and welcome to my first full-day of this stay-at-home vacation :)
...it's gonna be an absolutely beautiful week in the 80s & 90s temp-wise (Helsyeh!)

no huge plans beyond getting eye exam/glasses at AB in BC monday & heading to UMN tuesday to get my youngest her passport for next year's *BIG* europe trip!

personally, I've been alright - every once-an-occasion reminder of fathre's death...

there - for the next ~211hrs or so, I am officially on vacation :) no, no travelling ( unless you count into BC or UMN area for part of next week ;) ), just a hopefully relaxing week+ with no worries or expectations ( sans aforementioned couple o'plans )

sorry to disappoint, but, no, I ain't no hollaback girl, no, I ain't no hollaback... and, yes, my my shit is... ;)

dreamage :: tour flight to [somewhere], get 'stuck' at airport w/ no proof, itinerary, etc because tour group picked it up already - days at airport holding until they get ahold of tour ("oh, yeah, we have their stuff & appears they didn't use any rooms"), but it's last day :(

I am the man who, if able, will be there
there to support, there to uphold, there to care
a friendly shoulder or shoulder to cry upon, in equal measure
years gone by, I did this often - and loved doing it, for my friends & their friends
harder now, with fewer old friends local, to be there

no, I may not have always understood...

it's saddening how offended people get now by the term 'colourblind' - they start gettin' all PO'd & ranting until I'm "DUDE, *I* should be the one PO'd, I ACTUALLY, quite literally *CAN'T* see colours, jackhole!" ...and even THEN sometimes you get 'whatever' *growls/sighs*

Nice t'have cool neighbours - just spent 4hrs w/ a neighbour & his bro-in-law bs'ing as they bbq'd, had a couple beers, & just enjoying a semi-decent day before it got too cool outside :)

hearing someone(s) say they respect your opinion, even if they don't agree or hearing someone(s) say they have trust in you are amazing things to hear, things that go to heart, mind, & soul - hearing them, more than once, from multiple people, in the same week ...thanks to all !

Wake up w/ that thought, 'hey, haven't talked to fathre in awhile, should give a call after work,' which segues into rememrance that I won't be talking to fathre for quite awhile...

get home from 'Bees and there's a neighbour passed out in front of their door... at least, I assume they're passed out, they could be dead *shrugs* who am I go judge ? gonna crash soon :)

When did taking a 'middle stance' & listening to both sides of a situation become worse than taking the extreme POV ?
When did not taking someone's extreme stance mean that you automatically must be on the "other side" extreme than theirs ?
*sighs*

I'm reminded of how the '80s was dubbed "the Era of Excess"
...when people were buying anything & everything, even if...
