My Bodyguard.
This is Beja every time someone comes to our door but yesterday it was a good thing as he kept circling the front door barking so I went to see if someone was there and opened the door and the mail lady was there with the 19 YR old's new passport(you have to sign for) and I said to her, "I'm glad he was barking to let me know because I never heard the doorbell!"(thinking I just didn't hear it) and she sheepishly goes, Oh....yeah....sorry about that.... admitting that she never even rang it(but he just picked up the scent and knew someone was at the door and alerted me, GOOD BOY!!) and was just planning on leaving the note on the door for him to go down to the post office to pick it up like they often do because they're too lazy even though it's their job but she got busted by my dog!
HA!
He's a gut little bodyguard and watchdog!
The 19 YR old also didn't want to keep his passport in the safe(which is also fire-proof) with all the other documents, keeping it safe from getting lost( like how he lost 2-3 of his other documents because he didn't) and the new ones are just sooooo cool now,too, all shiny and holographic and even have one hard page on it like plastic and all biometric and shit. They look really cool now! He also filled out the Emergency Contact part as my hubby( I've always been an non-entity in this family) even though "seasoned" travellers know NOT to actually fill that part out in case you get taken hostage somewhere because that way you've just given the hostage-takers the name and contact info of someone you love they can use as leverage.

This is also Maya, the 12 YR old who was shot in the school shooting back in Feb. and she's been moved out of the ICU into a rehab centre now but it's just so sad that this is how she is now; part of her skull missing,partially paralyzed and blind in one eye and can't speak or eat, esp. since she was once such an active, sporty girl. It just breaks my heart and when you look in her eye you can even see the sadness. She must feel so trapped in her own body. To tell you the truth if it was me I'd much rather be dead. This Shithole is also trying to ban all social media for kids under 16 like Australia did I think is a Fascist Nanny-State thing to do; monitoring/limiting kids' access to social media is up to the parents, NOT the State, and yesterday morning at 5 am I smelled the strong overwhelming stench of skunk that filled my entire room and this morning at 5:30 am I could strongly smell what smelled like someone frying up bacon and I thought it was my hubby.....but no one was even up yet.
It was so weird.
Yesterday I also finished raking up the decomposed wet leaves left on the porch under the snow now it all melted away and my back is just killing me and I also probably inhaled a bunch of toxic fungi, mould, and spores but at least now Beja can't eat crap off the carpet anymore, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow on Good Friday as well and I still remember my mother always saying it rains on Good Friday because God is crying. We also have a flood watch as with all the melted snow and heavy rain the local river is at risk of overflowing.
Have you ever cried because you're you???-Anxiety

Keeper.
Did I tell you how much I LOVE this guy? He's a Keeper. My dogs always love it when I roll them up nice and cozy in a blanket as well and Buddy was a weiner wrap being a Dachshund and Beja is a burrito being a Mexican Chihuahua. He's so funny, cute, and sweet as well: when he's laying down and I approach him he'll roll over onto his back for me to rub his belly.
Our garbage and recycling pick-up was also switched again this week to a day early due to the Good Friday holiday but luckily I heard about it on the radio so I was prepared and sure enough they did do it a day early but only us and 2 other neighbours had it put out but no one else on the street did so they just missed it this week. One of my cousins in Europe is also in Cancun and I've been to Mexico 3 different times,too: in Tijuana, Ensenada, and Cozumel, only it just takes me 4 HRS or so and it takes her over 10 HRS.
Israel has also made this new horrible law where Palestinians kill an Israeli citizen they are executed by hanging within 90 days but if an Israeli kills a Palestinian it's NOT the same....a totally discriminatory Apartheid law the rest of the world is rightfully condemning and Israel just keeps on getting worse and worse and unchecked, like USA. I also saw online a guy said he thought the various tampon sizes were for different sizes of vaginas(instead of what it's actually for: different menstrual flows; light, heavy,etc) and I just about died laughing it was so funny, and I wonder if all guys actually think that?
It's also sad to realize that most likely my childhood friends' and classmates parents are probably all dead now as well just like mine and we're all orphans now and my grandparents were also soooo religious too they went to daily Mass and this Friday is the last Lenten fasting day for another year but it's also fasting fasting too as well as no meat, desserts, chocolate, treats, etc. we also have to eat very little, making it even more challenging, and my hubby taunts me the reason I don't hear well is I blast my music so loud even though the reason I have to turn everything up so loud is to able to hear it because I don't hear so well, although everyone also knows that Rock is supposed to be played loud,too.
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again
Here I go again.-Whitesnake
Wednesday Words.
I just realised how lonely I am. I don’t talk to anybody, text anybody, nobody comes over my place, and I don’t go anywhere. I feel like I’ve cut the whole world off somehow.-T


Does anyone else have the thought of “even if I don't plan to kill myself now, I know I will inevitably die from suicide”?-Ghosty




I'm officially at the age where if I see a chair I'm going to sit down.-Kristen


Being passively suicidal is such an interesting concept because while I would never plan any action to do anything of that nature, it sounds kinda nice to just drift off into sleep and not wake up.-Probably April


“you’re always sleeping”
god forbid a girl wants to be unconscious.-Miia


Do you ever sit with a bunch of people, listening to their conversation and think "I have nothing in common with any of you"-The Wholesome Side Of X







Because that's that I'm used to and always expect.






My family just calls me lazy.









When you’re crazy, that’s all you ever are.
-SYLVIA PLATH

Being 41 is wild, i asked this woman if she has any children and she said no. I pull up her socials she got 4 grown ass kids. i said what's this? she said "you asked if i have children. I don't. I have adults.”-Jett


I’m so tired of evil people getting away with evil shit.-Kye
I really just wanna die, nothing seems worth living for anymore. the saddest part is I have nothing to kill myself with.-Niko
















I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Donald Trump is the anti-Christ.
Convince me I’m wrong.-Woke Former Senator


An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.-Whitesnake
