Weekend Update.

He lied.

My hubby lied and told me he'd taken down all  the outdoor Christmas lights yesterday but when I was sitting out on the front veranda smoking mi ganja (normally I do it in the backyard on the porch except it was raining and I needed more shelter) I saw THIS (pictured above): lights still left on a window as well as on another one as well! He didn't take them all  down! When I asked him about it he says he "couldn't reach them". Yeah, right! Then if he can't reach them how did he put them up  in the first  place? Well, they're NOT staying up there until spring, I'll take them down myself if I have to if he won't; I'll just stand up on a chair and hook them onto something long I can reach out and up with to unhook them with, like a broom or something. It's just tacky to leave them up.

 I also heard Stairway To Heaven again on the radio yesterday and the DJ said Happy Saturday and I was like, Wait....what? Today's Saturday? I thought it was Friday!  My new weed must be some really good stuff! 

Yesterday Beja also kept barking at the light-up snowmen that my hubby had taken down from the front and left in the foyer, knowing it was something new and different that didn't belong there and he didn't like it, and he also hogged up 95% of my pillow as well, leaving me just 5% to lay my head on.

My hubby also got us 3 new towels to make up for us being short, only he somehow managed to get the ugliest colours possible so I don't know if that's all the store had, or (most likely) they were the ones on sale,but even if so then you still don't buy it; you just go look at another store, and I guess the lesson here is to never  trust a guy  to buy any housewares , and he dropped off the 31 YR old's blanket and said he's doing well at his course and is enjoying it but he said it's "harder than he expected" ( well, duh, it's Pre-Med, what did he expect?) and already had a few tests and half the class already dropped out, and he's made 6 friends already as well and it's only been a week but he's always  made friends easily( the complete opposite of me) and I'm glad he's happy there and doing well. It's also nice here with Beja back to hanging out with me again and he's so small too his balls are the size of peanuts. I can also feel the dark cloud and heavy fog of grief starting to lift a bit after my mother's death 13 months ago and Buddy's 9 months ago and it feels like a bit of light is starting to peek thru the cracks.

There was also this rumour North Korea was going to attack USA and I doubt it but good on them if they DO; they deserve to know how being invaded feels like( and why don't they also kidnap Trump too while they're at it) and now North Korea having nukes  for defence wasn't so "crazy" afterall, was it? The gov't here also issued a travel advisory warning against going to Iran due to the crackdown on protesters( although what can they really say  about "human rights violations" in other countries after the Covid protests  and Martial Law and people here were trampled by horses, arrested, had their bank accounts frozen, were fired, etc.) and so now I guess I have to cross Iran off my list for my next potential vacation spot, although I doubt people are exactly flocking in droves to Iran for a vacation , and I think it's USA rather than Iran that shouldn't have the nukes as well. I also can't believe it's been 10 years already since David Bowie died and my hubby goes, I didn't even know he died!
