Moved, again LOL :)

Hey it's already October (2010). I lived at Mapleton for 6 1/2 months and now moved to Loggers Run. Hopefully for the winter.
Kathryn/Bev, Lora, and Kyle and Mandy helped me move!
Erica is also helping me to find work.
Onward!
I laughed when I saw this blog page again because, of course Puddy passed away - she had turquoise/green eyes. Now Comet, the roommates' 5 month old kitten has amber eyes and so do some of the cats in my slideshow! It's comforting to have someone like Puddy around. I was trying to adopt Koka but he's gone to another home. (just an FYI for future).
Well, off to do errands, unpack.
It's amazing what you can fit in a large closet! :)

Thank God For Friends

I await a job offer for not just a job but something I always wanted to try or do. Just talked to a good friend. Heard from another good friend. A friend is also going through tough times and I'm hoping she's ok and worried it will affect me in ways too boring to describe.
In any case, I have an opportunity to make new friends, help people and live my life finally.

One Enchanted Evening

On Monday (April 26th, 2010) I volunteered at Theatre By The Bay. I got to usher Left Pod at the Griffin Theatre.
They had The Jersey Boys and some other talented singers. Colm Wilkinson (I hope I spelt it right) was the headliner from Les Mis, Phantom. I was so busy ushering I didn't realize until he began to sing that I was actually going to finally get to hear and see one of my favourite songs live!
He sang "Music of the Night" and tears rolled down my cheeks. He also sang One Enchanted Evening, Halleluha (Leonard Cohen), and a Country Song.
I had to leave before the last bus left and it was cold, the wind was strong. So, I made it home to Wendy's and I felt good.
There were so many other things. The show was full of surprises, there was a young disabled woman just smiling away and I enjoyed watching her enjoy the music.
When I was in New York I was excited that Phantom was coming to Toronto. When it arrived it was so big I just didn't go, prob couldn't afford it either. I knew of people that saw it 3 times! LOL But, I finally got to see one song live! And I couldn't be happier.
So, I got to go out for a night, a free concert, magical, around people, dashing home after like Cinderella. And yet, I live with a Cinderella too. Wendy and I get along great and I want to work to be able to afford for us both to go out more, to restaurants, to shows, to have a life.
I thought of Allan most of the night, we had recently parted ways, and of course I thought of Lorne. I love them both so much and yet again not able to be together.
Was it someone, or one of them, or family trying to make up for lost time? That's how it felt, like I was given something I missed due to sacrifice.
Anyway, thank you Colm Wilkinson for that. Funny, the first shelter was Wilkie/Wilkinson in Brampton, a nightmare of a place. Was it one of the young men that died? Was is the older man trying to work and sober up, do I have a secret love, did I make a difference in someone's life?
There is a God. And Love.
