Dawdling.
I had been asking my hubby for days to send me photos of the kids in BC so I could see the most recent updates and he finally did ( before he goes off to Calgary tomorrow to play in the chess tournament and that's just a shorter 90 min. flight) and we ALL know dawdling is his fave. sport.
So he finally did get around to it but he still kept screwing it up.
He never sent me a photo of the second-oldest( shown above here) at first for a couple of days but rather 3 photos of the 25 YR old and 2 of the 23 YR old but none of her and then when he finally did he claimed it was his third time doing so( which I doubt) even though it was my first time ever seeing it and it was this HUGE photo I had no way of "shrinking" smaller.
Doofus.
In the end I did eventually end up getting them all though and I can't believe the second-oldest turns 36 later this year.(The oldest turns 37)
I just can't.
Middle-aged.
I had my second-last and 10th child(who is now 23) when I was her age.
She's almost 40. 😕
That was when I had my youngest, who is now 19.
F*ck.

Here is the 28 YR old who came up from Edmonton to visit them and yes, he sent the photo upside-down; it wasn't me who f*cked it up and it looks like he has a beard now. I also don't miss my hubby yet but I'm sure he doesn't miss me,either, so it's even, and for the past couple of days my stomach also hurts sooooo much it feels like I keep getting kicked by a horse and yesterday I saw The Man With The Black Dog again....and this time he DID have The Black Dog with him again so I guess it luckily didn't die afterall and maybe last time he was just walking a friend's dog? Europe is also sweltering under an intense heatwave and I still have lots of relatives that live there and for the most part they don't have A/C not even in the hotels and I can still remember years ago when I was in London in June they had one and it was 30C and my hotel never had any A/C and now it's like in the 40C's.People have even died from the heat.
Just ugh.
Yesterday I also felt really hot & sweaty too and had to come indoors early even though it really wasn't too hot, just 22C so I guess it was just my hormones/hot flashes with menopause.
They also said in the past YR the ER waits have lessened, now "just" on average 8 HRS down from 11 HRS down from 16 HRS previously and from an average of 2 days before, yet somehow I still don't find that reassuring.
You can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 8 HRS.

This is also the 25 YR old who I think looks scary; not just the "Emo" look but she's just soooooo skinny and I worry she's anorexic, like the 23 YR old was as a teen; her shoulders are sticking out my hubby excuses as "She's just a vegan" but I've seen plenty of vegans and they're NOT all bony like that! It worries me! I also heard a teen walking by the other side of the fence let out a loud triumphful Whooop! likely finished their final exam/last day of school or maybe even graduated and I can still remember the joy.
Freeeedooooom!
Someone also predicted there would be an alien invasion yesterday and here I was all packed and ready and waiting....and nothing.
Talk about disappointing,haha.
For me it wouldn't be an abduction but a rescue mission.

This is also the 23 YR old and now she's getting older she looks more like the second-oldest.Yesterday I also had fun teaching a bunch of Japanese people online English swear words and one thought "Kiss my ass!" was one of the worst things so I educated them on "Suck me off!"
I know, I'm such a bad influence, ha,ha.😂
They were marvelling over the word motherf*cker as well and trying to figure out its meaning.
I also found out that Spencer Rice guy is on one of those stupid Reality TV shows, called Spencer VS Fenster or Spenny VS Penny or something like that, I don't care. It sounds like a court case.I also think it would be a good idea to have a summer camp for parents, for adults, and in pottery class I could make an ashtray for mi ganja or a food dish for Beja and could swim, do archery, horseback riding, canoeing, etc. like I did at camp as a kid and I'd wondered if "The Guys" went to any of the World Cup games since they're already in Vancouver but then found out tickets cost something like 3K so I guess not.
My dog has never back stabbed me. So she's more family to me than family.-TDM
