My World

This is the picture that Shanelle drew of me tonight.. which was then amended (by her) to include speech bubbles capturing my reaction. Click the thumbnail to make it bigger.

Marks out of 10?

Also, the freckle above my lip is nowhere near as big as she makes it out to be.. apparently more ink came out the pen than she was expecting (yeah, right!)

Last Monday’s frenzy of cleaning and tidying wasn’t just cos I was bored or cos it needed doing (although to be fair, it was long overdue).. No, the prime motivator for making the guest room a proper guest room once more (as opposed to a junk and storage room that happens to have a bed in it) was the return of your friend and mine, Mr Shawn Cashin!

He phoned on Sunday to say he was coming home on Thursday (that’d be today then!) so I figured it was time to get this house in order.. and did I ever! I took 4 (count ‘em FOUR!) bags of garbage out, full of stuff I’ve hoarded over the past few years, stuff I don’t need any more, the works. This afternoon I picked up a rental car and hit the airport to pick him up.

First words out of his mouth: “I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life”

Wow. Statement and a half right there eh? Not my story to tell, but the short version is that the trip back to Vancouver was emotional, and he wants to go back to Australia! We’ll see what unfolds, but for now it’s back to having a roomie for a while - fine by me :-)
