Things That Should Never Be...

 

Wow. I know it is late; but I was just about to be in a pleasant slumber when things kinda startled me, and now I am fully awake again... 

Don't worry, I fully intend on getting a night of complete shut-eye once I get this off my chest!!!

I know this may feel like it is coming out of left-field, but in recent months and years, these situations are become a regular thing; and something we all should prepare for.

I am not going to get into specifics, as to why I am writing this one tonight; especially since I wouldn't give the man any justice on writing about him. He was a mere neighbour I waved and said "Hey" to, that was the extent of our friendship. (It IS his story that is on my mind; therefore writing this blurb so late in the night)!!!

This man, like a few others before him (some of whom I was good friends with), have been found deceased in their homes. A couple of them had been found after days, or even WEEKS after their passing. I am sorry... that statistic alone blows my mind!!! 

As a neighbour, I knew there was a smell coming from his apartment BUT he lived right next to the garbabge chute; which has been functioning like shyt for months and months. I DID say several times, that it smells like death and he is dead... no one really listened to me; what do I know, right???

There was another one where the man was deceased on his toilet for a week. This one really hurt me, because he was always a decent man to me, and others. The sad part came through by the fact that HOW DID NO ONE MISS HIM???

I guess this once again made me face my own mortality. I live alone. My health isn't in the greatest shape and I am very much a home-body. Yes, I have kids and grandkids; but I don't have regular contact with them; let alone live in the same area as they do.

I just want to leave y'all with one thought...

Check on your loved ones. Don't leave the "I love yous" until tomorrow. Don't assume you have all the time in the world to catch up because everything can be gone in a heartbeat. Sorry, stuck in my head tonight

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
