For the love of Dorothy

Dorothy

I have mentioned Dorothy a couple of times but haven't formally introduced her. Now this is an old photograph and she isn't so pretty any longer, primarily due to her advancing years but also because she now has only one eye. The other was fell victim to an unfortunate accident involving a puppy who was determined to scratch them out.  Sadly I was only able to save the left eye and the right was removed around two years ago.  She copes brilliantly except for in the dark when her distance perception becomes limited.  She is also a little more clingy than before, although I put that down to the fact that I'm so lovable. You know it's true.

Sundays are incredibly dull here and besides a little conversation with the neighbours over the garden fence whilst vacuuming the leaves of grassI haven't seen or spoken to a soul.  I beg your pardon, for there was a knock on the door this morning that disturbed me from my least favourite chore of washing up. I "skipped" through to the hallway, opened the door and I am pretty sure the smile fell from my face with an audible thud.  Standing there was another neighbour, who also happens to be someone I dated years ago for a very brief time.  "Oh" I said, "What can I do for you?".  "Are you OK?" was his reply.  "Yes thanks, but I'm busy" and promptly shut the door in his face. I smiled all the way back to the sink and then the smile slipped away.  I have no time for dickheads in my life, despite the fact I have plenty of time available.  I'd rather be washing dishes.

Tonight I shall spend in front of the TV absorbed in whatever films happen to be on.  I am sure that I'll be in bed before I turn into a pumpkin or before Dorothy demands to be taken to bed. I swear she thinks she may "get lucky".  More chance of your eye growing back my darling girl.

    Hello Guys! I am Julia moreton. I live in Uk I’m 42 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Calvin Grayson. My blank ATM card can withdraw £5,500 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about £350,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machine and there is no name on it because it is blank, just your PIN Only. It is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on. I am really glad and happy I met Calvin Grayson because I met Five people before him and they could not help me. But I am happy now Calvin Grayson sent the card through UPS and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for an affordable fee to help the poor even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Calvin Grayson because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news if you are interested in getting yours : email: officialblankatmservice@gmail.com or WhatsApp +447937001817

Christmas is almost upon us and there's the stench of frantic preparation in the air.  The roads are busier than usual, the shops are full of heaving trolleys and the people on the streets are barking their festive greetings at one another.  In a little over a week this rigmarole will be repeated for the welcoming of the new year.  You may call me a cynic for believing that this is mostly false sentiment of the masses.  Their goodwill lasts as long as it takes for their good wishes to fall from their lips.  They walk past those in need as quickly and as ignorantly as they did yesterday, and the days before that. It makes my piss boil.  I do my best with what little I have but it's a mere drop in the ocean when fighting the injustice of what's purported to be civilised society.  As a child had I known what I know now about mankind my life would have taken a very different path.  I'm not claiming to be a saint or wise man, nor am I of the false...

Catching up

Image
It always feels good to catch up on stuff that has been waiting around in the mire that is our minds.  Over the past week it seems that catching up is all I have done, with both my own chores and those of other people.  The worst of those neglected tasks was assisting a friend who had become long overdue in handing in coursework for a qualification, a task that I was told about last Wednesday and had to be completed by Sunday night.  She had scarcely begun the process, was feeling desperate and eventually reached out to me for help.  I agreed, she came over to mine and we made a start on what at first seemed quite a simple job but that illusion was soon shattered. I then spent the next four days attempting to dissect the information given by the examining body, written in a language that seemed alien. Three course units later it was finally completed yesterday on my own whilst my friend was in work.  I am always happy to help people, but I think it's the la...

Expectations and Disappointments

Image
I'm not one for expecting much of people because of the resulting disappointment that so often occurs, however I do expect some courtesy from those I choose to have access to my life.  This past week has definitely been one for mild disappointment from that small expectation of my fellow human beings. I am left questioning myself: is it something that I have done to warrant such disregard for my time? I don't think it is , so the only answer that I have come up with is that some people are simply rude and/or ignorant of the impact they can have on others. I'll cope with it, like I always have, but I must say that it hurts just a little bit.  I know for sure that one person in particular won't have the opportunity to let me down again for I  have closed down all methods of them communicating with me, bar them writing a letter which would go in the recycling bin. I have not asked for or expect an explanation or an apology from them, and equally I won't give them ...
