Flashback: Re-Post From A Year Ago Today.

Here's the banquet King Charles had recently to host the Orange Shitgibbon Trump. The room is half the size of a football field an the table seats something like over 100 people. I feel sorry for the poor guy who has to wash all those dishes! I saw a photo of the King laughing at Trump droning on and in with some stupid speech, most likely thinking, What a bloody wanker!" I also heard on the news last year alone over 300K people in Ontario left the ER without being seen( just like I did, remember?) tired of waiting as the wait times are just soooo bad, so it's NOT just I'm impatient; it's actually a real problem. I also heard Stairway To Heaven again last night and this morning is so cold 6 C I could see my breath and we even have a frost warning for tonight even going down to 0C and this morning my hubby hogged up all the hot water for his shower as well so I had barely any for my bath, even just running the hot it was barely lukewarm!

F*ck!

Last night the guys also had Dungeons & Dragons with their friend group, giving me the perfect opportunity to finally end it all(and I was actually planning on it,too) being home alone....except I was shocked to see the youngest was still here: I heard someone upstairs and it freaked me out because I thought everyone was gone and I thought to myself Oh, great! Am I going to have to kill someone? thinking it was an intruder, so he's lucky that I didn't attack him! I wonder what he was doing home though? In any case it ruined my plans but didn't cancel them, just merely delay them. I could still always do it any time but I'd prefer when I'm home alone not only so no one's here to stop me or to get help but also just in case something goes wrong(blow a fuse or something) I don't want anyone to be alerted or to get hurt.

I know I'll get thru it; I always have, but now I've reached the point where I don't even want to "get thru" it anymore.

I'm tired of going thru it.

I'm done.

I just want it to finally end.

I just want it to be over.

Beja also seemed happy later yesterday, even wagging his tail, and his new sweater I ordered ( navy blue Cable knit) came as well and he looks so cute(I got a photo too but can't upload it onto the laptop so you'll have to wait until I get a new computer) but he fought and struggled to get it on, wriggling and squawking, and my hubby saw the struggle and said, You're going to lose him! and I replied, I've already lost him (as the 30 YR old took over and stole him from me) and the 30 YR old said he"fixed" him by training him 6 hours straight and taking him for a long walk; apparantly he's an expert in "dog psychology" now( he thinks he's an expert in everything too just like my hubby does) and says he's afraid of certain sounds, textures, touches, etc. and said I should take him to the vet(even though he just got "spooked" by something and just needs time to get over it) except I can't afford it; 100$ for a test here, and 300$ for another test and 500$ for a test there, etc. it all adds up and I just don't have the $$$(and Buddy didn't go to the vet and lived to be 19) and they're always gouging people for unnecessary expenses and then he snapped, Are you going to spend it on yourself instead? and I told him, NO, I don't have it to spend on anything!! We're just barely getting by! If he's so concerned he can take him and spend his $$$,

The Police State gov't also banned an Irish band Kneecap from entering this shithole country(and yet they DO let in convicted felon ,rapist,and pedophile Trump!) for their political beliefs; for being pro-Palestinian(that is, anti-genocide) and supporting the IRA (who fought for Irish independence) saying they "support terrorism" ( an excuse they say whenever anyone doesn't hold their political narrative, such as not supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza) and also passing an Anti-hate speech/symbol law as well which incl. displaying political flags the gov't doesn't like such as a Hezbollah flag, saying it's "terrorism", which is dangerous as ANY opposing political view or protest can be outlawed, and have you ever started reading something online and stopped scrolling and just left knowing what comes next and it's just so sad you don't want to read the rest? eg: Halina was a Jewish woman living in Poland in 1939..... My son would have been 6 years old this year....My husband was working in NYC on September 11.....

I do it all the time.

From that day on he just gave up his will to live. No matter what we did he was always sad…you could feel the pain he was feeling .-Christine

Today's Pondering.

The Experiment. AKA It's YOUR Stomach!

Yesterday I did an experiment.

I had a Little Caesars pizza (seen here) for the first time in over 20 years!

The last time I had one over 20 years ago we all got food poisoning so I never had another one since, BUT.... I saw a commercial the other day for a really GOOD looking one they have which is *REALLY* garlic-y (and I just looooove garlic!) and it also has mushrooms on it I really love as well( onions,too, I just picked off) for just over 11$ for a medium which lasts me 4 meals/days so I decided to go for it.

My hubby goes, "It's YOUR stomach!" but I took a chance and tried it.....and it was sooooo yummmmmmy goood!!! It was that really yummy creamy garlic like Alfredo sauce and tastes like garlic bread with cheese and mushrooms on it.

This morning my stomach does feel nauseated but to be fair it often does every morning ( "Morning Sickness", ha, ha) and I also still have tha really baaaaad abdomenal and back pain as well I've had the past few days where I just want to SCREAM.

I also notice I've lost at least 10 pounds, lately , maybe more, I don't have a scale to see for sure but I can tell from looking in the mirror and how my clothes fit, and I just don't really have much of an appetite lately and only eat half as much as I used to, just like when I had liver failure before.

Yesterday I also saw Beja trying to eat this fuzzy catterpillar, and it reminded me of that time when the now 28 YR old was 3 or 4 or so and he actually did a fuzzy copper-colour catterpillar that was the oldest's "pet" he had in a jar. I noticed it was missing and when I asked him where it was he patted his stomach and goes, "Yum, yum, all gone!" and I freaked as some catterpillars can be poison so I called Poison Control and they laughed and said he should be fine, just that the hairs might irritate his throat but holy shit though....

The things kids put parents thru!

I also keep hearing these really loud thumps and thuds on the roof and couldn't figure out what it was and then eventually realized it was the walnut fruit( which are bigger than golf balls and really hard) falling down off our black walnut trees pelting the roof.

HA!

My hubby was also mad at me for putting the dishwasher thru when it 'wasn't full" even though to me it looked full and I told him to get over it as he had clean dishes without having to do it himself so what's he even complaining about? No matter what I do it's still never enough or good enough for him or the 'right" way and he always has to criticize me, and I can't believe either next month the oldest will be 37....that's almost 40!

He's going to be an old fart....

so then what does that make me?

This is also some of us in our pool 17 years ago.

It really doesn't seem that long ago.

The more I think about it I also doubt the 31 YR old's ex-GF's 2 1/2 week old baby is his, esp. since it appears he is sterile and the fact that she's been living with her previous ex-BF the entire time as well, and she got prego the month they broke up....there was also this cat in our yard the other day so to scare it off I grabbed a few walnut fruits off our tree and threw it at it and it took off like a bat out of hell, ha, ha.

I hate cats.
