Saturday night, 11 February 2006 [10:00 p.m.]:
| KD – Well I was a total sloth today – managed to do some laundry and some hand washing and got the front verandah vacuumed. The expensive old Electrolux has just about had it and I can hardly use it at all. Why is it that everything is breaking down and I have to replace just about everything? [Especially now when I am trying to get things (like the airfare!) ready for your trip.] They rang me up today and contact lenses are going to set me back almost $700!! I watched "Whale Rider" today and I cried when the whales were beached. I think you’d like it but I doubt that you’d have seen it as it is a New Zealand film and probably didn’t get too much promotion in Canada. I also watched Brandon Lee in "The Crow" – I’m sure that you must have seen that. I tried to work out today if I’m grieving or if I’m depressed. I’ve got every right to be either, or both, of those. Anyway, because it’s that horrible weekend again, I am keeping a low profile and not getting up to very much. I hope that Don M will write soon. I tried to get Kingsley from Victoria to go outside tonight, find Ursa Major and deliver a message to you – can you believe that he doesn’t know the constellation? Far out! He’s a pretty good bloke though and you can’t expect everyone to like the things that we like after all. Honey, I’m going to finish here. I’m going to go to bed early tonight – I tried twice to sleep during the day today but I just couldn’t fall asleep. I’ll do what I have to do so I can get in bed and take a sleeping pill and sleep. I just don’t want to be awake when the 12th of February get ushered in. I am sad enough as it is, I just don’t feel like being awake and aware when it comes. Oh! there was one thing that I wanted to tell you! Earlier in the week I found a picture frame with sections in it for five small pictures, ranging in size from 4 x 4 to 2 x 2 inches. Last night I resized copies of your photos and put them in the frame and it looks terrific. That alone was worth the price of the printer I got! I used the picture of you from January 2005 in front of Alison’s house with Kisa, that one of you with Kisa that was on Lavalife and the one responsible for me meeting you, one with Dac taken when you were in Vancouver, one of you (a really old one – you look skinny!) with a three-pointer hanging up and you’ve got your rifle taken in a garage somewhere (Abbotsford?), and one where you’re looking pretty self satisfied in your float tube (how bizarre – you’re drinking a Coke!). I had some glossy paper and printed them in best quality (took forever – I just went and fixed dinner and it was still going when I got back. The frame is just made of plastic but the black surround makes the colourful pictures look great. I want to get a larger frame that I can put some of your (and my) favourite shots in together – like Quesnel Lake, that old house in the snow near you at 108 Mile Ranch and that one of Kisa that you sold. The little frame had two silver medallions – one that says "LOVE" that I have left on there and a little one that said "Love" and had a heart – that little one will be perfect to go in you scrapbook. Jeez, I have so much that I have to work on: the house is a dump and needs lots of work, I need to be working on my literature review for my Masters’ and I need to work on you scrapbook and the one for Jessi. (I ought to be going to the gym, too.) But for now I’m going to do nothing at all save a little reading before I fall asleep. I’m pretty sure there are stars out tonight and I will go out and send you a hug. I’m pretty sure that I won’t be out there for long ‘cuz I know I will cry so you’ll have to drag yourself away from what ever it is that you are up to up there and come and hug me back. I miss you so – - Susan |
