A Great Day!
Yesterday was a fantastic *great* day except for 2 things but it was amazing and I had a wonderful time except now every muscle in my body is begging for mercy from all the sitting & walking but I had fun.
I also woke up to see my Angel Bird singing in the maple tree in front of my bedroom window.
Beja refused to let me leave and kept clinging to me and snuck out the door as I was leaving and raced out but luckily The Dancer across the street was out and was able to re-direct him before he got onto the road(I ran after him but I'm not too fast) and he had already ran all the way in front of the house to the corner and peed on the grass) and I got him and put him back inside but holy f*ck, what a way to start my day.
On the way there I also saw a sunflower field so of course I had to hop out and take photos and a video but I couldn't get too close since it was on someone's property and I didn't want to tresspass so I just got what I could from the road.

Seeing the sunflower field( something I've only seen twice in my life!!) was an added bonus to going to the CNE which is always the highlight of my year. Driving down on the highway a car beside us the driver also looked over straight at us and just glared at us and he just gave me the most creepy evil stare with the coldest evil soul-less black eyes, the kind you rarely see in people but when you do it just sends a chill down your spine and you know what evil is, and I honestly thought he was going to pull out a gun and shoot me in the head and I told my hubby to cross over into the other lane farther away from him, the bad vibes were just overwhelming, it was just soooooo strong, it shook me to the core, and when I get vibes like that I'm never wrong and it was so bad it really rattled me and shook me up I even felt the bad juju for 30 minutes afterwards I just couldn't shake it off,I told my hubby I wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing him on the news later for a drive-by shooting, a robbery, or even a murder, and I'll never forget that face and I'll see it and remember, That's him! Even now when I think about it I can feel my heart racing and the panic starts to set in.

I wore my smoking Chihuahua shirt and my funky blue Genie pants and a woman said she loved my purple sequin backpack. I also saw this old gay guy walking around wearing black leather shorts, a black mesh sleeveless top and thigh-high black leather boots and the first thing I thought of was, "I'm sure that guy uses a butt plug!" I also saw 3 shows: Middle Eastern dancing, a guy shredding the guitar and alot of people walked out but I was there like, Yeah! Metal! Shred it!" and he must have had the amp all the way up to 11, and guys from Japan called Haribo that danced BTS-style and did breakdancing in Double-Dutch jump rope(the kind I did as a kid at recess.) They were even on that Britain's Got Talent show and got the "gold buzzer", whatever that means.

I also took this amazing photo of the CN Tower as we drove by(it's near the "Ex") that looks like a postcard and the funny thing is I grew up in Toronto and even got to see the tower being built but I've never been up. For me it was just a part of the downtown landscape I passed by all the time and thought nothing of it and yet people travel from all over the world to come see it, like the Eiffel Tower, which I DID see.

I also got thse really cool things that taste like Twix cereal(I think that's what it's called) and have nitro-something-or-other so it's really cold and cold "steam" comes off it and when you eat it and exhale "smoke" comes out of your mouth. It was really cool. I also found the baklava but not the macaroons and I got a churro,too. I also got a grey cashmere sweater like I had in Jr. High but when I asked the vendor is it was cashmere from a goat or from a rabbit he said he didn't know; that was his wife's department and he was just taking over as she was on her lunch break. I got crocheted sunflowers to add to my collection, too, and my hubby bought this electric and heated massage thing for your back we both really need.

I also saw a Little Person (used to be called dwarf) there and Beja missed me so much he was waiting for me right at the front door and he kept whimpering and squealing and he even peed on me in excitement and it was ME he ran over to see, NOT my hubby, which surprised me,and he kept squirming and he was all over me so maybe he really loves me more than I thought and maybe even more than he realized and maybe now he'll even appreciate me more now,too, and last night he slept pressed up right against me all night and he won't leave my side today.

Theses are my new crochet sunflowers.

On the way back we stopped off at a restaurant to eat and I got this amazingly good pina colada smoothie in a cool pineapple glass but I also got a brain-freeze.

I also got this Fusili Alfredo but no garlic bread because you had to pay extra even though normally it would come with any pasta dish,and you'd expect it would, too, esp. at that price.

