Hyacinth.

The other day I saw this Hyacinth The Hippo from Fantasia as a Pop! figurine on my Facebook hippo lovers group so I casually mentioned it to my hubby and asked if he could keep an eye out for it when he's out shopping and if he could pick it up for me if he found it and then thought nothing of it and then yesterday a package arrived in the mail.....and it was this! The 19 and 20 YR year olds have collected so many of the Pop! figures over the years there's I don't even know how many; too many to count; they have shelves and shelves of them, mostly of characters from TV shows and such. This is my first one. He said it's apparantly a limited edition and he had to order it online and it was 45$ instead of the usual 15-20$ so I said it can be my late Mother's Day gift then since it cost so much. What a nice unexpected surprise though and it "makes up" for his fiasco last week getting groceries when he didn't get my ground beef I needed for cooking,and again this week it was my stuff he forgot again so now I'm thinking this is not a 'coincidence" but rather on purpose just to annoy me. He says if I don't like the way he does it then I can do it myself....yeah, I'll get right on that, with my autism and perception problem, I'll learn to drive...My mother also left her shampoo and towel out on the kitchen counter for days and when I mentioned it she huffed, Don't you have anything better to do than to 'pick' on me?  yet she always blames me for everything and always criticizes me and points out all my faults and short-comings all the time and nothing I do is ever good enough so I guess she can dish it out but she can't take  it, and the other day she even had to ask how to spell the almost 23 YR old's name to address the envelope to mail her birthday cards,too!

Yesterday the 27 YR old also went out and walking back he picked me a lilac which he knows I love and I thought was thoughtful and sweet. I just love  lilacs( I always have ever since I was a kid) and nothing smells better than lilacs and later this week I'm also going on my annual lilac hunt where I go and pick a shitload of wild lilacs and fill the house with them and on this upcoming long holiday weekend I'm also planting my sunflower garden. My friend P( from grade 6) also has her pool open already too(but hers is heated unlike ours) and we haven't had our pool open now for the past 3-4 years because I'm the only one that uses it and my mother and hubby don't think it's "worth" the 2000$ expense every season to just keep it open for me. I also brought the baby palm tree and fern inside all winter to keep them safe and they survived but now I put them back outside in the spring now they're both starting to die and turn brown. Doesn't it figure? We had lots of rain yesterday as well( after none for over a week) and the kitchen ceiling is leaking again so we had to put a bucket under it and today it's cool like fall, only 8 C! My allergies are back bad again as well and that's the only bad thing about spring and summer; allergies and the insects.

I also saw a picture of the older version of Strawberry Shortcake( before they changed all the characters and ruined them) when she used to look like this( this is the version I like best) the way she used to look when the 19 YR old was little and she used to love  her. Her room was everything Strawberry Shortcake  and most of her clothing was as well from age 2-6. She just loved  her and she had the books, the videos, toys, etc. and when I saw this it made me think of her when she was little and when we used to be really close and it made me sad, longing for the old days, I still don't know why she hates me now when all I ever did was love her. Is it possible to love someone too much? I'm worried about Buddy as well and worry he's dying as all yesterday he never ate anything, not even pepperoni that he loves and he just slept all day and hid under the couch and he even lunged off a chair he was on and jumped off recklessly, like jumping off a cliff and luckily I caught him, and I think his mind is going and he's hallucinating as he'll often jerk his head up quickly and just stare startled straight ahead but there's nothing there. My hubby's mean too and calls him Zombie Dog  and Corpse Dog  and says he's died and come back to life so many times because he's had so many close-calls.He's my everything, my life,my only reason for living and to keep holding on. He's all I have left and if I lose him I'll have nothing.

Just because I'm crazy doesn't mean I'm wrong.
