Skunks, Walmart, and Angry Fibro
Saturday, October 24, 2009 4:26:41 AM
Things have been kind of busy here off and on.
Yesterday my dad was able to stop by to visit for a few hours.
We had a nice lunch out and chattered on until it was time for him to leave. He looked well.
My mom was unable to come as she was in a class.
It's so cold here all of a sudden!! BBRRR As expected the fibro is yelling at me, as if I can do anything about the weather.
Stupid Fibro. So, hurrahh, I feel like someone pushed me down that rocky hill again. That's always enjoyable. Hermit has been working nonstop. He worked from 7am Thursday until 2pm Friday -- TODAY. Fortunately he gets to rest until 7am tomorrow and then his lazy bum has to get back to work.
He's been asleep since 3pm and will probably sleep all through the night. I hope so, he sure needs it! 
Last night, of course this happens while I'm alone, some dog was in between my neighbor's house and mine barking like mad at 2am. I turned on the back light but couldn't see anything. I wasn't going out there to look because all of the dogs in my neighborhood are confined so who knows what dog this was. My neighbor, who lives alone and is much braver than I, ventured out a ways to see, but went back in and texted me after seeing my porch light come on. We still don't know what THAT was about, BUT there is a strong skunk smell in between our houses now. It stinks outside. P-hewww! I was afraid maybe her dogs got sprayed but they did not. Perhaps that is what the roaming canine was going on about.
When Hermit got home today he told me of some things he needed to replenish his nonperishable food stash in his work truck. So I drug myself over to Walmart to buy some things. I really did not feel like it but after the hours he puts in, I don't feel my problems are excuse enough NOT to go. So anyway, I started thinking of the People Of Walmart website.
I wasn't qualified to grace that website but I was looking a bit funky. I rarely go out with no makeup, but today was one of those days. Pull the baseball cap down low, dab on a bit of concealer, made sure I had clothes on and that they matched, and off I went. I saw a few folks who might make it on those pages but felt it rude to try and snap a photo. Most were only sloppy and needed to brush their hair. One woman walked by and her son started screaming, rendering me temporarily deaf in my left ear (hey, it's ok lady, no need to apologize then or later when you and your brood of FIVE stood in my way for several minutes). The one worth mentioning was the man with the scraggily goatee and long white afro, tamed only by a dirty baseball cap. Not an attractive look! 
I saw some of our international friends (from the university) dressed in their native clothing.
I find this so interesting. Women in full black burkas, totally covered.
Others in Indian looking clothing similar to this shirt.
The two women I saw were wearing much prettier colored shirts than this though.
Tonight I am watching movies and cuddling with the dogs. I'd cuddle with Hermit but he's sound asleep and snoring and rolling.
I'd like to say a big HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY to my little pal Cody

and HAPPY
BIRTHDAY to his dad! 
Also, Thank you for having a Birthday party so I can have cake tomorrow! YAY!

You always wear makeup? I think that girls here only wear it when going out for a night on the tiles, but I'm probably wrong
I went to state-run Swedish classes here, with folk from all over the world (well, no English, no South African, one American who pretended to be Croatian out of ungrounded fear of the muslimsin the class, but as from the rest of the world as small classes can be

I have nearly made it out of the building at work with-out shoes a couple of times.
Just going to go and take a cold shower now.

But it'd have to be like, a Walmart burka, so a lovely leopard print one will be amazing!
