New Sunday Funday blog
Well, it’s been a bit since I’ve written a brand new blog. It’s Sunday and I’m feeling pretty good. The weather today is going to hit 36C which is about 94 or 96 degrees in American. My sweet daughter-in-law always says “What is that in Canadian?” when I relate the temps here in Degrees. It has been hot and we’ll probably break 100 degrees today. This is a little too hot for me but we have the pool.
I’m booked to head home soon, so I’m sure I’ll get a rude awakening. My daughter sent me a picture from the lake last weekend and the snow was piled high on everything! I panicked… shit, I bought a cheap airfare ticket with no cancellation policy! Another friend on Facebook told me not to rush home just yet, and that didn’t help either.
So here I am sitting outside on my patio and enjoying the gorgeous morning, my tree/bush is full of beautiful white blossoms, and gives me a thrill every time I look at it. This is the part I love the most: I can sit outside most mornings while enjoying my coffee and writing, or just daydreaming. Loving every minute of this experience. The three keywords are “sitting outside” no flies, mosquitos, or bugs.
I’ve lived a long time, and I enjoy these little things the most. Sure I can sit outside at home in Canada but NOT every day. We have shitty weather and I love my country BUT it’s not sitting outside everyday kind of weather. But, on a positive note, we don’t have a Trump to worry about. Before any of my countrymen comment on Justin, be aware I like him… sorry/not sorry : ) Count your blessings, trust me on this.
Politics and the world situation are hard to ignore, and I get pretty passionate about these issues. I need to disengage, coming home will be a relief from having to endure everything Trump, every single day here. My only consolation is my gut feeling that Americans will do the right thing come November. I also hope that Ukraine will finally be free and that Israel settles its conflicts as well.
My son has a birthday today and I’m missing out again. My daughter’s birthday was last week and I missed a big party at the lake to celebrate that one as well. I’ve decided to go home earlier, weather be damned, next year. I miss my kids and I’m homesick for them. I’m also somewhat alarmed at how fast the time is rushing by. All of you younger ones reading this need to know this, we only have today. OMG, look what appeared on my page! I’m the one that needs to see and hear this… lol. YESSSSSSSS…..
Happy birthday to my son. Life is always what you make of it, please take the time to do the things you want to do sooner, rather than later. AND always take care of your mother because she loves you the most. This goes for my daughter as well, I love you the most, and I’m so happy about your recent announcement.
Okay, now where was I? Oh right, I was having a little angst about coming home to shitty weather. Well so much for that, eh? My significant other will be accompanying me home for a couple of weeks, alas he will have to go back home because he still works. So dating someone younger does have a few pitfalls. He hates cold weather too, but he loves me, so there’s that.
He surprised me once again with flowers yesterday, and this never gets old. I’m pretty lucky, and I never foresaw in my wildest dreams how this is playing out. He lets me be myself and doesn’t try to change me, well maybe he tries once in a while, but it’s not gonna happen. I also keep myself from changing him, well… except for his driving habits. I swear I am gonna die in an accident he caused by his driving, but then my daughter says that I’m the worst driver ever, so once again, there’s that.
I’m happiest when with him, and my life feels better, I’m going to miss him when he goes back. But this is today, and I’m outside sipping my morning coffee and writing this blog. He will be picking me up later for church (yep, I go willingly, to be with him) and the roof didn’t fall in on me, it’s a private joke ; )
So time is flying by faster than I’d like but, I’m still on this side of the dirt and going to enjoy the piss outta today, what say you?
the end… or is it?
