The Epic Journey.

I didn't know(until I heard it on the news) it's a long holiday weekend. Apparantly it's come civic holiday on Monday so I guess some gov't beurocrat decided we didn't have a holiday in August so they decided to make one so my hubby and the 30 year old have the day off Monday. The 30 YR old is also off an epic journey in Toronto for 4 days with his GF and they'll be visiting the 26 YR old who now lives there and the 29 YR old is also coming up,too. All the BF's will also be coming as well so it will be 3 couples. I still can't believe how he asks me to monitor Beja's playtime to ensure he gets the 2 hours a day stimulation. I don't set a timer or anything(if you have to document and record things it becomes more of a chore); we just live in the moment and have fun but now it's started a new thing where I jokingly say to him when we play, It's time to stimulate you now!  and Are you being stimulated? and then I laugh because it almost sounds obscene. Most of his toys are also flat furry squeaky animals that look like roadkill or wall hangings. He also purposely does this cute stretch( pictured above) to get attention because every time he does I croon how cute he is. He's a real ham! I also think the white mark on his lower back kind of looks like a heart.

Yesterday as I was sitting at my computer I also felt a cold wet nose and soft warm fur brush by my leg and I assumed it was Beja but he wasn't there( he was in the other room mooching food off my hubby)....so I wonder if it was maybe even Buddy stopping by for a visit from the Other Side? I'd like to think so and I don't know what else it would have been and in 5 days it will be 4 months since he died,too, and at the end of the month( on the 28th) it will also be 8 months already since my mother died. Yesterday Beja was also all worked up out in the yard and the fur on his back kept going up and he'd bark like crazy, telling me that something was in the yard but I never saw anything other than the usual birds and squirrels....

.until bedtime...... 

and then I finally saw it:

a big skunk!

It was huge! A really BIG sucker!

I saw it waddling in the yard and even in the dark I know it was a skunk and not a raccoon as it was smaller, "flatter" and  shorter to the ground and had a much bigger wider fluffier tail  that "fanned" out ,and it had stripes on it, not rings.

Holy f*ck, and I called Beja back  really quick and we ran inside!

My cousin also said her hot air balloon ride in Morocco costs much less than it would back home in Europe (which in Europe is still less than here at 300-400$ each) and it was only 130$ and that even incl. breakfast! I also noticed last night( I still have today,too) a dime-sized round squishy lump on the top of my right hand above the wrist(with a big dent/dimple beside it) I wonder might be a ganglion cyst like my friend A had in highschool and I also have Pitting Edema on my hands now my edema is so bad so most likely either indicative of kidney, liver, or heart issues( or maybe all 3?) and the good thing about suicide as well is at least you get to go out on your own terms and your own way and I just wish that I had a gas oven like Sylvia Plath.

Weekend Words.

Even if they are family.

Buddy always and forever.

People come and go. Dogs are loyal.

Does anyone else truly enjoy being at home? In your own space. Comfortable. Not surrounded by people.-Azure

Musing For Today.

 

Up,Up, And Away.

My cousin who is in Morocco on holiday got to cross an item off her Bucket List:going up in a hot air balloon( her photos are shown here). She said they went up for almost an hour. That's something I've always wanted to do as well but it's just sooooo expensive. Yesterday was also a nice day and I got to suntan for 4 hours now it's finally not so humid(and it's just 12 C this morning but going up to 24C) but Beja was actually cold and he was shivering and I had to wrap him up in my T-shirt(I suntan topless) and I cut his nails again and he did better but still squirms and tries to bite and one time I missed and accidently cut the 'quick" on his "thumb" and it bled and then I felt really bad. Asshole Trump also imposed a 35% tariff on goods from Canada now( other countries it's a 15%) and threatened that trade talks will be difficult now Canada supports a Palestinian state, which sounds an awful lot like blackmail to me.

I really hate  that f*cker.

I hope someone assassinates that guy ,and fast.

The 30 YR old is also taking a 2 day course in Toronto to do false eyelashes, you know, the kind that looks like giraffe..

Yes, you read that right.

I couldn't believe it at first,either....and it costs 3500$!

Where the f*ck does he get that kind of $$$ from though? That's what really worries me; is he into something illegal on the side? The reason: his GF gets her lashes done every 2 weeks( at a whopping cost of 150$-200$ each time: where does she get the $$$ from, esp. when she doesn't work; does she have an Only Fans or something as a side hustle?) and they did it wrong last time so now he decided to learn it so he can do it for her....and make some $$$ on the side.

Whaaaaat? Really?

But, really, though, what the f*ck? You can stay a week at a resort for less than  that.

Last night up in bed my right side and abdomenal pain was also so bad I thought it was finally The End,too, but sadly I'm still here.

The 30 YR old also informed me, in all his all-knowing wisdom, that a vet told him the reason Beja steals socks(even though he also steals underwear, towels.toilet paper, popsicle sticks, etc. and he's just a playful PUPPY) is because he's "not stimulated enough" and I "need to play with him more; 2 hours a day at least" even though he's played with almost constantly and you can't do it 24/7; you still have to do other things, and if he wants to get all psychological on me and dig deeper it's only HIS socks he takes so maybe it's him he wants to play with more( esp. since he's hardly ever home) but it still makes me feel inadequate once again(like always) like I'm not doing enough, like I'm failing once again and not meeting expectations, never good enough, always falling short.

So "thanks" for that.

I really "needed" that.

My hubby is also so uncouth and uncultured he drinks right out of the milk carton and tips bowls up and slurps the left-over liquid(instead of, you know, using a spoon to politely scoop it up) and I asked him if he would still act like that if he had dinner with the Queen or the Pope and he said he would. I swear if he took a DNA test they'd find Neanderthal DNA.
