Conversations with my family pt. 98
I went to order the shirt- it is a kids 🙁 COSTCO SIZE MOVIE SNACKS! Maybe I will go get pink, yellow and soft green! Huh…. I forgot about the dancing / singing cow until now. Guess I better get to Canadian Tire! -
🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻
H loves Halloween and the IDEA of scary movies – like she loves the characters. She hasn’t exactly watched scary movies.
In July she drew the following:
Which she decided needed a touch up…..
Apparently her serial killers needed to have a victim and a tagline…. “Come here!”
Dharma relayed the following conversation about me going over to carve pumpkins between her and H.
H – I want my pumpkin to be a cat.
Dharma – I’m not sure gramma and I can do that.
H – Gampa can. He is a good pumpkin carver.
Dharma – Gampa is busy tomorrow.
H – Busy doing what? Did he retire from pumpkin carving?
Dharma – 😂As for the actual pumpkin carving…… there were two pumpkins, Dharma cut opening the tops before I got there. H and I (which means me) cleaned them out. H decided what she wanted on each pumpkin. A typical jack o’ lantern face that Dharma drew and had to carve and a cat face that I drew and had to carve. H makes an exceptional supervisor.
Happy Halloween Peeps!
Parents – don’t forget to charge candy tax for checking the candy is safe to eat!

H very quickly learned how to get me to buy her “something” even when it is very clearly stated it is not on the list!
OMG 🤦🏻♀️ H…….
Nothing better than having perimenopause brain while texting with a woman whom has already gone through it!

Oof…. I have been delinquent in posting!
H was taking a hard stance in her opinion on bugs vs insects. 
Sadly crows did not want to be my friend, they have not returned.
🙁
Insane that I have owned laundry baskets for almost 20 years! 
Yes we have discussed our death plan with the kids.
I will NOT be going into an old peoples home.
FANNY ANNIE 🤣 The following are various conversations from when Don and I took Steph and H to the cottage for the weekend…..
FUCKING GRANNY! Dang kid. 
The next day I got the snoring on voice memo! -
Things that spoke to me pt. 98
I have a person in my life that needs to read this and then read it again, until it becomes her mantra. 
Yep. Eff running…. 
I grew up in a house that believed “I will sleep when I am dead”. My siblings and I were raised to be work horses.
The only time we got a day of rest is if we were sick.
I say eff that shit. Spent a weekend away with the girls and your social cup is overflowing – spend a day couch rotting. Or doing whatever it is that makes you feel inner peace in your heart.
I have this. I am very grateful for her. 
No fucking joke.

Conversations with my family pt. 95
Good thing we live in the country with the perimeter of our yard surrounded by trees.. 🤦🏻♀️
As my mom would say “shameless hussy”
Clearly Dharma is a 90 year old lady with all her “oh dear”comments
👵🏻
Quick follow up to this very long banter between my mini me and me. Dharma has to get her wisdom teeth, the one causing her so much pain is coming in sideways, is impacted so her cheek will need to be cut from her gum line and the tooth broke to be taken out in pieces….. That will be fun to heal from.👎🏻

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈🐾
Today I found it is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.
My experience with pets crossing the rainbow bridge started in 2014. In the last 12 years I have had my heart broke 10 tens. Yet I keep adding to the funny farm. To honour the ones that I have crossed:
Cinna – a sweet ol’ man that I had far too short.
The cat that made me realize I wanted a lap cat.
He was always next to me.
Hubble – the sassiest pet we owned. He would chase the dogs off their bed! 
Maggie – our first family pet.
She slept with Dharma every night until Maggie had knee surgery and could no longer get up on the bed.
Stinker AKA Fat Bastard. He was the alpha of the funny farm. He disliked everyone and everything except Dharma. He would let her dress him up in her dolls clothes. 
Katey – the chinchilla that lived for 18 years! 
My sweet lil Mini…. As in Mini Maggie.
She was so heartbroken when Maggie passed, she didn’t eat for three days!
Murphy. My first boy dog. Ohhhh boy dog energy is very different than girl dog energy.
This big goof I got from the local humane society, loved him the minute I saw him. Don was hesitant “look at the size of his paws! Do you know how big he is going to get?” Nope I didn’t know, and I didn’t care. I wanted him.
At eight months old I found out that his disabilities would shorten his life. The vet said I would be lucky if he saw three years old. With the help of CBD oil, I got him to four. Sadly cancer got him. He crossed the rainbow bridge with Mini.
Venti – the old lady.
She came home with me from the humane society because she was 12 years old, black, fat and had four teeth. She was in the humane society because her owner was in palliative care. She was there for two months. I knew she had to come home with me to live out whatever life she had left being treated like a queen. Just over one year I had her for.
💕Yeti💕 my soul cat.
I swear he was my emotional support animal. I just didn’t know it until he was gone.
Macchiato. I wanted a Chow-Chow for 20 years!
She was such a lil snob! She didn’t want strangers touching her, but she could touch them. She loved to snuggle with me.
Addison Disease cut her life short. She passed just before her third birthday.♥️ If you are remembering a special fur-baby or babies, please share your story ♥️

This really made sense to me. 
Sensing a theme…. 🤔 
🤣 lightly monitored feral creatures. 
Very true. I wish you no ill will. 
Ugh to be a cat… am I right?!
