The Hippo.

Yesterday I went to the store to get a few things and I found this huge Valentines hippo I was looking for,and I mean it's huge; you can't really tell the size from the photo but it takes up the entire shopping cart and fills the entire seat in the car! I saw it and gleefully tossed it into my cart(it's my biggest one yet!) and my hubby told me to put it back; saying that he already got  it for me for Valentine's Day and then bawled me out for "ruining" the surprise but I didn't know,and before when he went out and I asked him to look for it he said they never had it so I thought he couldn't find it, and I wondered how he'd ever sneak something so big into the house past me without me noticing and he said he just left it in the car overnight until I went up to bed! HA! I'm going to name him Le Gris which is French for The Grey (because he's grey) and it also sounds sort of aristocratic, like a nobleman. I also got buddy a new squeaky toy for his 16th birthday on the 20th but before I even got my boots off he was in the bag and found it and took it out so now he has his present early but he doesn't know the difference what day it is and this way he gets to enjoy it for longer so I don't mind and I was also excited as well to find Funyons  which I haven't seen in over 10 years and to get new strawberry-mint body wash and coconut lotion. It doesn't take much to make me happy and I find joy in the little things.

I had wanted to go a couple of days before actually but my hubby didn't want to go twice and he was already going yesterday anyway so we went then and I said I just didn't want him to take forever like he always does and I only had to get a couple of things and then I'm done early before him and stuck waiting outside in the cold freezing(I can't wait inside or else I have to wear a face diaper for longer and I can't breathe but once outside I can take it off) but he didn't care and said me freezing matters less than him being inconvenienced having to go twice, or him having to wait for me but as it turned out he ended up having to wait for me afterall(karma?) because there was this huge line(I almost passed out I was so sweaty hot and felt faint!) and then they tried to rip me off at the cash by charging me 3.98$ for each dog food instead of the 2 for 6$ special so the guy had to go back to the pet section to check twice because he couldn't find it and I had to wait forever but he eventually found it and I was right and I got my discount. I will NOT be cheated or ripped-off and I'm all about saving $$$$! Even the body wash and lotion I got I made sure I got the cheapest one, under 5$.

I also re-buzzed my hair again, as seen here, as I was bored and wanted a change and I missed it and now I feel like the Old Me again(I'm baaacck!) and sorry about the ugly face but it came with the body and I was born that way,and I figure I'll never be pretty or attractive to anyone or find love anyway so I might as well just do what's best for me and what I like (I'm not here to impress anyone)and what best suits me. I also heard Stairway To Heaven and I had this revelation before that I'll hear that song just before I die too so now every time I hear it I always wonder if that's the time,and I also tried 3 times to put a KISS song on my iPod  and I downloaded and converted it to MP3 ok but when I synced it to the device it only played 22 seconds of it and then shut off and even my hubby was stumped, and I think I'm just cursed with bad luck and must be a jinx. I also had a nice surprise yesterday waking up from my afternoon nap: I found McDonald's food waiting for me on my place-setting on the table and when I get pizza I get mushroom and pepperoni toppings too and I eat the mushrooms and give the pepperoni to Buddy and there's nothing quite  like sharing with your best friend! My prego Facebook friend has her baby tomorrow too( lucky girl gets to completely AVOID the torture of labour too by getting a cesarian!) and is already having problem with grandma(either her mother or her husband's; she didn't say) taking over and over-stepping boundaries with the baby and he's not even born yet and I know what that's like; my mother is the queen and it's because of that it ruined our relationship.

Now the Ottawa mayor(who I used to think was ok but now see he's just like all the others) declared a State of Emergency on the Freedom Convoy protesters who are still peaceful and now the police have seized their fuel (they should light it as they do and see if they still want to take it!) and arresting people for providing  the protesters fuel, food,and other supplies, saying it's aiding and abetting mischief and arresting them for minor made-up infractions such as parking and license issues because they can't find anything real to arrest them for and there's talk of calling in the military to clear them out,too,(and the police have already seized some trucks) and if they start shooting them at least they can use the fuel they still have to make Molotov Cocktails to defend themselves(now I can see why USA has the  Second Amendment),and Ottawa has always been an elitist uptight town; I lived there for 18 YRS and it's always been very intrusive, over-reaching gov't culture of informants; report your neighbour society and all gov't agencies( school boards, Public Health, Social Services, hospitals,etc.) have always been tyrannical and heavy-handed and invasive, and what everyone should do now to protest the mistreatement of the freedom fighters is to collectively strike; everyone just stay home from work and school in protest; just walk out. You have to stand up to tyranny and keep fighting. We demand our freedom back! End all COVID restrictions and mandates NOW!!

Always do what's best for you; not to please other people and that way you'll never be disappointed.
