I bought another orchid last weekend, couldn't resist the pink flowers and it was cheap. We've all been sick this past week with nasty bug, lots of congestion, coughing, and generally feeling like shit. My husband was the last to catch it and came home from work sick yesterday. Jack is of course all better now and full of energy. We handed out his birthday invitations at daycare this morning and I'm sure he'll be overstimulated for the next month, thinking about and planning his birthday party. Fun.
It's snowing today and we're supposed to get 10-20 cm. It's not terribly cold out, so I can still walk the dogs and enjoy the snow falling. As I sit here typing, I just saw a huge flock of Bohemian Waxwings swirling about. The Canadian geese have made an appearance which means spring is truly on its way.
I ended up getting lost in old photos on my computer. I chose the best of Jack and will have them printed off, for his photo album. Yes, I still have an old school photo album because I like turning the pages, and it will be something for him when he's grown, and my computer files have all disappeared.
I found this old photo of me and my first dog. I would have been ten or eleven at most.
I was going to write more about the manosphere, something I just learned about today, but I'm tired of sitting at my computer now. Have a good day everyone.
That is a very sweet picture of you and your dog. Look at your long legs! And your orchid is beautiful. If you have the technique down as to how to care for them and room for them, I think you should buy yourself one whenever you want it. You deserve that beautiful little reminder of all you do for others.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping my orchids survive. So far, so good:) I was always the tallest in my class until puberty and the boys started growing.
DeleteI loved that dog. He was my first but he only lived for about three years. He had back problems and he had to be put down. Even now it makes me cry.
Orchids are gorgeous - I don't buy them as I don't believe in plant cruelty!! I just don't have the potted plant knack at all, and orchids frighten the beegeebies out of me.
ReplyDeleteOrchids used to scare me but I realize now that they just like to be ignored and do their own thing. Most plants are like that really.
DeleteHey, I recognize those rubber flip-flops (or thongs as they were called then, but NOT NOW, LOL!). Didn't every Canadian kid wear those in the summer? I know I did!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Manosphere -- BARF! Nothing but incels, rapists, and women-hating Nazis.
Thongs is right. Everyone wore them from the last day of school in June, until the first day of school in September. And the summers were so long back when I was a kid:)
DeleteI didn't know there was a manosphere. I didn't realize men had it hard. Yes, that is sarcasm.
Manosphere. How sad is that.
ReplyDeleteSad is true.
DeleteI had to look up manosphere. Little dicked insecure incels.
ReplyDeleteI like you Andrew. Please tell me how you really feel:)
DeleteThose guys that drive huge, noisy trucks around, I imagine they all have little dicks too.
I too looked up manosphere, Wikipedia tells us: "The manosphere is a varied collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism." Well, that's certainly pathetic.
ReplyDeleteYep. Pathetic sounds accurate.
DeleteI'm so glad you bought that orchid! 😊❤️
ReplyDeleteMe too. Flowers make me happy.
DeleteSnow is OK as long as it's pretty and not too cold to go out in. (and temporary!) There is still so much *stuff* going around. Ugh! I'm glad that you're improving. Hope your husband is too!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold out this morning, -16C, but the sun is shining and by Monday it's supposed to be above freezing again, so we're ok. Just a blip in spring.
DeleteMy husband is guarding the couch right now poor guy. I'm feeling better but I have to stop taking that Nyquil, man that gives me weird dreams, or weirder dreams I should say:)
What a great photo! Your dog looks a little uncomfortable, though. LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice orchid. They do brighten up wintry days.
I don't have many photos of myself as a kid, people didn't take as many photos as we do today, that's for sure. And certainly not any selfies. I think the dog was trying to get away:)
DeleteI'm liking the orchids. Touch wood they survive.
That is such a cute photo of you and your first dog. I have no photos of me when I was a kid, they must be at my mother's house. That photo of the orchid is a great one. It captures all of the different colors. I looked up manosphere myself. The Felon and Mr. Musk Melon sound like they are adherents to the manosphere bro culture.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the trump and musk are founding members of the manosphere. Did you know that musk's dad fathered a child by his stepdaughter who was 42 years younger than him? Explains a lot I think.
DeleteThat does indeed explain a lot. Creepy.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteHow one can "enjoy the snow falling" is beyond me, maybe in a movie but in real life???
ReplyDeleteWhen it snows, the light is filtered, the noises are dampened down, and it's peaceful.
