Running With Scissors.(Formerly HippoRastaPotamus)

Good news!

The 31 YR old got a full scholarship at the university for next year starting in September as long as he keeps up his at least 95% average for his Pre-Med course and it covers tuition and room & board!

I must say he's doing much better than I expected as up until this time he's always been kind of "flighty" and never stayed with anything for too long and would "flit" from one thing to another and never really commit to anything for too long(other than jiu-jitsu which he can sadly no longer do due to multiple concussions) or was a n "outstanding" student but now look at him!

It just proves that it's never too late to find your way and never too late to start.

Yesterday my cough was also sooooo bad I almost puked and I hadn't had diarrhrea for 3 days so I thought it was finally gone and maybe it was just some gastro bug....but then yesterday it was back again with a vengeance and really baaaad cramps,too.

F*ck.

I was also mentioning to my hubby how I was pondering hanging myself and he wasn't even the slightest bit shocked or concerned and just merely asked if I was planning on using a 3 or 9 knot noose. I honestly didn't even know there were 2 options and I'm not so good at tying knots or following instructions anyway and ended up deciding against the ceiling fan as I weigh so much the entire ceiling would probably come crashing down,anyway. Yesterday a realestate agent was also going door-to-door(like Jehovah's Witnesses) trying to drum up business and my hubby told him he "Can't sell the house until my wife dies" and the guy didn't skip a beat and just said non-chalantly, "Well, when the time times, give me a call."

I also posted these photos of Beja up on my Facebook and Twitter and someone commented the one at the top is a "thirst trap" and I had no idea what that even is so I asked Google who said it's a sexy, alluring, or provokative photo used to ilicit views(ha,ha) and even though it took me much longer to bond with Beja than it did with Buddy( plus I was also grieving,too) I really DO love that little guy and yesterday we were outside but he kept tormenting the squirrels so I had to put him inside the house for a Time Out for awhile but it gave me a few minutes where I could just close my eyes and drift away in the sun without having to keep an eye on him.

I also like this shirt, and heard in this Shithole bear/pepper spray is illegal for self-defence so what do they expect us to DO to defend ourselves if we get raped or attacked, etc? Use a gun? Is that preferable? It's also kind of "funny" that as far as I know only one of the boys has a tattoo but all except for one of the girls has them, unless, of course, she does have a secret one somewhere(like on her ass or somewhere) I don't know about that only her BF sees, and my hubby says it's somehow "easier" for me to go down to the Service Ontario office to re-new my passport instead of mailing it off by reg'd mail but there's no way I'm going to sit and wait there for 4 HRS like I had to at the passport office in Ottawa, plus I hate having to deal with people.

It's much easier to just mail it and it's even worth paying the 25$/35$ or whatever to reg'd it by mail rather than having to actually go down there.

He says I'M "making it much harder than it has to be" but he actually is.

It's easier to just mail it than to have to go down there in person and wait.

and deal with people.

He also leaves tomorrow at Noon for his weekend chess tournament in Montreal. I can still remember as well when I lived in Ottawa and first met him he was living in Quebec; in Gatineau, and it took me 3 buses(and 1 HR!) to go visit him. He didn't get a car until he was 25 or 26.
