Daily Musing.

 

Of Course.

Of course.

Doesn't it just figure.

Shit like this always happens when my hubby's away.

Yesterday my computer decided to do some update and re-start and normally I just skip it because I don't trust those things but decided yesterday yeah, why not, I'm going outside and don't need it anyway so I had it go ahead.

Big mistake.

Once it did its thing and came back I got locked out.

For some reason stupid Microsoft said there was some sort of "problem" with my PIN number and I was locked out of my own computer and I couldn't even see the "menu" or anything.

Completely locked out.

They sent me a verification code....only it went to my hubby's phone....and he's away in Montreal until Monday.

So then they sent it to my e-mail....except being locked OUT of my computer how the f*ck am I supposed to access my e-mail?

So I called my hubby frantic in a panic, and luckily his game hadn't started yet so he picked up and what he did(the computer genius that he is) logged-in to my e-mail on his laptop(he luckily brought with him) and got the verification code.

But it wasn't easy.

It took a few tries and me running back & forth out of breath between my computer and the phone and we finally got it all sorted out and I had to re-set my password and PIN but I finally got back in but holy f*ck though!

My hubby also says the hotel is nice and he even has a fridge, a stove, & a microwave, an entire suite, so he's really "moving' on up" (as The Jeffersons would say) as he used to just either sleep in his car or stay at a Fleabag Roach motel where they change the sheets every hour. Yesterday I was also surprised to see a bumblebee flying around in the house so once it landed I deftly caught it between 2 glasses and let it go back outside and I also saw my Angel Bird again and heard Stairway To Heaven , hoping each time that I do that it's a sign I'm dying soon and yet I never do and disappointed again and again.

I also smelled milkweed outside and it brought back happy nostalgic memories of childhood summers at camp and the cottage and I can still remember our grade 5 school 3 day trip to Ottawa and we stayed at the swanky Chateau Laurier hotel and took up an entire floor and how poor J lost her commemrorative coin on the Thousand Islands boat tour and I also think Vlad The Impaler got a "bad rap",too; I don't think he was really  that bad; I mean he just impaled his enemies, not his friends, and he was just defending his country and people knew to NOT invade Wallachia and to not mess with him because he didn't take any shit.

I also really miss the 70s and 80s because life was much simpler then and I was so happy.

For a short time today, we stepped outside and felt a little bit of normal life again.-Karen Podhorcova

 

Today's Chuckle.

 

Gone Hollywood.

You'll never guess who this is?

I was so shocked when I found out.

Several years ago she was on what I thought was American Idol but it actually turned out to be Britain's Got Talent. In any case, I knew it was one of those lame talent shows except she was actually really good and she just blew them away with her voice of an angel.

At first everyone jeered at her and snickered & laughed  at her "advanced" age and plain, "dowdy" looks but once she started singing they were just left dumbfounded and now she's 65 YRS old and worth 40 MILLION$$$$ and recently got a glow-up makeover and looks like she's Gone Hollywood but boy, does she ever look Good!

I say good for her, and YOU GO, GIRL, and, like me, she is also on the Spectrum and was bullied but now she's put out hit records and the best revenge is success and now the bullies  are laughing and she can laugh all the way to the bank.

Can you guess who it is?

Susan Boyle! (see photo below how she used to look.)

I think it's also kind of sad though that she felt she had to change and not just stay who she was.

As well, I also heard they're re-hiring actor John Reardon back for Hudson& Rex after extreme backlash from fans that almost shut the show down(they wrongly fired him following a cancer diagnosis which he thankfully beat) and yesterday my mother's bank called again and left a message on the machine for her to call back except she's still dead and won't be calling them back so if it's about her loan( like I suspect) they're out of luck, and I also saw my Angel Bird, and Beja kept chasing the birds, in the backyard, likely to "get back" at them for the one that shit on him the other day, and I did hear the neighbor's little dog in their yard again so I guess it didn't get dognapped,afterall. It's funny as well a female dog is a bitch and a mother dog is a dam and if you put them both together you have 

  dam bitches.

