Il Neige!

Yesterday morning we had a bright pink sunrise( pictured here; my brother-in-law's ex-wife took this photo, and yes,  I still have her and my cousin's first wife on my Facebook because just because they split up the issues are between them and don't involve me and I can still like them) and in real-life it was even more brilliant and they say Pink sky at night sailor's delight; pink sky in the morning sailor's warning so I knew a big storm was coming in and a blizzard was forecasted and it didn't disappoint; when I woke up from my nap at 2 pm it was lightly snowing and then an hour later was coming down really heavy and lasted all day and overnight and still snowing now and we got 15 cm just during the night alone and it's that heavy wet snow too with the big pretty flakes that sticks to everything and looks so beautiful, like a snowglobe or a winter wonderland. It's exactly the kind of snow I want for Christmas only it just came a few days early but hopefully it will stay and we'll have a White Christmas. 

Last night I sat out on the back porch smoking weed just watching the snow coming down. It was so beautiful and magical and when I went up to bed at night I just laid on my bed for over an hour too with the blinds pulled up and looked out the window watching it snow. Sometimes it's the simplest things that bring the most pleasures in life.Power was out in many places too when snow-laden trees knocked out power lines and of course all school buses are cancelled so kids got a snow day and a long weekend and I had to shovel Buddy a path out back so he could pee and I damn near had a heart-attack! I was also right: Die Hard is NOT a "Christmas movie"; it's an action film that just happens to take place at Christmas time but it was released in July and even the Google Home device said so and that's the source we always check to solve a dispute over who is right in any arguement, 

There's also a fire at the Starbucks here in town which will devastate the 21 YR old and she also said they finally think my poor J-Bug( a nick-name I had for her since she was little because she likes ladybugs, and even had a collection of dead bugs she had taped to the wall) has Jeuvenile Arthritis causing her wrist issues( and not just from years of gymnastics and cheerleading afterall) and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and both my mother and Babushka have/had Osteoarthritis so there seems to be some genetic factor, at least in our case, and I know how it feels but at least mine didn't start until my 50's; it would be even worse if you're young, and she'd always said before that all my misfortunes were karma ( presumably for me being such a horrible, terrible, awful person the kids seem to think I am) so I wonder if she still also thinks hers is karma,too, for being a shallow Mean Girl, although I think that sometimes shit just happens and it doesn't mean that you necessarily did anything to "deserve" it.

Today is also our anniversary(we found a restaurant for dinner that serves both Mexican that I like and chicken strips he likes) and 34 years ago today I also lost my virginity, and my hubby gave me this sunflower painting as a gift(and it's really big,too!) I have above my computer in the playroom and I have several various sized paintings now one day I hope to get framed(if I ever come across "extra" $$$$) and my back pain is soooo bad,too; I've had a bad back for decades but not like this; this is a whole entirely different kind of pain and not the usual and the pain's bad enough to go to the ER but I'm NOT going to sit and wait over 22 HRS and I also don't want them to think I'm a drug-seeker and I'd also feel stupid and embarrassed to go to the ER just for a "sore back" so I'll just ride it out at home until it eventually passes( or kills me) and it's on the lower left side so it could be my pancreas, my spleen, left kidney or left lung, or God-knows-what...Even weed (2-3 times a day lately it's soooo bad!) just takes the "edge" off but at least then I can move without screaming.
