I guess I shall be writing this blog in two parts as it’s approaching
1 am now. I should be at least trying to go to bed to sleep. I miss my Hub when
he’s not here. At least my Son stayed home tonight as did Shamrock.
Do you feel like this, when you are on your own in the
house, it has a totally different sound to what it does when you are downstairs
writing knowing there are people upstairs totally silent? I mean, the kids are
as quiet as mice, not even creaking the floorboards. But the house isn’t as
quiet as it would be if they were out. Just an observation.
My Son has had a fun night with Waggatail. He’s been hyper
with her and she has loved it. It helped her to forget for a while the Little
Fella. Our LF is in a hotel room now with Hub. I hope Hub remembers to leave
the bathroom door open when he showers etc as when he closes it, LF decides to
help the maids and strips the bed. Nothing is torn, just no sheets at all are
left on the bed when Hub comes back into the room.
Well, is this the last night when we are half friendly with
Russia? They have just hours to go to explain themselves before some kind of
action will commence. We really do live in a dangerous scary world. And leaders
are becoming madder and are more controlling. Some nasty like dictators. My
experience in years gone by in Russia, I fear we are more at danger than what
we were in days of the so called cold war. We have gone beyond frosty, frozen
and hypothermia has for sure kicked in!
I just don’t know why a gas in the air can’t be sprayed by
huge helicopters that makes people calm as I am sure there is something being
done to make us more angry and aggressive.
Well, it is the next day now. I really didn’t sleep. It was
after four this morning when I checked the time and I was cold, so, tired and
just about to close my eyes. I went to bed on many thoughts as always but last
night was no exception. Someone on Facebook had the audacity to tell a man who
was going to be trained with his first guide dog, not to publish his life on
Facebook. Oh, my goodness. Who did she think she was or is? I think her
comments were the most patronising I have ever seen on Facebook and I just hope
that this man dumps her. Her language to him was despicable. She isn’t his
girlfriend or wife and even if she was, who is she to tell him what he can
publish and not? I only hope he sees this chance with his guide dog as a break
from her and a new chapter to his freedom. Of course, I had my say to her. And her
answer back was as equally as unintelligent and obscure as her first comment to
this guy. Thankfully he has plenty of good people to support him. It reminded
me though of times when I was weak and when you have those rare moments of
inspiration or positive energy, oh, it’s great. Sadly, for me they don’t last…
A blast from my past the other day, a really lovely friend
from school called me from a mobile of another mutual friend from the same
school. Gosh to hear her voice, she hasn’t changed. And, it was just like we
had never been apart for 35 years. I can say it was the most comfortable
conversation I just loved it. And I’m so very pleased she has found a true
friend in our mutual pal who is so lovely too. We all went through crap back
then, but we are survivors.
Before I go also on Facebook last night I had to chuckle as
someone was talking about a talk they gave at a school of young children. The
questions we get asked when we give talks is so funny. I’m sure the teachers
cringe, but we are used to it and in fact most of us like that part of the day
the most. The questions from the four and five-year olds are the best. Like one
child asked a man.
“What happened to your hair?””
Another question was does your dog brush themselves? Does
your dogs tail get tired of wagging? I was asked can my dog fly and the best
one. “When you are driving your car… How do you know when to stop?”” I just
answered I don’t drive. I wouldn’t be safe… Neither would anyone else be on the
roads…
But it’s not always children who make me laugh. Adults too!
I remember when I was at a lunch with my Husband. He was on
one table and I on another the two ladies opposite didn’t know Hub and I were
married. So, the blind lady said to the sighted person she was with… “How long
will he talk for? I want my dinner. I can’t hear him…”” (She was hard of
hearing) Then she said the best bit… “I’m sure that is the same man as last
year.”” Then the sighted person said. “No, this year the man is grey…””
Well, last year it was my Husband, obviously he has more
grey hairs now. Haha.
Take care and be in control of your own life.
