Recall.


My hubby got a notice in the mail saying our car(like the one pictured above) got recalled due to some manufactur defect; something about the airbags or something-or-other tending to catch fire (which is a big thing to go wrong!) so he had to bring it back to the dealership to get fixed but it was free so no harm other than the inconvenience but no one wants their car catching fire. He was also doing yardwork and had the 13 YR old help him and he was ranting in a raging huff as my mother's pampered little Prince doesn't dare ever get told to do work and my hubby was trimming the bushes and shrubs in front of the house too with the electric saw-thing and he just went berserk with the thing, like some crazed serial killer or something because he just scalped this one poor bush; he was only supposed to trim  it but he ended up scalping  the poor thing, and it ended up half it's normal size, lop-sided, with one side completely flat and the back of it bald,with no leaves even left on it, just branches and it looks like that back of his head now: flat and bald. Shit.

I also found out that one of my ancestral countries (I have a few countries in my European background from both sides of my family) has this thing if you have at least one grandparent born there you can immigrate there as an "Ancestral Home" thing which I do so it's nice to know that I always have that option open, and I read somewhere that Dutch women are tall and masculine-looking  too and I do  have some Dutch in me as well so maybe that explains why I look the way I do and if I had a hashtag it would be #UglyLivesMatter and I'm sure a cat must have snuck into the house again too when my hubby had the doors open to "air" the house out when he was painting too as it reeks like cat piss in the kitchen in a corner under the table and it has a very distinct smell and I know cat piss when I smell it, and my friend D( from grade 6) also bought land and a vineyard in Wine Country and is building a house there and it's not too far from where we live now.

This song(from the musical Cats is also one I can relate to and sums up my life:

Memory

Barbra Streisand
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
