The Ficus Hippo.

My hubby got me this cute hippo Christmas tree ornament and it even plays music, the I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas song(he actually found it way back in March!) and at first I hung it up on the tree but it looked lost and overwhelmed in there amongst all the other ornaments so I took it out and hung it by itself on the Ficus plant instead, where it stood out and was more visible and I decided I'm going to keep it there all year long and not take it down after Christmas, so it'll be like it lives in a sort of a jungle year round, it can be my Ficus hippo.It was also a glorious 14 C yesterday too( we broke a record of over 35 years!) isn't "Global Warming" a wonderful thing and Buddy and I sat outside on the back porch for over an hour(who would ever think in the middle of December?) until it got really windy and cloudy(and then later it rained as well) and I started to get cold. We're supposed to get 5-10 cm snow tomorrow.I also heard someone sold their farts  in a jar and made 100K! Buddy farts so much if I bottled his farts I could make over a million $$$$! Save gas, fart in a bottle! I also keep thinking that there's something significant about 18 December too but I can't remember what so I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out. Or not.

This is also the awesome amazing combined anniversary/birthday gift I got from my hubby(because it was so expensive) and the frame cost more than the art! It's also the exact same frame I have on my Monet painting I have in the living room and I just love it! I was going to put it on my bedroom wall but it's so big I don't have any space so it's in the rec room near my computer but it looks out of place there; it's so ritzy-looking it looks like it belongs in a gallery, not a rec-room, or at the very least in the living room, and a Facebook friend said he must 'really love me" too and it made me laugh because in actual reality he treats me like shit yet buys expensive gifts, sort of like trying to "make up" for it maybe, like my mother always did when I was growing up,too; she was never home and hardly ever spent time with me but she always bought me whatever I wanted. He didn't want my anniversary  giftto him though, just like he's refused it ever since the youngest was born, and he turns 15 in March. The kid also has his eye exam today as well as he needs new glasses but he's lucky as they had a cancellation as normally it takes at least a month to get an app't. and the optometrists just ended a strike,too.

This is also what I had for my anniversary dinner yesterday, ordered-in from my fave. Italian place since being unvaxxed I'm banned from in-person dining( and everything else in life now as well) Chicken Penne Al Forno, chicken with Penne pasta and cheese and mushrooms. it originally comes wirh broccoli as well but that's gross so I always tell them to omit it. It was funny when I called them too they asked for my phone number and I had a "brain fart" and couldn't remember it and I panicked being put on the spot and I froze( and with my Social Phobia and panic attacks I hate  talking on the phone,too)  and then she said, Is it ---......? and rattled off the number and I said ,Yes! That's it! so it must have shown up on her call display or her computer or whatever and she proceeded to tell me the address and my name, etc. and I felt really stupid and then I wondered, If you already had  the number and knew it then why did you ask ? She also must have thought I was a real dummy!The guy that delivered it was also alone in his car and was wearing a mask too, just like the lone woman I saw walking down the street. You can't cure stupid. I also had this really weird headache on and off yesterday as well that felt like bolts of electricity zapping thru my head.

The hardest thing is to lose someone who is still living as there's no finality to it; no closure.
