Daily Thought.

 

Rugs& Uggs.

This morning when I woke up it was a cold 1C and then dropped down to 0C! I now have to wear my Rasta hoodie(AKA "Drug Rug") and Ugg boots( shown here)Rugs& Uggs, but it's supposed to go up to 14 C this afternoon and be sunny so hopefully after being stuck indoors for days I can finally go back outside and the next few days a warm front is also coming thru making it go up to as high as 20 C! Yay!!  Tomorrow is also the 29 YR old's birthday and he turns 30 and he says something bad always happens on his birthday too but hopefully it won't this year and I got more photos of the nice leaves changing colours on the trees( shown below) before they all fall off and blow away leaving the trees naked which my hubby calls Tree Porn. We also now have shorter daylight now, and colder nights and yesterday I even saw 2 *Christmas* commercials on TV,too! I also heard an ad for a job that said you must "have a love of people" and I said, "Well, that leaves me out!" 

Aaahhhhhh!!!!

Yesterday I also felt cold all day and kept shivering and couldn't get warm no matter what I did until I finally put on my nice snug warm Oodie I don't normally wear until winter,and it's also time for the scented candles and I had saved some of the left-over turkey from Thanksgiving for my lunch yesterday as well and I couldn't find it and looked all over in the fridge and it was gone; it turned out the 29 YR old ate it( it figures) and this morning they also announced on the radio they're putting our municipal water rates up by 16% starting in January and then doubling it in the next 10 years! Holy f*ck! As if we don't already pay enough and life isn't already unaffordable! Buddy's underbelly also now always smells like pee and it's just soooo gross! One of my hubby's co-workers also was in China for a month visiting family and she brought everyone back little gifts I thought was nice and we got fridge magnets(I just happen to collect from my world travels!) and a sheer scarf with a dragonfly on it I thought was thoughtful and sweet.

Someone online also suggested to anyone planning on moving to this shithole to "Take anti-depressents with them" (ha, ha!) and one of the guys in One Direction died falling off a balcony and they suspect suicide and I remember when the 21 and 23 YR olds were little they were such big fans( God knows why!) and I think (if I remember correctly)they may have even seen them in concert,  and yesterday it was just Buddy and I home alone as my hubby was in Toronto and the 29 YR old at work and the 17 YR old doing his volunteer work and it was just so nice and quiet and peaceful and my hubby says that him and the rest of them( other than my mother and I, that is) are "having Christmas in February" when the out-of-town/out-of-province kids have more time off and he's going up to visit and of course no one invited me but I'd have a much better time here anyway where it's nice and quiet instead of being someplace I know I'm not wanted or welcome but my mother and I are still having ours here the usual time with or without them.

A happy life is our goal for our children, and it doesn’t always include us.-Leila

 

Wordless Wednesday.

 

Today's Chuckle.

 

PB&J.

Look what I got! Peanut butter & grape jelly sammich pockets and  chocolate hazelnut ( like Nutella) sammich pockets! Eeeeee!! They're frozen and you take them out and defrost it for 30 min. and then....yummm!! They're sooo good and the perfect breakfast or little snack! In Europe PB&J (the peanut butter part) is a foreign concept most people would find gross actually but I love it!(just NOT strawberry jam though because I hate berries!) Eating definitely is one of life's greatest pleasures, no doubt! It's still cold with today only a high of 9 C but then supposed to warm up to 15C to 20C starting tomorrow to next Tuesday so I can get back outside and now I'm only out to smoke weed and yesterday as I sat out hitting the bong it was doing something wet out but it was heavier than rain...dare I say it was probably even wet snow and then when a ray of sun peeked out and shone on me momentarily and warmed my face it was just  absolutely glorious! My hubby's also in Toronto for work today and his boss joked if him and his work friend (he has a sort of Bro-mance with)will be "having a lunch date" and when he told me I said, So, are you?and he said they are; they're going to Swiss Chalet together for lunch.HA!

Today the oldest also turns 35( which makes me feel really old!) and in just 2 more days #5 turns 30 as well, and the birth rate in this shithole is the lowest ever now they said as well but at least I did MY part having 11 kids and the cost of living is just so high now and everything is so expensive people can hardly even afford to live nowadays so they can't afford to have kids anymore,  and I used to listen to acid rock and rock acid-washed jeans but now I just have acid reflux and it used to be Sex,drugs, and Rock & Roll but now  I'm old it's just drugs and Rock& Roll for me and now the almost 30-YR old told me the inside trade secrets of singing it sort of ruined the "magic" for me,too, just like when I went to Universal Studios in California and saw all the tricks behind the  movie scenes and how everything is just a facade and an illusion, or like the first time flying and you see clouds aren't actually really  "fluffy" but just look like fog or steam up close, or when you find out that Santa isn't real.

It also wouldn't surprise me if the CIA or Mossad assassinates Trump ( esp. since Biden "warned" Iran if they did it "means war", sort of like he's giving someone the "Go ahead" and setting it up) as an excuse to blame Iran for it (Iran doesn't have to do anything; the American gun-nuts are already trying)as an excuse to start WWIII.

Remember Archduke Ferdinand in WWI?

I still laugh remembering too in Kindergarten my older cousin telling me 10x10=100 and  me going around telling everyone  my new-found knowledge and they didn't believe me and said "No, it's not; it's 20!" so I told them to go ask the teacher  if they didn't believe me and when they found out I was right everyone thought I was some sort of genius,ha,ha, but then I also believed my cousin when he told me he made up the word fart, so there's also that,too.

 I also think it was God protecting me from myself all along when my original plans fell thru during my life: I originally planned on studying at the university in Cairo after highschool but abandoned it as when the time came unrest(terrorism, war, etc) started brewing in the Middle East plus later when I DID eventually get to go to Egypt I didn't end up liking it, so I would have been miserable living there for 3-4 years and then I planned on going back to Russia to live and get married and have kids after college but then the gov't changed and the Soviet era fell so I didn't but it worked out as now with the Ukraine war my boys might have ended up conscripted for war, and I had arranged to stay at an ashram in India a few years back too but had to cancel for my gallbladder surgery and maybe it WAS for the best as I hear women often get raped there and me travelling solo would be more at risk although I doubt at my age and with my looks I'd really have to worry too much about being raped, and we moved to L.A but had to return due to the crime and maybe it was God foreseeing the wildfires years later to come He knew were ahead but I didnt?

He always knows what's best for us even if we don't see it at the time.

Wednesday Words.

Non-violence is usually the best way and yet sometimes.....

I'm complicated.

Even if they are family.

Except God. God does.

I laughed more than I should have at this for some reason.

Ooops! Forgot some!

Pooper scooper? Ewwww!!!!

Says WHO?

Every day.

My hubby! I don't care as long as I get to eat.
