Eclipse Day.

Today is the long-awaited, hyped eclipse day and possibly even the end of the world and just in case, just as a cowboy dies with his boots on I'm going to die with my Converse Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops on, it's my fave. shoes and my signature shoes, like my Van's beloved checkered shoes that have been to 39 countries with me. It's exciting though to think this could be The Day and with all the rampant sin, war, hate, racism, crime, violence,etc. the world desperately needs a re-set (humanity does need a good slap upside the head)and,in fact, if nothing happens and we're still all here tomorrow I have to say that I will actually be disappointed. My hubby was also mocking me saying, Oh, and there will also the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse in chariots coming down from the sky...in a sarcastic tone(but remember they laughed at Noah,too, until it began to rain)....but you never know; it is going to happen someday  when you least expect it and the signs are here, that we're close, so you never know....

I also visited my mother yesterday and the resident parrots at the LTC home were all riled up and the noisiest I've ever heard them, probably sensing something is happening as animals can sense changes in the atmosphere and it makes me wonder as well how Buddy might react today with the eclipse, and I can't visit her for 2 weeks now since my hubby has to work next Sunday and when I left I told her I'll see her in 2 weeks unless the world ends today and then I'll see her today on the Other Side. She also now has one of those "ding" bells like they have at hotels or stores to ring for service,too, along with the regular nurse's call bell because the call bell doesn't reach when she's sitting in her chair and she also sometimes just yells out to them passing by in the hall for stuff,too, which I'm sure they must just "love."

I also woke up from my nap yesterday with this weird imprint on my arm, on my  right wrist I thought was kind of cool and it looks sort of like a shamrock or a flower, and I got some pretty purple carnations for my mother yesterday as well and wanted to get a photo but of course it didn't work with my "luck" and my hubby and the 17 YR old both berated and made fun of me too saying I "always make things harder"(because I'm dumb) such as not "tapping" my credit card but having to insert it into the slot and putting in my PIN number instead because the tapping for some reason never works for me and not going to the self check-out at the stores but having to stand in line(which takes longer) having a clerk ring it up for me because those self check-outs never work for me and I always have to get someone to come over and help me ,anyway(just like I can never get the self-serve kiosks at the airport to work either to get my boarding pass or for the customs thing on the way back and always need help) electronics and hi-tech just don't work  for me and just because things come easy and work for them they just don't get it that it's NOT like that for everyone and don't understand how everything is hard for me and how much I struggle with everything all the time and I don't appreciate always being told, reminded, and mocked, for it.

For pretty much most of May my hubby is also away every weekend, either at his niece's wedding in Niagara Falls, or playing chess on the American side of the Falls, or in Toronto or in NY so I don't know how often I'll get to visit my mother, but at least he'll be out of my hair....unless, of course, today is everyone's last day on Earth ( even though it's unlikely) and then nothing matters anymore anyway. Yesterday I was also sitting out on the back porch with the door open and I smelled yummy food wafting by I thought must be one of the neighbours cooking and then realized it was my own food I was smelling, the Butter Chicken I had cooking in the oven! HA! I also heard it takes 4 days by train to get from one end of the country to the other! Ho-ly shit! So, if today is the last day I bid some of you adieu and the rest of you a f*ck you(and you know who you are.)
