Rest In Peace, old friend. I’ll miss you so much, Max. So tragic.

This guy was like a brother to me. Miss you big time, man.
I can’t believe it’s been exactly a year! I miss Bailey so much! I can’t believe he’s gone. Now Lindsay Stout and Uncle Brian too. Awful. Just awful. :-(
On the upside, this day last year, other than having Bailey pass away and receiving the news, was actually a really good day. … - What makes today (this year) worse is, one of the two people I spent this day with last year, is also dead and gone (Lindsay Stout). I miss her so incredibly much. Last year was the best summer of my life and soooooo much of it had to do with Lindsay. She was one of the greatest people that I have ever met. This past year has been pretty unkind…. Except getting Richie. I love him. We’ve definitely already had more than our fair share of trials.
Don’t “want” - DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is me, wanting to do things, but not doing them. I need to start to be a DOer! Right now I am not “doing” because I am house sitting and don’t have any of my stuff here.
I need to stop making excuses. :-(
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 500 Days of Summer
I wanna start off by saying that I am sorry to all my readers. I have been neglecting my blog therefore have been also been neglecting you (my reader) as well! I’ve been up and down this entire summer and now that it has come to an end, I will probably be writing here more! I started the summer with an amazing training regiment (cycling & diet) that consisted of constant cycling in the mornings followed by an easy commute to work. I would normally log in roughly 30-50 miles a day and maybe try to get an easy city cruise in on the evenings. My summer started off well until the unexpected happened! Yes that’s right I met a girl, unfortunately there are no words to describe how I felt about her except for if you were fortunate enough to have met her with me, your immediate thoughts would have been “I get it”. Many of you that know me, know that I’m kind of an arse towards women and pay them no mind/attention but this girl (let’s call her “summer”), summer and I “clicked”…(If your familiar with the movie, I’ll tell you now that this story pretty much has it’s similarities with the movie). I met Summer at a Tuesday bike night (tarck tuesdays) gathering and she was one of the very few girls that was into “tarcking”. At first she was just another girl on a bike in my eyes but after seeing and chatting up with her a few more tarck tuesday nights, I had thought to myself there could be more to this girl so I think I’ll try to dip my toe into the water. It wasn’t really until a Friday night bike ride (Cmass) is when I thought I would give this a shot. In the beginning of the ride I was pretty much chill but was trying to strategize a way to try to get to know her more (hit me up for more info). But to make a long story short, I get a text from Summer later on that evening asking why I didn’t hang out with the rest of our group? (right then I knew I had a shot) The next 3 day’s went by fast as we were texting and hanging out quite frequently. It was fun and exciting but on the third day is when I attempted to kiss her and boy was it worth it! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect (no homo). We spent many nights together but also many nights separated (her call not mine). So throughout the rest of the summer (july and august) we had many ups and some downs mostly due to her fickleness and constant inconsistent feelings, I for some stupid reason didn’t want to give up! I’m not one to give up easily unless the other party gives up (which unfortunately was yesterday). Sorry I have to stop. Call if you want the rest/more in depth of the story or I may continue this at a later date.
p.s. we never dated 0 comments
SUUUUUUUCH a good song. I love you Lindsay Stout. Please don’t make this song relevant to you… (meaning, WAKE UP and be OKAY!!!)
I just came to say I love you and see if you would be needing anything.
To say thank you and how grateful I am for everything you taught me.
It’s those long talks I won’t forget.
Just to see you smile, it brings me right to them.
So I’ll sit here now and hold your hand.
It’s these few long hours that make me what I am.
We laugh about the times,
We laughed so hard until we fell asleep this evening.
And then I watch you there alone, in fear, wishing I could speed your breathing.
And all the wind blows through the trees.
I swear they’re angels talking back to me.
And I scream please don’t leave me here tonight.
I need you now, I need you in my life.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming back again.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming back again.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming back again.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming back again.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming, you’re never coming back.
But you’re gone and you’re never coming back again.
Man, I wish I were there too!! I ended up being really productive and ran a bunch of needed errands on Friday, instead of falafel (which no one else was able to do, hence why I skipped it). But yes, I am so excited to be neighbors in just a few days!!! :-D
I went to the Jorts party on Friday night. That was a lot of fun! Missed you at it!
Clearly I am substituting texting you while on my dog walks with emailing you. Haha. Okaaaayyy, talk to you later, have a fantastic day!!!!
Love you!
Love,
Jackie