Ooooh, that's harsh.

My hubby left yesterday for his 4 day chess tournament in Montreal and he went out the door without his shoes and never even noticed(like that time my mother headed out for the airport still wearing her apron) and I had to point it out to him and I don't know what he'd do without  me to remind him and when I die his entire life will fall apart but he scoffed that "the trade-off will be worth it" but I hope I don't die this weekend though because he'd hate me and blame me for ruining his tournament/weekend and making him come back early. He said the drive was 4 HRS but the trip took 6 HRS because he stopped for breaks in-between and I also heard on the news a guy had his car "jacked" at a local gas station here so I guess now the crime is even coming to the smaller towns too and not just in the big cities anymore.

Yesterday as soon as my hubby left I popped a frozen pizza in the oven for the youngest and I and I wonder too if I'm the only one who just adds an extra 10 minutes to the oven timer on top of the suggested cooking time so I don't have to pre-heat the oven ahead of time(it takes my oven 10 minutes to heat up) before I put the food in and then go back again to set the cooking timer? My hubby says I'm lazy but I say it's just efficient. Why make more work for myself than I have to? Tomorrow we're also ordering-in food for OUR "vacation" and yesterday was one of my cousins' in Europe's anniversary; their 32nd( but they've been together for 37 YRS) and her hubby forget to get her a card so now she says he'll "pay for it" and now he has to buy her that ring she wants and Europe's also having a heatwave and she said they got a bad storm,too. Here it's just 20C.

Exhaustion. A kind of exhaustion that no sleep can fix. It feels like my soul is trying to leave my body, trying to reach the part of me that is missing.-Jackie Phipps

No one is too old to be chosen. No one is too worn down to be loved. And sometimes… the ones who have been waiting the longest… are the ones who love the deepest.-Luna Grace

Pondering For The Day.

 

Dirty Bird.

Poor Bejalita!

Some dirty bird shit on him!

When I first saw it yesterday I wasn't even sure what it was and thought it looked like yogurt but couldn't figure out how he got yogurt on his ear outside and then I realized.

Maybe the squirrels all got together and paid the bird to do the dirty deed as revenge for him always tormenting them, maybe they paid him to dive-bomb him and plop on him as payback?

I still can't believe some dirty bird shit on my Chihuahua. 😂

It was both kind of funny and gross at the same time and at first I took the photo,  and called my hubby to come and see(and to get a laugh) and then I cleaned him off, which I think he was most grateful for as he kept trying to rub it off with his paw and for a bit there I even forgot it was there and gave him a kiss.....and got it on my lips.

ewwwwwww

and it was bird shit alright.

Yesterday I also smelled someone outside smoking weed( and it wasn't me this time and poor Beja looked confused,ha,ha) and it made my lungs horny, and I also thought (with my fantastical imagination) a neighbour's dog behind us was dognapped as I was outside and kept hearing it barking like they left it out alone in the yard and it sounded "yappy" like a Toy breed, likely a Chihuahua, Yorkie, or a Pom, and then I heard a car door slam shut and someone say, "It's a dog" and then all of a sudden it stopped barking so me, after just smoking 'da ganja had this wild theory someone stole it from the yard so I made note of the exact time ( 9:20 am) and the direction the car went(I couldn't actually see it thru the fence) and then I never saw or heard anything more.

Hopefully the owners just opened their door and let the dog back in and that's why it stopped barking and the "It's a dog" was just someone walking by asking what the noise was, not a opportunistic thief.

That's one reason too why I never leave Beja outside alone.

Today my hubby also leaves for his chess tournament and isn't coming back until MONDAY as he doesn't want to drive back at 2 am Sunday morning which makes sense and he's always so last minute as well he packs pretty much on the way out, and even grabs clean clothes from the dryer to pack the same morning whereas I pack at least a week ahead except for the last-minute things like deoderant.

We are just such opposites, ha.

I couldn’t even process what was happening. It felt like my whole world had fallen apart.”-Amanda
