It’s been an interesting couple of days for me thats for sure. I’m thinkin my meds must be crazy off right now. Rage? Yes. Cussing? Oh yes! Potential homicide. Almost. (With a shovel no less).
Started with a delusional grown man looking me right in the face and lying and then trying to back pedal when he was called on it. Then went to trying to find creative ways to deal with a conniving, criminal con “person” then topped off with a wack job neighbour who feels it’s just ok to destroy other people’s property (yes, mine). People wonder why I drink! I’m pretty sure it took three hours to calm down from all the events of just this one day. Wanna know what my reality check finally was? (it could not have come at a better time). The youngest lad and I went to the local pet store to pick up cat food and, as always, we grab the bag of food then spend at least a half an hour admiring the cats in the adoption centre. It was there that we met an older lady who was looking at the cats behind the glass. She was talking to her husband about the cats in detail and I could not help myself and said “Oh my goodness are you getting a new cat?” It was then that she told me that her beloved cat had died a couple of days ago and she was so heartbroken that she came to the pet store today, stood in front of the window of adoptive cats and cried for a half an hour. She went on to tell us that she felt so lonely without her cat and the house just seemed empty. Ah ya, me – crying. Yes. I’m a loser. I was so upset for her. We had a brief chat and then they let her and her husband into the adoption centre (which apparently is somewhat akin to a bank vault because I think the two of them had to do a fingerprint and retina scan before they were let in.) The pet store lady came out a bit later to talk to me and the young man and I told her “Do not let that lady leave this store without a cat!” She completely understood.
Hello – reality check here. You know what: Dude: lie away. I don’t care (just try not to hurt people with your pathological lying – like little kids). Crazy neighbour – whatever, its just my yard, the lawn and the trees you keep trying to destroy will grow back - eventually – if I get mad you win and your not winning. (The Criminal is still un-nerving – will leave this one alone for now). Not angry anymore. Not when there is a kind lady out there grieving for her little buddy and I have two of my own.
Lesson of the day – lots of people suck. And then some don’t.
