The Sounds Of Summer.

Look at the cool shadow the vines made on the canopy! It made a nice pattern the way the sun hit on it yesterday so I got this cool photo. Pretty neat, huh? Yesterday was also a good outside day all day and I got to enjoy the sound of cicadas but I noticed I haven't heard any crickets( a sound I also love, reminding me of the cottage when I was a kid) yet this summer which surprises me since we live out in cottage country! I just love the sounds of summer. Today it's also supposed to get up to 34 C and feel like 44C so I don't know how long I can be out today! Yesterday I also thought I was in some sort of time warp or something,too as I could have sworn it was Wednesday.....except I noticed the garbage & recycling had been put out on the curb for pick-up which isn't supposed to be until Thursday......so at first I thought the 18 YR old must have got the days wrong and put them out a day early......

until I noticed they'd already picked up the recycling.

So then I thought maybe I must have got the days wrong although I was pretty sure it was Wednesday, so then I wondered if I maybe somehow time travelled and went a day ahead into the future. I was really confused but my hubby solved the mystery for me:

It turned out that the township had switched pick-up days starting this week from Thursday to Wednesdays now only no one told me. I'm always the last to know/ find out anything.

HA!

I was also having trouble with the TV trying to get the news on last night  and it wouldn't let me switch over to live TV and my hubby was playing chess(like always) and wouldn't come help me and just told me to put new batteries in the remote so I tried.....except I couldn't figure out how to get the damn thing open so I had to run all the way upstairs to bring it to him, all out of breath, so he opened it....but then I couldn't get the batteries in, they kept popping out......so upstairs I ran again for him to do it, even more out of breath....and it still didn't work even with new batteries. It would have just been easier if he'd just come down and helped me to begin with  in the first place like I asked him to but for me it's not worth the effort..

The youngest also called me a "moron" and the kids have seen over the decades how both my mother and hubby always devalue, demean, abuse, dismiss, belittle, invalidate, exclude, undermine, etc. me over the decades and just copy how they treat me, and I got a comment on Twitter  the other day as well calling me Poop Mahone (my screenname is Pogue Mahone) and it sounds like something dumb one of my kids would say,esp. the youngest. Beja also tried to eat a small snail(in it's shell) in the yard and I didn't know he likes escargot( ha,ha) and had such refined taste, esp. for a guy who licks his ass, and my Irish friend is suicidal again and he set himself on fire a few years ago as well in a suicide attempt too but like me it failed( I don't know HOW that wouldn't work but I guess God still has plans for him,too) and yesterday I got a suicide "warning/alert" from Facebook as well even though I don't think I posted anything concerning, but maybe the See you on the Other Side quote for Ozzy Osbourne concerned someone enough to report it, even though it's just the name of one of his songs.

.I still can't envision a world without Ozzy and Eddie Van Halen.

and Tom Petty.

The 30 YR old also now spends most of his time at his GF's house so I don't know why they don't just get married and move in together and I found something called a Reverse Mortgage where I can take out a loan based on my house( which is all paid off) and use that to live off for the remainder of my life and then the lender gets the house when I die which would give me an income to live off and to pay my bills and other expenses and I still get to keep my house and that way my hubby also can't sell it from under me. It would also give me an income if my hubby decides to split once the youngest leaves home.The only thing is there won't be anything to leave my heirs but my kids don't acknowledge me now so they really don't deserve anything once I'm gone,either, though.
