been a while since i graced, or invaded rather, these pages.

Tom Waits, Mule Variations on for reference, and to set the tone, perhaps, of this latest foray into the baring of my alleged soul.

a lot going on, some good, some not so good, and some, well, the jury, proverbial or not, is still out.

in the process of packing up, and moving. to where? well, see comment above re: jury being out. for the time being though, a hotel that will allow me to stop, breathe, refocus on what i know to be important, and then get on with my journey.

but honestly though, as much as moving is a shitty experience usually, this time, well, it is much needed, and part of the complexities of my so called life. sorry, had to use a movie reference in there.

some commodities deals going on in my life at the moment, none of which i am front and center for, but all of which, in a way, i started. that sounds really arrogant, but it’s true. the request came in, i responded the best way i know how. find the people, for the most part, the right people, to take the next steps and do the grunt work. sheesh.. that sounds shitty. sorry. what i meant to say was this;

i got asked if i could find a particular commodity. gold in this case. i gave my usual response that being ‘sure’. didn’t know if i could or not, but i never go into something thinking that i can’t do it, so…

anyhow, they are working out, ish, mostly, kinda. been lots of left turns though. and fun fact, Rogers, the mega Telecom in Canada, actually had or still has perhaps, a left turn department. truth, i shit you not.

at any rate, these deals are going on, not without downs, but there have been some good ups too, and we are getting closer to the finish line. hard work done by my partner, a great deal of patience shown, lost, and regained by both of us, and next week should be the pot of gold, no pun intended, at the end of the rainbow.

been looking at homes, condos, etc… again, patience shown by my dear friend Howard, in spending time with me, and putting up with my dithering, my overthinking, my advances and retreats. but, now, well, like the gold deals, the finish line is in sight. although, another destination has reared its MLS head, so perhaps two properties will be on the horizon for yours truly. one never knows with me, does one?

so now, here i sit, Tom still in the background, coffee at hand, the sun still mid-high in the sky, and another weekend staring me in the face. not my favourite pair of days, Saturday and Sunday, may have mentioned that before, although, and this is something you may need to sit down for… they might be, once things change. they just might become a day to spend with friends, loved ones, travelling to a city that i just want to have dinner in, or breakfast, and then go home, and begin my week. again, one never knows, do one.

but for now, well, in a word, weekends suck. 🙂

going to go for a long walk tomorrow. haven’t really been out lately, and i need to stretch my legs, both literally and figuratively. destination(s) in mind, but let’s see what the day brings. depends a lot on the weather i guess, and how my night went. sleep and i aren’t the best of friends of late, however tonight may turn out to be different. never know.

anyhow, i will let you go for now, and as Tom is singing, you gotta come on up to the house.. words to be spoken to friends one day soon i hope…

in the meantime, as always, i hope you and yours are not in any areas of conflict and are safe and healthy.

and, as always, i bid you,

peace.
