Pondering For Today.

 

Hoppy Easter!

Hoppy Hippo Easter!

This morning a few times from 7 am my mother had the nurses at the LTC home phone us asking when we were coming to pick her up(she kept bothering them to call) and that she was excited and kept telling them to get her ready, thinking we were picking her up at 9 am....when it's not really actually until 1 pm or so and it was just sooooo annoying and I feel sorry for those poor nurses and I bet they'll be glad to be rid of her for most of the day! Now they know what we've had to put up with, and Lord help us to get thru this day! 😂It scared me at first,too, getting a call from them early in the morning; I was afraid she'd died or something! I'd also wondered why the Hot Cross buns were so stale as I'd noticed them the other day and found out that they'd actually  been there for a week but someone had put them in the wrong spot so I never knew they were there.They also released the Sunshine List revealing people who earn 100K or more I think it stupid though because it's really no one's business what people's income is.

This is also my Easter chocolate, the same "default" one I get every year for the past decade(at least) or so and my hubby said it was either that or the cat, knowing I hate cats, and tomorrow it'll be 3 weeks I've had the virus too and I still have the hacking cough and even hocked up a big  goober wad of clear hork that landed on my keyboard in-between the keys! Ewww!!  My backs' been really sore recently as well, lower down, on both sides, either my kidneys or under my ribs(my lungs?) and it hurts sooooo bad I just want to scream, and I'm still all sweaty,too, and I also had a dream the other night someone said to me, You are so much, much more sicker than you even know and I wonder if it's actually true? I was also 9 years old when I first started to appreciate music as well and KISS was the first band I liked (I thought "Those guys are so weird! They're awesome!")and I was even a member of the KISS Army and had a KISS Army Patch and I can separate artists from their personal lives as well, like Ted Nugent, for example,  I like his music but I I think he's one crazy motherf*cker and I don't agree with his political views but I listen to his music, not  his politics and you can disagree with someone and still appreciate other things they have to offer.

The ending is just the beginning-

 

Sunday Stuff.

USA thinks they're special.

It feels like something's missing.

I still want to see Foreigner and Billy Idol on my Bucket List 

My childhood and I loved it.

and I need an overhaul!

I do the same for my hubby!

Daily Thought.

 

A Slow Weekend.

I saw these absolutely gorgeous shoes online yesterday(shown here) that look like flowers and it's just sooooo beautiful this one I actually seriously considered ordering......except it was 85$USD which would end up being over 100$ in our $$$$ and there's no guarantee of what it's actually going to look like once it arrives or if the size will be right so I decided nah.....forget it....and shoes are really something you need to try on in person. I'll just add it to my Mental List of things I like and just keep it in my head in my Imaginary Collection. I also e-mailed the oldest 4 days ago and haven't heard back so I'm hoping that he's just busy or away but that he's ok and I'm so grateful that God restored Buddy to me again(I don't know HOW many times he's been "resurrected") and we still have more time together. I also heard a motorcycle yesterday and it made me smile, reminding me of when I was 20 and my friend used to take me for rides on his motorcycle. It was so long ago but I was so happy then.

Yesterday was also a fasting day (to my surprise my mother said she's still trying to fast for Lenten Fridays the best she can at the LTC home,too)for Good Friday and I was hungry so even Buddy's food( shown here) was looking pretty good, esp. those shell noodles and for Easter tomorrow I'm doing ham for dinner even though I can't eat pork the others still like it and besides, you're supposed  to have ham for Easter, reminding me of my cousin when we were younger and he was mad my aunt wasn't cooking turkey this one Christmas and she said Why do YOU care? You don't even like turkey! and he said I know, but you're supposed to have it! My mother kept insisting I do turkey(which takes forever to cook) even though that's for Christmas, not Easter, and you're supposed to have ham at Easter but I refuse so my hubby gave in to her ( like he always does) and said he'll cook it. 

Fine,

 whatever.

 I don't care. 

I'm not doing it.

I also saw this online and it was just sooooo funny it cracked me up! The toe-thru-the-hole! HA! So funny!!😂

We also got these chicken and tomato chips to try we thought would be good since the roast chicken chips are so yummy.....except that they weren't; they were just gross  and sweet and yuck and no one liked them, no one in the house so I just ended up giving them to the birds and the squirrels outside and they liked them (or else they were just really hungry?)and ate them up in no time so at least it wasn't a waste. I also heard there was some study that people who swear and use rude hand gestures( like the Up Yours!) have higher tolerance for pain than those who don't so maybe that would explain my high pain tolerance then and why my hubby is such a weenie??HA!

Today's Musing.

 

Maybe Today?

Does this food look yummy to you?

