Was Ist Das?

Do you know what this is?

Can you guess?

I bet you can't.

Take a guess.

I bet you guessed a rifle or something similar.

But you would be wrong.

Any more guesses?

....it's actually a chess set!

A chess set with a roll-up rubber mat for the board, all the pieces, and a chess clock! Betcha you never would have guessed that, huh?

Buddy is back to eating again, thank God, so maybe he just didn't feel well that day, and my mother says how come I don't say anything about him sleeping some 23  HRS a day but I give her a "hard time" about it and reminded her that he's a dog and it's different and yesterday she stole my food yet again and when I called her out on it she sulked, Stop being mean to me!  and I told her I was just telling her to take some responsibility for what she did wrong and that you can't just take other people's food( and being old isn't an excuse) and that would be like a thief saying the police are "being mean" to him for arresting him for stealing and she doesn't take care of her diabetes either and I always have to use "Tough Love"  on her as well and tell her to get her lazy ass out of bed and eat and take her medication on time to regulate her glucose as she doesn't bother and basically just lays around in bed all day waiting to die, and the music she listens to on the radio( Adele, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, etc.) is so "gay" too I joke they should give it a Pride parade, and her brain decline and spelling is getting much worse too( eg. wrote "waffles" as "waffels" and "croissants" as "chorsants" and "Pillsbury" as "Pillsberry" and "weiners" as "weiwers" etc.) yet refuses to mention it to the doctor because she's embarrassed.

Yesterday Buddy also found a rare(for this time of year) sunbeam in the livingroom and was joyfully rolling around in it, basking in it and it just makes me so happy too seeing him so happy and nothing makes me happier either than him wagging his tail lovingly when he sees me and greets me, it's just pure love, and it's sad as well with John Tory's affair how one dumb mistake can destroy someone's life and I pray him and his family can find healing and forgiveness, and I think someone must have it "in" for him,too, as former mayor Ford smoked crack and he never had to resign so I think someone just wanted him gone and this was an excuse, and my left knee also keeps locking as I try to walk too(walk and lock) and last night I tried to get a photo of the starlit night sky only it never worked; it just showed up black, and Wednesday it's going up to a balmy 15 C and I'd normally be sitting outside except it's also going to rain, and tomorrow I get my abdomenal ultrasound and I hope they scan my stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen,and kidneys and appendix and if there's any ulcers or tumours or anything that it clearly shows up so I'll finally find out what's causing my pain.
