a two-tier system. If you have money, you can get tests and care and specialists... but if you don't... you get run of the mill tests, care and specialists -- and you can go for years not even knowing what you're suffering from. If they don't fix you up, they still get paid. If they don't figure out what you've got. They still get paid. If you die. They still get paid.

I wonder if there are better medical care systems out there to model ours on... I need to do some research into Eurpoe and beyond. This is just. Plain. Wrong.

ARGH!!

I will be moving out of here soon. I will be moving out of here soon. I will be moving out of here soon.

I will not be made to feel like a child every day. I will not be made to feel like a child every day. I will not be made to feel like a child every day.

*stretch* *yawn*

I don't feel like posting.

*snooze*
