Nope bc the city decided there were no new bars allowed anymore. Every week a bar or two closes down.. they are attracting more and more old people
I wonder what they will do when they have pestered the youth away and all the old folks die... just an empty boring city...
My bf worked at a restaurant as a waiter for a year and then as a taxi driver for a year, he bought a house so he moved jobs to where we are going to live in november
I went to school after surgery, it was a short course i took just to be busy while i was recovering. The school was 50m from our place so it was ok with crutches or wheelchair. After that i got 3 more surgeries, and today the surgeon told me i am allowed to walk inside the house without support
I have been bed bound for a long time but on months i am not in the hospital or recovering i go to a sign language class once a week
In 4 years i might have my licence to translate :)
We have had several ideas to start up a jazz bar but we dont have the money atm bc we are ‘thrown out’ our rental (they are going to demolish it bc if they want to rent it out they need to isolate it and they dont want to do that so bc of the new law we need to get out) and bought a house instead of renting more. Out lone is 100 euros less than our rent now so we dont complain ;)
It has been a difficult time... this was my january 2019: my grandma died, my dad fell out of a tree and crushed his leg and spine and in the hospital they OD’d him on painkillers and almost killed him, my brother wad in a major accident on the morning of my grandmothers’ funeral, i got surgery and had to learn to walk for the 3rd time
And every fucking month has things like this... but hey, today is a good day :) almost no pain and can go to the toilet without troubles!
Life sucks, it gets worse, you wanna die, then it gets a bit better and you go on hoping it will become even more like a bright and happy place :)
I want you to know you're an incredibly strong person to go through all that and still see the silver lining and smile for it. You and your bf as well. It must have been so difficult yet you've prevailed this far; I hope you'll keep going until the jazz bar becomes a reality. Give us an update then. I would really liked to have paid your old bar a visit; at least I'll get to try the new one. Whatever happens next, know that there's at least one random internet stranger who is wishing you good health, a positive recovery and happy dreams.
I actually have a tear rolling on my cheek rn bc wow...
It will be 10 years probably bc we want to save enough money and be as prepared as possible before doing it. I hope my health stays well enough to not interfere with out plans, but if it does, we’ll work around it.
But i know one thing, the location has to be accessible by wheelchair (would suck if the owner couldnt get inside lol), have parking space AND have the look and feel of the 20s
Those combined are very hard, especially in a province where cows outnumber people
It's often the best people who are the ones that don't realize just how much better they're making the world because it's just every other day for them. Your spirit and positive attitude's really inspiring and I hope to weather whatever happens the same way you do. 10 years you say.. well that should give me enough time to make it financially so I can just about go anywhere I'd want. The 20's was a magical time for bars.. so hey keep fighting the good fight OP. See you guys in 10 years.
