Have you ever wondered what exactly it is you are here to do?  I mean, obviously everyone is here for some reason, although a few (off the top of my head) fail miserably at even some of the most simple of tasks and cause for the masses to request a little more chlorine in the gene pool… but have you actually laid in bed at night, in the dark when it’s really quiet, and just think about… well, why?
Then out of nowhere, the person you absolutely adore rests her (or his, for you women) head on your chest or shoulder and wraps their arm around you, letting out a relaxing sigh… and everything suddenly makes sense.  You know why you are here.  You are meant to be a pillow.  And you know what?  Its even better when you’re totally okay with that, because how hard can it be to screw up as a pillow?

So, where to start.  Gave up on Michigan, and went back to BC where all things started.  Who would have thought that while there, I would have found the one thing that I had been looking for my whole life, and that it was right there in front of me this whole time, especially through the crap I had to deal with when I was with Tara.  My anchor, grounding me to reality is now my life as well.  I just took too long to open my eyes up to see her there.
I’ve got the weekday thing happening back on Pender… drive the truck where I’m told, do deliveries when I’m told, and occasionally throw things at Don or the customers… it’s like I never left, except that the pay is a LOT better this time around.  Then, I get to spend the weekends at, what is honestly, my real home.  I mean, I sleep at the place I have on the Island (Yay for not having to live with my parents!!), but it’s empty and doesn’t feel like home to me.  But here, where I am now, is home.  There are sounds, and people, and love.  In a way, I didn’t even have that in Michigan, so it’s like coming into something new… and I love it.

Yeah, so after almost 3 weeks, I think I may have finally almost beat this damn ear infection.  I’m still deaf in my right ear, but the pain is gone, so I’m content.  Besides, it’s a great excuse to not listen to Tara (joking, Love).  Who would have ever thought that something like a small case of the flu would blow up into something that was such a pain in the ass (actually, the side of my head)?  Dustin got over whatever he had fairly quickly… we never did hear back from the Hospital about the blood work, so we’ll likely never know what kind of an infection he had… perhaps it’s better that way.  Leaves an air of mystery about the sickness, or something. We finally got Winter… only took until the middle of January for it to happen, but there’s actually snow on the ground… and it may even stay!  I was out shovelling the shit all afternoon (running back and forth between that and the house to check that the kids were not killing each other), so my back is a little sore.  Must not be used to the work. I have no idea why I’m “blogging”.  I’m not the blogging type, and I rarely even write more than my name down on any piece of paper, and most of the typing I do is more technical than “a day in the life”.  I guess I just wanted to fill in that empty space on my site.  Besides, everyone else is doing it… (more…)
