TEQUILA SUNRISE
I couldn’t sleep last night, just tossed and turned thinking about all the problems at work. I’m so tired, dead-dog tired -Tylenol PM x 2 tablets really does me in. Knocks me out within minutes, slept like a rock last night but wake up tired.
I stopped by work yesterday visiting with our weekend nurse, she is having a very difficult time learning to become a supervisor to the caregivers–the caregivers are winning by bringing her to tears so stressed out she could hardly get the words out, just shook her head with defeat. Really, there are no winners here, it’s our patients who are losing.
*need to switch gears right here*
I met a new friend last weekend.
I tagged along with baby sister to the University of British Columbia. I school conference about indigenous tribes for her and a mini vacation for me. I soon learned it would be a vast learning experience for me. I was knee deep and spending 72 hours amongst 22 Evergreen College liberalsI mean students. I’m more on the conservative side of things. It was a good experience for me to leave my comfortable shelter and see how other people view things. I have to admit, I did have to hold my tongue on more than one occasion.
I spent much of my time with a beautiful, Native American (Pueblo) women. I was drawn to her immediately. What a forceful spirit she had shinning through her. We sat side by side each other in an official tribal van-our journey had just begun.
Hanging with her was so enriching, what an incredible strong woman. I have met two soul mates in my past and now I have met my 3rd soulmate. We clicked so well together, reading each others minds, feeling comfortable sitting in silence. So Odd for me to feel this way about another woman. I have no long lasting relationships with other females. Sister relationships–yes, but other women as friends has never worked out for me. I don’t know why, guessing somethings in life are left unexplained. The two of us hit Vancouver night life–me trusting her on how to use the bus system, her trusting me on a movie and dinner selection. I choose THE WEDDING CHASERS which by the way was a laughing out loud kind of movie. After the movie we went to a little Mexican restaurant on 4th street, drinking sour margaritias and casadias. The conversation mixed with a little booze came to a pinnacle a pinnacle of truth.
She is Gay
gay Gay,GAY
Yeah, it hit me pretty hard.
she said: “didn’t you notice my ring”
Me:Looking at a rainbow ring on her left hand, “no”
We laughed about it her and I
Acceptance, soul mates,
It’s all good.
We may have different lifestyles,
and come from different places in life
but it really is all good
really
I hope she calls me, I could learn how to be a good friend.
Love the gray dog at the top. Friends. You can never have too many, adn there is never have enough time for the ones you do have.

What an enriching and fascinating weekend – and experience. As for the gay thing – I rarely ‘catch on’. I think instinctively I know it’s none of my business and I could care less what people do in their bedroom – so I don’t even go there. One of my VERY best friends is gay – but we were the best of buddies for two years before it ever occurred to me *G*

The poochie in the top pic looks like he’s having a verrrrrry good dream (if you know what I mean). Sounds like you had an awesome time with your soulmate. Maybe you can reconnect with her later? (But not in that way, ya know?

You did a good thing by nominating Nurse Betty. Her entry was one of the most articulate and common-sense out there. But – there are some rude, crude, low class people on OD. Of course, I don’t see how expressing them that way does their ’cause’ any good? She’s strong – she’ll laugh off the nutcases.

RYN: I know you never meant for all of this to happen. I write for me and sometimes for you guys though. I don’t want every Tom, Dick, and Harry reading my diary, but I don’t think I actually realized that until now. I just hate when people I dont know assume that I am the best at putting my feelings on paper and that what I have written is my gospel. YOu guys know me better than that.

So when random people read one little entry of mine, they freak and leave nasty notes calling me names, which was never my intention at all. I am not a drama queen and don’t thrive on all this attention, but you know that. But you know how some people are, they do so they think I do too. Don’t worry, I am not upset with you though.

Oh my gosh, your dogs are so CUTE! I hope your new friendship flourishes.

I find that true friends are few but extremely precious in my life…Glad you met someone you feel this way about.

Those dogs look pretty relaxed…even human qualities…what a great entry. People can still be friends even though they’re different.