It's Buddy's dog food! HA!😂

Yesterday he was eating alot  so he's recovering and feeling better now and I'd had this revelation(or whatever it was) before that I'm going to die on a Friday the 29th.....which is today.....so I wonder if today will be The Day....or will it be on some other Friday 29th? When I was saying how I still have my cough over 2weeks one of my cousins in Europe said she's had her cough for 3 months(shit, that can't be normal!) and yesterday my hubby's nephew posted up on his Facebook that it was Opening Day  and I had no idea what he was talking about and I replied, Opening Day for what? a movie? a play? a business?what? and he said "baseball".....oh, sports......nevermind.....don't care.The 29 YR old also said the famous hockey player that was his client was a guy named Eddie Shack and my hubby goes, Everyone knows Eddie Shack but not me; I've never even heard of him. I've heard of Radio Shack but that's a store not a person, and Love Shack that fun song from the 80's by the B-52's. I also saw a guy outside yesterday wearing shorts too even though it was just 7 C!

This is also how I started my morning today: I got blue toilet puck dye on my hands from when the toilet was going to over-flow and I grabbed a plunger to fix it and it apparantly had the blue dye on it which I didn't notice until....well.....you can see here.Some f*cker also moved my turkey havarti cranberry almond wrap way to the very back of the fridge where it's really cold and it all froze and had crunchy ice at the bottom and all the lettuce froze and then it was all wilted and soggy and really gross and the tortilla at the bottom was all wet( ewwww!!!!) so part of it was inedible,  and I thought I saw a baby panda under a bush in our backyard as well but it turned out it was just one of the kids' old stuffed toys a raccoon or something had dragged out of the shed into the yard and I couldn't find the computer mouse arrow/cursor thingy on my screen so I called my hubby to help( he's a computer expert) to find it ....and it turned out that it had just come unplugged.

Life is hard when you're stupid.

Schools are also going to install vape detectors as well; everything is so Big Brother and 4 school boards are going to combine as well to sue Meta, SnapChat, and TikTok too saying they "re-wire" kids' brains which is stupid and it would make more sense to just ban phones in class instead, and I realized that some of my old friends from the Ottawa YMCA group were 10 years older than me (I was 20 at the time and they were 30, I was one of the youngest) meaning that now they'd be 67(because I'm 57) which is nearly 70 and it just hit me how old we all are now(and the last time I heard C was diagnosed with breast cancer as well) and we're all grey now,too, and it's just so sad. I loved that group though and it was the first time I felt I ever belonged anywhere,too,  and was accepted,and I could come out of my shell and we were all neurodivergent and I had found my Tribe and I was in my element and just blossomed. I even eventually was on the planning committee. That was honestly one of the best times of my life.

Laff For The Day.

 

Still Holding On.

Buddy is still holding on and dare I even say perking up and last night it even appeared that he was even coming out of his stupor; his eyes "lit" up, he told me he was hungry and licked off my lasagna plate and ate an entire plate of his dog food and drank out of his water dish( instead of me having to give him water by syringe like I have been doing) and he even walked all the way from the back door coming from outside all the way thru the kitchen! He also seems more alert and "with it" now,too, almost as if he emerged from a cocoon of being in a state of suspended animation for a few days like a switch has been turned back on and he's pretty much back to his usual self again now except for the head tilted to the one side and the unsteady gait. I now have cautious optimism  yet at the same time not too much because I know better and maybe it was just his Last Hurrah so I'm still not getting my hopes up too much but either way it's nice to see he's recovering from his stroke and feeling better and I'll just enjoy whatever time we still have left.

Yesterday I also saw my Angel Bird again after not for awhile and a raven flew past me as well I wondered were signs, maybe this is The End for me(if so at least I won't have to cook Easter dinner on Sunday!) and tomorrow is Good Friday already and also a fasting day but the last Lenten Friday as well and I still have the cough as well, now day 17 and my hubby still has his,too, and he's had it even longer than me and with Buddy so helpless following his stroke I doted on him even more than usual and he got even more love, attention,and pampering but he didn't mind it and neither did I.When he dies though my life will no longer have any meaning or purpose though and I'll have nothing left to live for anymore.

I also saw this satin jacket online the other day in the 70's nostalgia group and it made me smile because I had this exact same one when I was around 10 years old. It was the style back then and I just felt so cool with my pink and white satin jacket.It's funny how a photo of something from the past can bring back so many happy memories.I also chased a neighbour's damn cat off our veranda again as it pisses on our garbage cans; I hate cats and see them as vermin like mice, rats, raccoons, etc.and they dig up and shit in our garden,too, and and the 29 YR old said some famous hockey player from the Maple Leafs that won the Stanley's Cup trophy was his client but he didn't remember his name because he doesn't follow(or care about!) hockey( just like me) and my hubby was pressing him to try and find out who it was(because he's the only one who cares) and he said that team hasn't won in decades( which is kind of pathetic) and I heard Prince William likes "pegging" but his wife won't do it because she's not perverted(maybe that's why he has his mistress?)

  I found out some naughty young Mormons do something called "soaking" and "Jump Hump" (you can look it up) to try and "by-pass" the  pre-marital chastity rules which is obvious cheating and shocked me and now I will never see Mormons the same way ever again!  I also decided to forgive my parents for everything because no one is perfect and they did the best they could with what they had and with what they knew at the time and parenting doesn't come with a manual (it's on-the-job-training)and we all just do our best. Sadly my kids aren't so gracious to me but maybe one day if they have kids of their own they'll be more forgiving.

No emotional connections involved and i will not be rejected.-Lisa
