El Hermoso.

Good news! For the past few days Beja (AKA El Hermoso) has been coming around back to me again( although still only when the 31 YR old isn't around) he'll snuggle with me on the couch,  on my lap when I'm on the computer, follow me when I get up, and hang around  like he used to before and he's been good at telling me when he has to go out to pee,too, by standing in front of the door and looking at me like, Well....how about it? Let me out! It gives me hope once the 31 YR old( who stole him off me and always has him with him and up in his bedroom with him when he's home and lures him off me, even calling him, C'mon, Beja! moves out on campus( and even if not, is still busy with school) I will finally get my dog back!

 My hubby said he's applying for disability though from the concussion he got back in the summer which I think kind of conflicts; if he's "disabled" and has a TBI from the concussion how does he think he can possibly handle Med School?  It just all sounds "fishy" to me, so he's either trying to scam The System or else he really IS disabled and he's not really actually going , and it's just another one of his Tall Tales like always and he's perhaps maybe just going on Disability and moving in with his GF or something and just telling us he's studying? I really wouldn't put it past him, given how much he lies and all the Tall Tales he tells. 

I can't believe anything he says anymore.

I also collected photos of my fave. childhood toys I still fondly remember, that I got for Christmas(shown here) and above is the Thumbelina doll I got when I was around 4 and it was a very small doll, about the size of a TY Beanie Baby, but my hands were so small at the time so it didn't seem so small then. I loved that doll and I carried her around everyone and she was just the perfect size for me. I also loved the Spirograph  shown here which I could create cool art designs (I was always also into drawing, arts, and crafts things) and for that year I actually got two  of them as gifts from 2 different people so I just saved one and gave it away later as a birthday gift to a friend. I still remember I also got 2 of the game Buckeroo as well and did the same thing. I can also still remember 2 years in a row my Babushka giving me the same card of St. Lucia  with the wreath of candles on her head and it always made me laugh as I thought her hair could catch fire!

This was also one my all-time faves: Baby Alive. You could feed it special food and the mouth would actually move as it "chewed" and it would even shit the food out its ass and you had to clean the dirty diaper, like with a real baby. I think I must have been around 7 or 8 when I got this one. I also remember Baby Krissy  who was the size of an actual 9 month old baby and I could dress in real baby clothes . My ringworm is also almost gone now since I used the Athlete's Foot cream , and my friend's hubby in ICU with sepsis also had a kidney transplant a few years ago and not only that but now her father  is also in the ICU with sepsis and not doing well, and she's religious like I am and it always seems that people with a strong faith are always  hit with the most trauma and hardships  in life but God also gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers. The blogger in her mid-40's who is prego also just has one more month to go and she's been soooooo sick this time around( she wasn't with her other 5) she's been sick and throwing up every day for the entire 8 months! Ugh! At least with mine it was just for the first 3 months with each one and I thought that was bad enough, which it was.

I also got the ballerina Barbie  in 1976 when I was 9 and she came with a few tutus, some short, some long, incl. pink ones and they were just so pretty, and you hold on to the crown on the top of her head and she would spin around and I also got the gymnast Barbie  as well that even came with parallel bars. I can still remember visiting my aunt on Christmas and sitting on her livingroom floor playing with it. The other day I also had such a good nap when I woke up I thought it was morning and yesterday my stomach hurt sooooooooo bad as well I was also sick to my stomach and sweaty from the pain and it's snowing now; really coming down and it looks like a Winter Wonderland ,and this will also be my mother and Buddy's first Christmas on the Other Side and I hope they can watch over us and I also wonder if they can see now how sad I really am and how much I miss them?

I also liked Lite Brite  where you plugged in coloured lights and made different designs into what looked like a monitor or TV screen and I had the Easy Bake oven as well which cooked mini desserts using only a light bulb and the middle was always still raw! Yesterday the 31 YR old also had a bad headache and he kept rubbing his temples I hope he's just getting a cold or something and it's not complications from the concussion in the summer and he's such an uber genius he also threw out a fork in the garbage along with his cup of Mr. Noodles. 😂

This is Baby That-A-Way  which would crawl and was one of my all-time fave. toys. It took those big chunky D batteries like pretty well all toys did that the time.(batteries not incl, ha,ha) and I also remember my Stretch Armstrong  toy that they said stretched without breaking except they lied; mine stretched so hard the leg tore off and all the red goo inside got all hard.  I also wonder if the 31 YR old does really actually still have damage from his concussion if that's  actually the real reason why he lost his job( maybe he can no longer climb up high on ladders and scaffolding?) and not that the boss "broke the law?" but why not just say so instead of make up some story? There's no shame in being disabled; you can't help it! Another childhood Christmas memory is the Lifesavers "book" (shown below) I would get every year in my stocking. I don't even think they make those anymore.

So when the sun goes down And those nights grow colder I will be there Looking over your shoulder.-Whitesnake
