Shut Up, You Stupid Bird!

 


Ah, Spring. Not exactly here yet, but my living room window disagrees. It opened by itself today. I live in a house which was built in 1895. Some day I'll write about its former owners. The windows are original with the pulley and weights to open and close them. The one window has no lock so sometimes (like three in the morning) I will hear a screeching, as if a banshee has arrived and wants my soul. It takes me awhile to figure out it's the damn window. 

Oh, daylight savings time. What an evil idea. Who decided this diabolical 'thing' is a necessity? It shouldn't bother me because I no longer have to get up at five am to get ready for work. I can sleep. Ha! Sleep. I miss it. I've turned into an insomniac. One of my favorite Stephen King books is, 'Insomnia,' where Ralph, the main character, continues to wake up earlier and earlier until he is only getting three hours of sleep. That's me. So, I'll be awake when we spring ahead, me and the birdies.

Oh, hey,  speaking of birds, eggs are $5.97 at Walmart. Nope. Not yet. I bought plastic ones for Easter. 

That guy up there, sniffing the flowers was the beautiful Fitzwilliam. He crossed the bridge last Autumn. I miss him. I miss all my furry peeps.

Yeah, ok, you see what only three hours of sleep does. 

Let's enjoy the FAFO and our $6 cup of coffee.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
