Tulip's Tantrums

Unsurprisingly, Belarus is joining Russia and moving their military down to the Ukraine border. I wish we could pick up those families and transport them here. Our house could fit 2 or 3 families. I'm sure a large majority of Canadians would do the same. It's the same shit in every war, "No, no. We won't hit civilians." Then we hear under reported numbers of the lives lost. Not to mention the soldiers. How many thousands will die? Such a tragic atrocity. Where are you getting your information? I watch CNN and read BBC and Al Jazeera. Thus far they seem to be the most informative and cohesive bunch. Nothing western is worth watching. In the end, none of it is as real as if we were there, fighting for our lives. Strength be to the Ukrainians. I keep you in my heart and thoughts. For those of you who believe in a higher power, now is the time to pray.

Last week, Putin kept saying that he had no intention of invading Ukraine. Surprise! This week he bombs them. Biden has said the U.S. won't step in unless NATO countries are affected.How long until that happens? I just don't know. The Ukrainian people are in my heart and thoughts.

I'm sitting here sipping my tea, reading through my blog, flashing through memories. Snippets fly in and around my brain; so many things have happened over the years. Big and little events, private and intimate time with friends and family, crises, tears of joy and shattered hearts, dreams thought and planned out only to be squashed by someone or something that tears your dreams out of your heart and mind and throws them up to the universe to be lost forever. 'Whenever friends' are the best kind. You are both separate entities but when the shit hits the fan, you're there for one another. I called out to a friend yesterday. She answered. Through the digital world, I felt her arms around me, comforting me, letting me know she's always there, no matter what. How was I deemed worthy of her love and friendship? How fortunate that I reached out to her instead of someone else. I love you, C. Darrin is a tired man. He's on day 15, he's probably not going to get out

My perception of my life right now is that of a pinball table, from the perspective of the ball. This is the machine. You get one try.

Russia is harassing Ukraine, bypassing bullying and getting downright nasty. I don't know much of anything, but I think if Russia moves on Ukraine, then the US and Allies will move on Russia. Then China, North Korea and Japan will back Russia. Then who knows. Unfortunately, it won't end with all the kings horses putting things back together again. Covid-19 continues to run it's course. We're being told we're in an endemic now, so it's petering out. Why the hell did I get three shots in my arm if they did no good? I'm kinda pissed about this one. Now the government is starting to advertise a fourth booster. Ya right. I don't think this time. There was a huge convoy of rigs that started in Victoria, and trucks joined as they continued on to Ottawa. This was a week or so ago. There are still trucks and supporters there and the RCMP has said there will be arrests and charges laid. I was rooting them on. Anything to scare Trudeau and hopefully kick him in the

Omicron has come and is quickly petering out. Let's see what comes next. I'm getting tired of getting poked, that's for sure. I'm drawing a blank. Not that that is anything new. Alrighty. That is all.
