!!!MASSIVE!!!

Guess I haven't blogged in a while...
I've been too tired and busy to post anything. Work, and life, it's just been all so... ugh. So busy. All of my energy is spent. Trying to figure things out, to set up long-term events and motions, to even maintain my current pace. It's almost overwhelming.
I have a few days of posting to jot down here. I think I'll just back-track, and work backwards, starting with today.

Tomorrow I have plans. I have to go with my mums friend Craig to my grandmas house, and salvage some furniture. My grandparents have sold their place, and will me moving south near Calgary, in the western foothills. I'll be picking up a single bed, a coffee table, a T.V. and stand, and a few other things. Just the two of us guys will have to manage all this stuff, and bring it home, and make room for it all. Quite a task, to be honest.
Some of the furniture will be set aside for Jamie, for whenever she moves out. The bed will go into the girls' room for now, and everything else... will be crammed into our dining room.
I'm sad that my grandparents, a stable anchor in my life, are moving on. But... I'm also glad that they have some dreams left to fulfill, and this move will make them happy. Good for them, I suppose. Just a half a day of highway travel to visit them now.
I guess all of their stuff is being 'donated' to family and close friends.

Today.
Well, I took today off. It's an earned day off for Sherritt employees, so it's kind of an optional day for us contractors to come in. I usually try to take these days off. I worked a bit of overtime on Thursday, to make up for it. After a day of cleaning up and disposing of toxic bird wastes on my own, I stayed late to help pump out sand slurry from a River Well pump house at work. The only bad thing was that I had to cancel an after-work date with Jamie to go buy tacos. Meh, I wrote her a note, and we'll just go some other time. Nothing serious.
This weeks been killer hot, which is okay, but man, I'm left tired and spent after my daily shower is complete. I sit there in my towels, barely able to move. It's hard.
Today, my 'day off', I slept in. I did, and had lots of crazy dreams. A few nightmares, some sex dreams... mostly just odd tidbits of incomplete dreams though. Very weird and random.
Waking up to Tony and his girlfriend in the next room over, tickle-fighting and/or having sex. Noisy. I chatted with them through the wall, and learned they both had the whole day off, and would stay here at home together with each other. Awww.... :3
Good big brother I am for not busting them.
Today Kim also made me chop some wood for her. Lately she's been getting me to do more 'manly' chores for her, like cutting the grass, chopping wood, doing garbages and other random things. I think she likes watching men work, I really do.
Samantha is going through boyfriend issues, and me, well, her and I have a unique relationship. I'm like her older sister, since I can listen to her without judging her, I have opinions and advice, and I can talk openly with her. Sam is great, although she makes a lot of stupid decisions about her lifestyle. We got to talking about sex stuff again, and started having some important talks, when...
...Shawn and Jamie walk in from her day of appliance shopping. Sams and mine conversation was stopped dead in it's track then and there. :3
Shawn spent today with Jamie, shopping for things for her future place. Jamie just looks radiant with excitement about her future place. I think she'll do great. I know she's mature and responsible.
Shawn seemed a little upset today, so I don't know what's going on... I did know that he was upset when brother Chris came by today. For some reason, Chris hates Shawn, and Shawn, well, he doesn't like that, and seems to dislike Chris back in return. Maybe that's bugging him.
Shawn stayed for a little bit, then left for home.
I got to look at all the things she bought, then was conscripted into taking her things up to her room for her. [Sigh...] Being a man sucks... ^_^
Oh, oh, oh... I went shopping with Chris today too. He needed to go look at bikes and computer chairs. He really wanted Jamie to come, but she had plans with Shawn, so he reluctantly (reluctantly?...) went shopping with ME... Sorry Chris, I'm just a mediocre shopping partner I guess!
After wandering WalMart, we went in to Canadian Tire, then settled for Staples, the business store. He never did buy a bike, but he DID buy a new computer chair (I love it by the way) and a game. I drove him home to drop him off, and briefly talked with his dad John for a bit, before leaving to buy Laurie and me some booze-a-hol for tonight. I bought a 24 pack of beer for me and Kim, and for Laurie and me, a large bottle of Amaretto and some Coke. I'm a little disappointed in mum, 'cuz I had planned to take her out with me for a pub crawl tonight. So we could talk and stuff.
Instead, she stayed at home, and we did get some private time together.
Once Laurie went to bed, Jamie stayed up for a bit, and vented/talked with me. We discussed a lot of things: her moving out, my own goals and ambitions, hers, people in our lives, the fact that she may be a scaffolder very very soon, a whole lot of things. For the past four or five days, she's been upbeat and talkative, and even relaxed around me. I know that I had accidentally made things awkward between the two of us, but I'm glad she knows that I love her, and will continue to be her supportive friend from the side-lines. That's more than I could have ever hoped for.
Earlier today, when Chris first came over, Jamie whipped out two old photo albums of her family side, and we all reminisced about the past. I never really seen those pictures before, so I considered it a real treat that she sat beside me and showed those old photos to Chris and me. For a moment, I felt like I belonged in her family in the 'inner circle' part of it. I can't believe how blond Richard was, or how small Sam and Chris were. One phote of Chris and Jamie proved how much they used to look like twins. Wow.

