Thank you courts...
For accepting my petition!!! I'm so pleased that I'm one step closer to fully recognized legal custody and to drawing a line under this dark chapter. Better and brighter things ahead!
Now if I could only get my focus back and plow through all this work that is piling up.
My sister's little Charlotte turned one yesterday. What a tough first year she had... but she's a strong little fighter and as healthy as ever now. She's so cute, even more so now that she's walking.
Not long now until the snow arrives. My winter coat search is still fruitless so in the interim I picked up a cheapie one which I'm sure I'll just end up keeping forever and ever... better than being cold!!!!!

Anyone with any doubts...
even in the slightest about having a child with someone or getting married should seriously spend a few hours down at the local court house. Honestly, the service that I've had from my local court is fantastic but the harsh reality of everyone's situations that are there is really shocking. The family court section has a very good lesson to offer to people in the reality of the consequence of it all when it doesn't go right. Not that you can live your whole life in fear of 'what if this all goes wrong' but It's a good reality check as to if you're not certain about it then to really seriously think it through as when it all goes wrong, it's a long an complicated process both administratively, financially and emotionally. It's been difficult for me but I can't imagine how much worse it is for a lot of the people whom I saw dealing with much more complicated situations ...

Entry 976
Wow we're nearly at 1000 blog entries. It's been many many years since I've started writing. I don't know if I'm stubborn or actually enjoy keeping up this blog. There aren't too many folks out that who've been at it for so long. I'm far from being the most archaic but still it's been a long time folks.
We've been spared large snowfalls as of yet here in Canadialadia. I'm still of course missing Barcelona with every fibre of my being but I'm banking on the feeling dissipating. Finding a winter jacket to buy that is a simple long black coat would be a nice thing... however proving to be ever-elusive. Surely it's not that big of a brief!!!
Minor achievement but I've managed to nearly finish all my 5 induction classes at my new gym. Of course it's all geared up for the hard sell of personal training and nutritional consulting but sadly after having your savings or lack there of used in many various ways without my consent and moving your life across the Atlantic, it's not hard to imagine not having money for such things... But i'm happy to be able to enjoy the spirit and mind lifting benefits of gym induced endorphins.
On the other hand I'm dreaming of sandy beaches and tranquility... a reward to look forward too after all this transition and hard work. For now I would just settle for a nice glass of 'real' red wine over a delicious meal with some good company. The latter however more achievable it may seem is still a few good weeks away yet... Time... I'm kicking your ass and getting closer.
