It can only get better

I know its been a long time since my last post but I have been super busy. I'm trying to wean myself off the car. Last week I had the luxury of having it again for my second week in Moncton because DH took the week off and said I might as well take it with me. That was all well and fine until some guy ploughed me at an intersection and totalled it. If I could get the pics off my phone I would post the damage. There is no fixing this thing. So I had to get really good at being without a car really fast. Frankly if I don't have to drive again any time soon I'd be ok with that. But I had no choice. The very next day I had to rent a car and drive home on Thursday evening because I had an early appointment Friday morning.
I just got back to my apartment because its Sunday night now. I'll return the rental after school Monday. Maybe I can find a cheap bike. I have a bike at home but its too nice to bring here and have it weather the elements. If I had a cheap one to chain up outside I would not care if it got rained on.
Drives home are not going to be difficult since there are two other girls in my class who make the trip so I'm ok there. Its the day to day, back and forth to school that will be difficult. The bus gets me there too late so perhaps an earlier bus is in order. Things like this you can't learn until you do them and figure out the best way.

I experienced my first drawback to apartment living Wednesday morning. No class so I was sleeping late only to be woken up by a domestic dispute. Yeah every apartment has them. Its inevitable. I called the landlord and when it got nasty I called the cops. I had to give a statement of what I heard and the whole bit. I'm told that this is not the first time and I'm not surprised. I can guarantee that it won't be the last. People like that never change. This happened on the same day as my car crash so Wednesday really blew as days go.

I can say with great surety that this week will be better because it surely can't get any shittier than this. Why am I being tested so much? Don't the gods know that I'm going through enough here? Lets just pile on more crap and see if she cracks. Did she survive that? Let's see what else we can throw at her.

I've never been happier to be home. It was Harvest Jazz and Blues week. I got together with friends and we walked around downtown taking in the free events and drinking / eating at a couple of bars. I'm so thankful to have a mature, responsible boy who does not mind being home alone while his parents go out. This is definitely a nice new era in parenting that I'm going to enjoy. It was one of those nights that you as a couple hook up with another couple, then one more person joins and then 3 others join. It was fun, relaxing and no set plan and we had a ball. What a great way to unwind. I love the Harvest Jazz and Blues festival. Someday I'm going to buy a ticket. But really the free stuff is just as nice. Some of those singers singing for free are really good.

This seems like a good time to hit the books a little bit more before hitting the sack. Wish me luck; the good kind.