I am fending off online friends right now, who want to RP. I barely have energy to blog, but I HAVE to. I have days worth of info to post down. I told them all to wait. I still have three-week-old forum RP posts to reply to.

Yesterday... Oh yeah, besides missing out on a taco date and working late, not much happened (that I can recall at this moment...).

Luckily, for the day before, I had blogged at work, on a napkin. I shall transcribe all the important stuff here for your viewing pleasure.
The day started off rough, but more or less, I had a good day. I've been really busy with life and work, so my energy reserves are naturally low from it all.
It was super sunny and warm that day, but luckily, I was working with lots of AC. See, I'm currently on a project to remove lab equipment and furnishings from a lab at Sherritt, that is being relocated for a future upgrade. We have moved a LOT of furniture, a LOT of it being massive and heavy too. But, working with the air conditioning in a positive air pressure lab all day long... Hey, it was nice. I told Jamie about it, and she got kind of jealous, her working in the hot sun all day long. She playfully ka-schmucked me on the back of the head! ^_^
After a long day of work, the two of us came home, really quickly came home, so Jamie could get her wallet. We both needed to go to our banks, so we did. Jamie did her thing, then I cashed my advance, and got my $600 rent money for next month already. Sweet!
She asked me to take her to Taco Bell, and, of course, I said alright. Again, we had some long talks about important things in our lives, people, career, goals... I noted down on my paper towel here that I am glad that she seems really happy to be able to talk with me again on such a level. I think it's great to chat with her, but a lot of the things she tells me I have to censor, so I am unable to post a lot of details except some random vaguarities that might slip into my blog. No details folks.
At home, I was commissioned to BBQ some steaks, before the storm hit. The clouds from a long, hot, scorching day had produced wonderful storm clouds in our sky, some with that grayish-green tornado tinge to them. I BBQ-d, and Harding was over, so he helped. It began to rain on us, while I cooked! O_o
I enjoyed the wicked lightning show, and we all went inside to dine, on my fabulous medium-rare steaks. Sorry mom! I know you hate pink meat!
Shawn hung out with Jamie, until she got tired, then she retreated into her computer. So Shawn came down to visit ME, which is rare. I was just playing a bit of WoW at the time, which is currently rare as well, since I've lost a lot of interest in the game. He talked for a bit and laid down in my bed, which is fine. I like company now and then too.
Later on Steph and I went to 7-11 for a few things. Well, inside the store, she asked me to buy some porn. Well, why not? Bought a harmless Playboy with our stuff, along with a sweet tattoo magazine, then went home. Well, we read it together on the couch, mum on the other one, and both of us were sorely disappointed. No real erotic stories, maybe two/three pages of clumsy nudity. Blue eyed blondes, not my style.
What else happened that day?... Oh yes, an online artist drew a few more pics for me. I am in the stages of buying a few more mangas for her, so she can create an extra pic and finish her rough sample and transform it into a wonderful coloured sketch for me. I love knowing artists!

So, kinda caught up for now. I have to call my massuese and figure out what kind of training I might need to become one. More importantly, where to take my courses.
I have a few dreams I'd like to post about. Really freaky ones, some erotic ones, but all dreams. Not tonight. I posted long enough tonight.

Night people. It's almost midnight, and the house is scorching hot. See you later! ^_^