When We Were 12.
Yesterday my BFF and our mutual friend F sent me this thru Facebook. It's them at her Korean restaurant. F is now a recently retired accountant. We've all been friends since grade 6 and I'm convinced that there are no better friends than the ones we have when we're 12. There just seems to be something special and enduring about friends you have at age 12. It really touched me that they did that and it made my day, that they were thinking of me and thought to incl. me in part of the group and send me a photo when they got together for a visit, esp. now I've been feeling really sad and lonely lately and prayed to God the other day for a friend.
It was like an answer to my prayer and a balm for my heart.
I really needed that and I appreciated it.
This morning I was also woken by my Angel Bird singing his lungs out in our maple tree right in front of my bedroom window for a good 10 minutes straight and I'm also going to the "Ex" today as well, hopefully the best day of the year for me, and yes, I did remember to put on my underwear! 😁
I wonder if Beja will even notice I'm gone and miss me or not, or whether it will end up being a case of you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone?
My hubby also said last night he was going to pick up the 31 YR old and bring him back here so he "could watch Beja" all day while we were gone but I told him it wasn't necessary,and,in fact, I would worry even more if he was here as I wouldn't be there to keep an eye on him in case he leaves the door open once again and he runs off onto the street and I wasn't there to notice and go after him in time, and besides, I'm done with his shenaningans and I want him gone, and besides, he's a dog, NOT a baby and he can be left home all day and be ok( and the youngest will still be here anyway in case of an emergency) and when I was younger and I was at school and my mother at work we left our Chihuahuas home alone all day until I got back at 4 pm and they were fine.
Yesterday Beja was such a good boy,too: he came in the room to tell me by barking that my timer I had set was going off(I didn't hear it) in the other room and sad as well: he brought his fave. toy to the 19 YR old as a peace offering and an offering of friendship to play Fetch but he just ignored him.😭

This is also the funniest insult for Canadians I have seen so far:
Snow Mexican. 😂😃
I hadn't heard that one before.
Ontario Premier Ford also told off Trump really good calling him a dictator and a loser and told him to "Kiss my ass!"
HA!
Good for him! Trump also warned us to "Get in line or face the consequences".
Who does he think he is and who does he think he's talking to,anyway?
He has NO authority over a sovereign nation and we don't have to do what HE says!
Tabarnak de caliss!
Yesterday the pharmacy also called me saying my doctor is trying to get a hold of me to book an app't but doesn't have the right phone number which is odd and I told them it's the same one they have and are calling me with, and every time I try to call HIS office it's always either busy and I can't get thru or it's that stupid machine that won't let you leave a message, so I can never reach him, and I've always wondered too if Pit Bulls are called "Pitties", Staffordshire Terriers "Staffies", French Bulldogs "Frenchies", Yorkshire Terriers "Yorkies", etc. then how come Jack Russell Terriers aren't called "Jackies?"
I also remember my dream last night I was bleeding out and calling for Buddy and my mother was waiting for me.

Put On Your Underwear!
Tomorrow I go to the CNE (The "Ex") which is the highlight of my year and I always look forward to every year. It always reminds me of my childhood and my Old Life back in the city that I miss and regret ever leaving. I feel "alive" and free again and for a little while it's like a little escape from my life and from being me. I can still remember that one time as a kid I was so excited I forgot to put on my underwear when I was getting dressed to go.
HA!
I'll never forget that.
I have to remember tomorrow to put on my underwear!
I also noticed I'm running out of weed early and then realized why: last time I'd only ordered 7 gm or dried flower instead of my usual 14gm for the month.
Doy!
Yesterday I saw a monarch butterfly as well and I remember I had a revelation before I'd see one just before I die, and we had 46 mm or rain on Saturday with that storm, and it's sad as well that I'm NOT relevant in anyone's life, and sometimes I miss my mother even though she wasn't so nice in her last years I still do miss the good times when we both younger and before I had kids and she over-stepped boundaries.
Despite everything I can still miss the Good Times.

The 31 YR old's still at his GF's and I hope he stays there. 2 weeks was enough and what gets me is not as much that he takes things without asking( which is bad enough) but he doesn't even just borrow a bit for what he needs and put it back but he takes it and keeps it. He's done that 4 times already in the past 2 weeks and he even took my spoon I had for my coconut oil, likely to lube up his nasty ass for his butt plug but he can keep that one though; I don't want that back! 😝
ewwww!
and he can also take his disgusting perverted shit somewhere else,too.
I've had enough and I'm done.
He can come back to get the rest of his stuff and then I want him OUT.

Another reason PM Carney cancelled the trade deal with USA is f*cktard Trump also wanted to interfere with us speaking French here which is none of his f*cking business which languages we speak here IN A FOREIGN SOVEREIGN COUNTRY OR WHICH OTHER COUNTRIES WE TRADE WITH so he can just f*ck right off, and I also heard the doctor shortage in this shithole is so bad they're even offering them a 150K bonus to sign up and my friend K ( who is also the 31 YR old's first ex-GF's mother, originally from California) also said she not only saw AC/DC in concert(I see them next month!) but also got to go backstage!
Lucky!
I'm jealous!
Her hubby used to work for Yamaha Music (he's retired now) though and got to hang out with all the cool bands.
I notice as well esp. lately every time I even call my hubby or ask him anything he always acts like it's this huge imposition and huffs in annoynace, Whaaaat?"
Everyone really will be happier and better off once I'm gone.
Hopefully it'll be soon; I just have to get thru the Ex tomorrow.
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost
Along the way.-Bob Marley
