My new ride and other updates...

Here is where I have spent the majority of the last month...more specifically, I was researching cars, visiting dealerships, test-driving, dealing with insurance companies and on and on. I don't recommend the processes involved in a) being rear-ended by jerk-offs who don't have Ontario insurance (yup, you guessed it, I did indeed get hit with the $500 deductible...making the piddly amount they gave me for my old car $500 MORE piddly!) or b) buying a new car. Don't get me wrong, HAVING the new car is great but going through all the blah-blah-blah to get it and at a reasonble price is exhausting! Luckily my bro, the salesman, helped and I left feeling like I didn't get too badly screwed over...which is, I believe, the best I could have done! But after all that, isn't she CUTE?! :oD
With everything going on, I haven't felt much like posting...I've had some pretty down times lately. Major life changes have been happening and it's still sometimes hard to wrap my head around the fact that J is not the person I share those with anymore. I'm also working on coming to terms with the realities of our 15-year relationship versus my perceptions/dreams/expectations (read delusions!)...I've made an appointment to get some help with this as I don't think I can navigate it on my own.
Add to that a new-ish relationship...yes, you read that right! I have previously not mentioned it on here because of the possibility that the ex (or the g/f) might stop by but I have recently realised 1) they couldn't be bothered and 2) I really don't care anymore if they do. So, yes, I gots me a boyfriend (although that term sucks...makes me feel like I'm in the seventh grade again but since I don't like "lover" either, b/f it is, I guess!)! He is not new to me except in this specific capacity...and so far, so good. It's been tough on him dealing with all my ups and downs and he's been as suppostive as possible...he was also really great about helping me through all the accident/car-buying stuff.
So yeah...lots new around the Place of Moonspells! The good, the bad and the scary...this life sure is one big rollercoaster ride...to say the least!
Anyway, hope you are all doing well and I'll try to pop around more...I miss you guys (I have been lurking, just haven't been posting or commenting)...
