It was a sweet day of goodbyes as many friends and Hulkies came to the club to see me one last time. And for every sweet goodbye I got I had yet another reason why not to go to Canada.
I hate goodbyes.
Some of my members had written me letters and it was incredibly hard to not get choked up at their amazingly sweet and sincere gesture. I cracked and broke down a bit when I read one letter in particular.
I'm going to miss our club and our Hulkies. I hope they miss me like I'll miss them because they bring such incredible joy and happiness into my life. I feel like I have a place here because of them and that means a world of difference in comparision to where I was in my life before Hulk's. But I'm leaving tomorrow and I have to remember that this is a one time opportunity, a chance of a life time to be able to solely focus on me and do my thing.
In addition to many sentimental moments shared with members today I also shared many with Snickers. He kept on reminding me that this was our last time for whatever, like our last time to open the club together, the last time we'd have coffee time together, the last time this and that. He was a hopeless romantic together and even long after the club had closed and I had met up with my friend at Dolce, he came to get me and walk me home because "this was the last time I'll [he'd] be able to walk me back to the club".
And while Snickers was getting all caught up on our "last time" for this and that until the next year, his family was all stressing over the fact that they seriously believe I'll never come back. I won't even comment on that, I shared my sarcastic comments about that at Dolce so I'd rather just leave them there.
Tomorrow I leave.
I spent today teaching Snickers how to make protein shakes, how to print the pictures and where the specific club files are on the computer. And I spent today saying a lot of goodbyes and having the strings of my heart pulled. I'm definitely in need of a lot of hellos at this point because the goodbyes were surely hard to get through.
IN OTHER NEWS... as of 12:45am, I have confirmed an apartment in Toronto!!!
I had seen this attic room online but it was a bit out of my price range and then I saw a basement apartment that was in my price range but hadn't actually seen the pictures for. Both had great locations but the location of the basement one kicked butt. One problem, the one roommate I'd be living with is b-r-u-t-a-l for responding to emails, to the point where I admitted I felt like I was getting too much on her case. I want to move in on Sunday but she wants to Skype, not too sure when though but maybe if she'd respond to my emails I'd know. Anyways, I'm kind of like a Craigslist ad stalker now that I'm desperate for an apartment and tonight I just randomly clicked on it and the first ad that popped up was EXACTLY what I was looking for -- attic room, one roommate, definitely in my price range, and at the location I want. Called the lady up and it's a done deal. I was so excited at her agreeing to let me rent it that I blurted out in giggles "I haven't even met you but I already love you!" Tomorrow I'll be visiting her after I arrive in Canada so that I can meet her and give her my first and last month's rent... how awesome is that?! Pretty awesome. So awesome in fact that I broke out into a happy dance at the steps of my club and couldn't stop hugging my friend.
