Another dream!

Another dream to write about!!!
Last night I dreamt that my room-mate, Kelsey and I had a huge fight, over what I don't know, but we just couldn't get along anymore, so I moved out into my house (which is not 'technically' mine in real life, since I aint bought it yet!). After a short while (maybe only a few hours) after moving in, my friend Mike got in contact with me and told me he had gone blind, and he knew that I would help him and take care of him, and he wanted to move in with me. I agreed and he came while I was out somwhere. WHen I entered the house, he was waiting for me in the kitchen with an open box of books that he had bought for me as a present for letting him live in my house. He turned to face me as though he wasn't blind, and tried to act as though he could see. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, tightly hugging him. "I know you're blind." I said. He responded but I don't remember what he said, then he turned and started to pick the books up one by one from the box and tell me what they were. He passed me a Sherlock Holmes book after a bit, but couldn't remember what it was and after trying to figure it out, I hugged him again and told him what it was. Then, for some reason, I had to go see my father. I don't know why, whether he was in the hospital or what, but I HAD to go see him. Mike said it was ok, and went to a party with one of his friends.
Then I woke up. Don't cha hate waking up in the middle of a dream?

A good night :)

Tonight was a good night :) lol! My room-mate was going into Borden tonight, and I have family there, so I said I would go along and see them. First stop was at my great-aunt Rita's, but she was sleeping, so I moved on up the road to visit my Uncle Billy. My uncle Everette was also there, so I had a nice visit with the both of them, and aunt Barb made me a nice home cooked meal before I left. After leaving Billy's house, I went back to visit Rita. She's such a sweet old lady. She was very happy to see me, and I her. She reminds me of my Granny, her sister, a lady who I treasured dearly in the 12 years she was in my life.
After I spent time with Aunt Rita, I went down the street to visit my cousins Jimmy and Cathy. Dear sweet people they are too. Turns out Wednesday night is their crib night, and a couple of their friends come over and play cribbage with them. I was included in the game, and had a wonderful time playing with Cathy, Kenny and Donny. (jimmy sat out to help me 'cause I'm still a beginner) Turns out Donny (Noonan) grew up next door to my father, and recognized me as his daughter (or rather, as a Keough, then as his daughter) After studying my face a bit, he also determined that I looked like my Aunts Helen and Ruthie. To be honest, I cant see Helen in myself, but Ruthie I can. After playing a few rounds of crib with the lot of em, I decided I had better go now, and bid them goodnight.
Walking around the town while waiting for my room-mate, I walked down to my Granny's old house, which is for sale and I wish to buy, and copied down the address, and the number to call to learn what the price is on it. On the sign was a sticker saying "new price" which made me somewhat happy. Happy because the price is lower obviously! But it made me worry, if the house doesn't sell soon, will they tear it down? Or just keep it for sale? Either way, I intend to call and express my interest in the house and hopefully before long, I will be the owner of a house full of memories :)

Sponsorship :)

so, today i started sponsoring a five-year-old girl from Honduras, her name is Paola Alejandra Pasadas Olivera. I'm really excited to be sponsoring her, and really excited to get to know this little girl! I feel so good about what I am doing, and even though I can't really afford this, I felt like this was the time for me to start my sponsorship, and it's something I've wanted to do ever since I could remember. In order to be able to sponsor this little girl, I am giving up chocolate milk and Tim Horton's. I'm looking forward to having a relationship with Paola and hearing from her as she grows up, and maybe someday getting a chance to meet her.

FML

Too much stuff has been going on lately. I'm just tired of it all.
First off, Hayden dying drained my energy for a few days, and then my dad had to have surgery this week, yesterday actually, and i'm just so drained from that, with the stress of the surgery first of all, and then people coming at me from all directions wanting me to pass on their well wishes and love and prayers and all that and i just cant keep up with it! and i'm so busy right now anyways, with school, and volunteering for the Salvation Army, and it looks like i'm going to be getting a job next week or the week after, and Christmas is coming up, and I'm trying to get everyone bought for for that, and I'm just so tired. all i want to do is go home. I NEED to go home, but I'm going in (hopefully) two weeks for a Christmas vacation. I'm so tired. so very tired and sleep doesn't seem to help, and i don't get enough to begin with, and the kid next door yelling all night sure don't help me to get more.
Life right now is not working in my favour. Besides all that, my best friend here has swine flu, although he is getting better, i drove home with him on friday, and he had it then, so i've been exposed so that makes matters worse too because if i get it, well, i'm just fucked because i can't go home and infect my father right after he has heart surgery.

My Christmas Wish

Dear Santa,
Here is what I would like to have this Christmas. The idea partially comes from a couple songs I've been listening to lately, but mostly from my own wishes. This year you can not 'make' what I wish for because it is not material items.
I wish for peace on earth, where each child can play in the park with their friends, and not need to worry about pedophiles, stalkers, or kidnappers.
I wish for the next generation to not know what drugs are, and to know how to drink in moderation, if they drink at all.
No more drunk drivers, no more deaths caused by them.
No more war. No more gangs.
I wish racism would disappear, and the disgraceful names that come with racism, to disappear with it.

RIP Hayden

So, tonight my dad called me and told me a dear friend and former neighbour of ours passed away today. THAT was a shocker. I can't believe he's gone, but I'm glad he isn't sufferring any longer. He has suffered for so many years, he's earned his peace now.
It was hard to adjust to him not living up the road from us when he and his wife moved over town, but this is harder. No longer can I just hop over town to say hi, or greet him along with our other friends over coffee in the morning. He's just not there anymore and that hurts me deeply. I loved him almost as the grandfathers i never had and barely remember. now i truely have no grampy, or grampy like figure left in this world.
I Love you Hayden, RIP!
