10 cm.

I tried to take this photo of the snow at nightfall but it didn't work out. Oh, well.

We got 10 cm in total which is pretty good for the first snowfall of the season and we even broke a record for that day. It snowed a bit yesterday as well and it's still here today but supposed to get up to 8 C or so and rain(ugh! I prefer the snow to rain; at least it's pretty and rain is just gloomy, dull, and yuck) Thursday and will likely wash it all away but I enjoy it for as long as it does last and good things never do last for long.

I have also learned to enjoy the Little Things in life and also realized that the Small Things are also the best things in life, like now I can also enjoy sitting outside after sunset and enjoy looking at the snow sparkling and glistening in the moonlight.

The Simple Things bring the most joy.

It is true, that the best things in life really are free.

Beja doesn't like the snow though and refuses to go outside to go to the bathroom, even though I did shovel him a nice big clean, clear spot, so I guess he'll be peeing and shitting inside all winter( I think it's just too cold for him; yesterday it was - 3 C with a wind-chill of - 9 C) so I just hope he uses the pee pads I put down for him and not the carpet or floor. I remember back in the day for my Chihuahuas we didn't even have pee pads; we just used newspaper.

The snow is also that nice snow that crunches when you step on it and it reminded me of my childhood. I hope when I die and cross over to the Other Side that I can revisit and re-live those good times and happy memories.

Yesterday and today my stomach also hurts sooooooo baaaaaad it's easily a 7/10 on the pain scale and it feels like it's going to explode  and I honestly thought I was going to pass out from the pain, my god, it's just soooo bad, and today I'm also really dizzy as well and my back is really bad, too ,and my left arm,shoulder, and neck feel "tingly" and "numb"  as well making me wonder if I'm going to have a heart-attack.

I wouldn't be surprised if I did die of a heart-attack though my heart is so broken

and then Buddy died and it just can't take any more heartache.

Yesterday I also heard on Alexa Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry as I was listening to music and the lyrics, ....everything gonna be all right... when I really needed to hear it, making me think that Someone Up There sent that down to me at just the right moment to comfort and reassure me when I needed it the most, and today being Remembrance Day I pray for the innocent victims of war, and for peace and an end to all war.

I have discovered that talking to others about what happens in my life is indispensable and fills dark spaces with necessary light.-Dushka Zapata
