Running With Scissors.(Formerly HippoRastaPotamus): July 2021

Yesterday we decided to order-in KFC for dinner because my mother was too lazy to cook(even though she hadn't cooked all week!) and I didn't want to cook again so she had me go online to order it like I always do only this time I couldn't order off my usual saved fave. menu as some of the items were no longer available( we always get a special deals because we're both poor and cheap) so then I had to go and search thru everything and find the items I wanted, one by one, which took friggin' forever, and then when I tried to order mine( the 5$ Fill-Up meal with spicy flatbread, popcorn chicken, fries, a cookie and a drink) I ordered a Diet Pepsi only it registered as a regular Pepsi, and then as I checked out only one of the meals I ordered was even actually on the order, all the others were missing so then I had to go back and re-order everything all over again and then it was finally all done and I clicked the order and it said it will be delivered in 40 minutes.....

and so we waited.

40 minutes went by.

No food.

Then an hour went by.

Still no food.

By this time we're really hungry so we called them to see what the delay was and they said they never even got our order! WTF? Then they said no worries, they'll get it all sorted out and call us back, which, of course, they never did, so we called them back and got another number to call, of the higher-up main location( as opposed to our local one) and they were better and tried to sort it out and told us it was coming.

So we waited again.

and again.

and yet again.

By now 3 HRS had gone by and we were just starving and on the verge of fainting so called them again and finally this time we got an apology and our food( they said they don't know what happened but they couldn't even find our order anywhere) and it was free for all the trouble, but they screwed-up our order though and of course it had to be mine (with my typical "luck")they f*cked up; all they gave me was the spicy flatbread; I was missing the popcorn chicken, the fries, the drink and the cookie! I got ripped-off! Why do these things always happen to me though? I swear I have the worst "luck" ever and I must be a "jinx". Why can't things ever just go right and work out for me for once?

Good news! My friend's son in the coma and on life-support is awake! He's not "out of the woods" yet but he's trying and this is a great improvement and milestone on the way to recovery! Yay!! Out of my 27 sunflowers only 4 of them have buds too so I wonder if all the others are "duds" or just late bloomers(like I was) and the other day I was sitting out on the front veranda( because it was raining and there's no shelter at the back) hitting the bong and a neighbour walked by so now the guy with the black dog( Buddy's nemesis) knows I'm a pothead, and for the past couple of days I often smell something burning as well but no one else does and hear a siren sound too, like an alarm, sort of like a tornado warning or an air raid signal, and and I really miss our mulberry tree NOT being here anymore now too; I miss walking by and picking off freash mulberries, still warm from the sun, and popping them into my mouth on the way by and I'm sure so does everyone else walking by down the street,too, not to mention the squirrels and birds.

Last night I also got my Facebook back after my 3 day ban but I can still only comment on other people's comments or share on to my page; something's wrong and it still won't let me post my own images, photos, or memes(it figures; I waited 3 days and it still doesn't work!) and now they say they even want people who have already had COVID (and would already have a natural immunity to it)and even those allergic to the vaccine to get it,too, which is really going too far and is beyond ridiculous, and now most of the other provinces have lifted restrictions too incl. masks and social distancing but still not us; poor Ontario is still living under oppression and tyranny, and I had a thought as well; maybe the reason God allowed me to have those 6 miscarriages I did(as well as the 2 severely handicapped others we lost at age 9 and 10 years old) was to ensure that at least some of my kids would go to Heaven as babies and special-needs people are innocent and don't commit sin worthy of Hell, so even if all the others DO end up lost to the world and turn away from God this way I'll at least still have some that will still make it to Heaven.,unstained by the world...

Love is where you find it.
