At least my weekend was really good. I saw for a cheerful and companionable drink after work Friday, then went to ‘s birthday party at ‘The Sultan’s Tent’ and got a belly dancing certificate after a dubious “training” session.<\/p>\n

Saturday spent the day with Mum, sorting clothes and preparing for a humongous garage sale\/Goodwill donation, then chilled out with when he got home from work.<\/p>\n

Sunday woke up late, remembered ‘s wedding shower in a panic, realized there was no way I could get myself to Newmarket, couldn’t find the invitation, only had her work number on my (defunct) cell phone, and just sort of threw my hands up in the air. Which was a mistake, and boy oh boy am I feeling badly about it now. Must take her out for a grovelling apology lunch at some point this week – maybe tomorrow. Called to make amends, but she is (rightfully) smokin’ mad. Did manage to make it to book club on Sunday night though, and discussed “The Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency” in some depth while eating my weight in couscous and lentils. Went home and crashed out with JVL on the bean bag chair, watched four episodes of “The Chappelle Show”.<\/p>\n

Today has not been going well at work. I neglected something kind of super important and financial, causing havoc with my boss’s corporate card. Argh. I wrote him an apology letter, with cash reimbursement for the delinquency charge included, and he told me not to lose sleep over it, but still. I feel horrible. It was an innocent mistake, but I should have been paying closer attention. <\/p>\n

In home life news, has not yet called me back with any information about transferring the lease for my old apartment from my name into his, and I am getting very stressed about it. There’s only a week left in August, and I need this DONE before September. Too many loose ends… bathroom not finished… next work assignment not decided… return to school on hold…<\/p>\n

WEIRDNESS! Steve Lim works in my building!!! He’s working for the Ontario Realty Corporation; I bumped into him crossing Bay Street on my lunchhour. He was in a suit and tie. Last time I saw him he was wearing a leather jacket and DJing at a club in Markham.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
