Fishmas.

It's still raining and it's been a whole week so far and it's feeling like monsoon season in India! It's supposed to clear up on Tuesday(hopefully!) and I can finally get outside and maybe, just maybe Tony The Fence can finally  come by as well and start working on our fence which I imagine will probably take 1-2 weeks to do. One of my cousins in Europe(and her hubby) is also in Egypt again on vacation( her third time) but that's actually one place I went to I'd never go back and was disappointed in( as well as Finland) due to the beggars always pestering coming up for baksheesh, and esp. the kids, it was so heartbreaking and annoying, and the poverty was just heartbreaking as well and 42 C was too hot as well even for me. She just stays at resorts though and never saw any of that whereas I did the tourist thing( and I was in Cairo, Luxor, Alexandria, Giza, and Sharm-al-Sheik) doing the Pyramids, archaeological  sites,museums, etc. and they tend to congregate in tourist areas.

Yesterday my hubby and the 18 YR old also went for a walk and were next to a big puddle and a car came by and splashed them and they got this huge "soaker" and were drenched, ha,ha! I guess that's what you get though for being stupid enough to go out in the rain to begin with! Beja also has what looks like eczema under his neck he keeps scratching as well so he must have some food allergy and I remember Buddy's friends' hooman saying one of his dog's is allergic to chicken but Beja's had that for awhile and been ok but the past couple of days I've been giving him naan bread( which he loves) so maybe it's that? Maybe it's the gluten or something? He fights me trying to put cream on it too so I just have to try and "sneak" it on and have it hidden on my finger when he thinks I'm just petting him and secretly rub it on, heh, heh.

Next Saturday my hubby and the youngest are also in Toronto for the soon-to-be 26 YR old's Fish Appreciation Day party(I dubbed Fishmas ,like fish and Christmas...get it?) where they even bought special "fish" hats( which are actually sharks) and she even made fish T-shirts for everybody,too, and the 30 YR old was going to go(I'm actually surprised he'd go all the way to Toronto just for something silly like that) but he'd already committed himself to going to someone's going away party) but it gives me the whole day alone with just Beja, so a nice quiet relaxing day by myself, so like a day off and a mini "vacation"  for me,too, and I don't have to cook either with no one else here and I'll just make whatever for me.I also decided if I'm ever widowed or divorced I likely won't look for anyone again either because I'm the kind of person that's better on my own plus I also don't want to ruin some poor guy's life,either.

 Yesterday I also saw something half the size of Beja and black quickly scurry across the livingroom( and he was barking at it,too, so I know I didn't just imagine it) so what was it? A small squirrel or a rat maybe? It was much bigger than a mouse and maybe it was whatever came in from outside thru that hole something dug from the outside? The California radio station I listen to is also having a "marathon"  all weekend being a holiday (Memorial Day) in USA and they play 2-3 songs in a row of the same artists as well as deep cuts and hidden gems and live cuts and no, I don't feel "guilty" listening to an American station either( here they try and make you feel guilty for buying American stuff) as I don't have to pay a tariff on it.
