well....its august 2018.

I am still healing up from my drop from a trailer onto the concrete, (breaking 7 ribs, the bottom 4 were broken in 4 places each.) at least I'm back at work, too early the doc says, but the phone was ringing off the hook, and it took me a long time to get these contracts. Right shoulder is giving me grief, and my neck as well. Ribs are pretty good as long as I don't overdo it...then I have to take morphine to get by.

the Pete has 150 hours on the engine, runs like a top. It looks great even with the shitty paint job I gave it. The best part of my job is driving to and from work. Right now, work is mainly BA Blacktop, and Augusta Recyclers, with a few side jobs, like a boat for our local butcher, and some work for Sunshine Disposal. No more lowbedding at the moment, it's pretty slow with the fire season being extended this year. That's ok, I have more than enough wrenching to do. Plus I wasn't being paid for the hours I was putting in for Brad, he owed like 7 grand last count.

so I sent Viv a message thsat she could reach me when she decides she waants a physical relationship, and meanwhile lets get this pillow exchange happening. she called a short time later to say meet in new west at 8. I was over picking up the BMW X3 that I bought in PoCo and with my time management skills I made it there by 9. We went into Begbies and had a couple glasses of wine, then to the Hub for Calimari and a pulled pork. Had the sit dowqn discussion that we should have had weeks ago. She still gets pretty angry when she says I lied to her face under her roof. She wasnt very comforrtable at the start, but at the end she had warmed up considerably and held me for a long time, even cried, but wouldnt kiss me. Then today, no word again, no answer to my texts. After last night I had hope. She said thats why she was totally sileent, because she didnt want to give ,me hope, She was done. I am sure she is NOT done.

I am on the last ferry of the day, heading home. (This morning I was on the FIRST ferry heading into Van) 24 hours is a long day, but I still enjoy it. I have met some great people through this job. My H D Mechanical repair and welding business is starting to really take off... Powell River is the best place for us. I sure love it here.

I got my second chance and will not need another

So.....its been a week. I am back with Vivian, I am focused, transparent, trying my best to be completely honest, and I am more in love than ever. when I was in Powell River, she called to say she wanted to talk. She didnt go into it, and I was pretty sure she was going to stick to her decision to be apart. I shut down a couple days ahead of my boat project, just so I could be back in town to meet the agreed upon communication. She told me she was "open" to a relationship. provided the environment was healthy, and honest. I had already begun an online course, and some self help counselling, and I gave my word that I would do everything in my power to not repeat my shortcomings. It has been 5 days, and she has warmed up so much. SO much. I am totally in love again, it is like she never gone. I did, however, call Mel, Rita, Kim, and Rachel, with Vivian sitting there, and on speakerphone, I cut myself off from them all. The night after, i got emails from all, telling me how...
