Well alright, I over reacted.
Things are going well. Cush and I went over to the BFF's house and it was like old times.
I have to say she's matured and grown since I saw her last year, which is great.
I met her new boyfriend and he seems great and I think I like him better then her ex-fiance, which is fantastic. She seems happier and lighter and I was a little happy to see that she's put on a few pounds, a sure sign of happiness and self confidence. She was so skinny before when she was with her ex, it was a bit too much. I didn't bother to ask her about the no emails for 2 months thing, it didn't seem worth it.
So far I've been doing lots of shopping and seeing my extended family, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Cush and I even managed to run into an old friend of mine from grade school while we were out shopping. I've known this girl since I was 6 and hadn't seen her in years.
I was in full on Muscat mode and gave her a hug and had to stop myself from kissing her cheeks.
We just don't really do that in Canada unless we're being posers. Seriously.
Other then that I've been so cold I can hardly stand it. My bedroom is now downstairs in the basement since my dad turned my old bedroom into an office for himself.
It's freezing down there but at least Cush and I have lots of privacy! It's unfortunately too cold to make use of that privacy, oh well.
The termometer on my parents deck said it was 0 C at about 8 am this morning, which is really cold for October here. I keep saying to myself that I'm Canadian, I can do cold! but honestly I'm finding it really hard. All that training half naked in front of the AC was for nothing it seems.
Today we're going to the Thanksgiving Craft Show in the countryside. It's an outside event so I'm planning to wear 2 pairs of socks, leggings, jeans, long sleeve shirt (which feels so wierd after not wearing one for a year), a sweater, my old winter coat, a hat, scarf, mittens and probably my old winter boots.
Since I'm not really big on crafty things I probably won't buy anything except a hot cup of apple cider and maybe a Christmas ornament or 2 but you never know, I may be overcome with nostalgia for Canadian crafts and buy lots of stuff.
Other then that I'm a bit overwhelmed about the amount of people who want to see me. Add all those people with plans my mom has made with me, plus the things that Cush and I want to do together...I don't know how I'm going to fit it all in.
Oh well, I'll either find a way or I won't!
Got some rest...now for the back story.
