Weekend wasn\u2019t great, for obvious reasons, but I did manage to keep busy, despite the pain in my foot and in my heart. Went to Penticton Saturday to <em>Peachfest<\/em> with Sylvie, and to see my band \u2013 The Salmon Armenians. Although I wanted to stay to see The Powder Blues Band, Sylvie wanted to leave, so we started looking for somewhere to eat. With <em>Peachfest<\/em> on everywhere was crazy busy, with at least a forty-five minute wait, so we headed off to Peachland, and had a great meal at The Gasthaus. Sylvie bought dinner, which was a bonus and a really unusual experience for me, cause all I ever do is pay. We sat down on the beach after dinner and talked relationships, which was strange with an ex, but helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday I got an email from Lorraine in the ski club asking if there was a hike today, but with my foot hiking isn\u2019t possible, so we went up to the Kettle Valley Railroad to bike. I had been up there to bike the actual trestle bed, but never the new bypass. Don\u2019t bother. It\u2019s a long hill climb and just a logging road through the bush. No real scenery and nothing special. Better to ride the rail-bed.<\/p>\n<p>Came home to BBQ a steak and relax and ice my foot. Got a call and had an very unpleasant argument with you know who. It ended with me hanging up, which I never do, when she had the nerve to suggest I didn\u2019t care. After almost eight months of showing her in every way possible just how much I did care, waiting patiently for her to respond even a little, and trying desperately to understand how cold she could be with me, this was the final insult. She professes to not be a cruel person, but to even suggest I don\u2019t care after what I have done these past few months is unbelievably cruel. Another knife cut. I am getting pretty battered and bruised and losing my faith in love, that\u2019s for sure. Finding a good woman to share my life is becoming a fantasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have to keep some balance here.
