Day 9

Hello everyone and hope we are all doing well and staying safe at home. I guess I was under a rock because I got the word this morning that we are in it for another month and forget about the financial strain, my waistline cannot handle it. One of the first things that happened to me this morning is I got an alert from a so called friend telling me the governor of Massachusetts was shutting down liquor sales for 7 days. As I am running out of the house I asked my roommate if he thought it was true and his words “you better run”.  So run I did to my local “packy”, figuring familiarity would grant me one last sale.  I asked if they heard about the liquor closing for a week and he burst out laughing.  He said they don’t have enough hospital beds, so how are they going to medicate those at home. Good point and I was both embarrassed and relieved, to know I had been duped. I came home with my bounty and my techie/roommate had a good laugh and said he was going to let Sarah know that I was run over in my mad dash that she instigated. After safely putting away my supplies I went back to the link and apparently I am told it is something called “rick rolling” getting you to play a video from Rick Astley from 1987. I think it has a nice beat and I could dance to it.

 Really so many things I never heard of as I generally don’t spend a lot of time on the internet.  This whole “Fake News” thing brought me back to a memory of when I first met my now husband/roommate. Just so you know he wasn’t always the saint he is today. I’ve got the goods on him.  This was back in college on a Friday night were roaming around the campus center bars and then ended up in one of these conference rooms we found open, about twenty people. We were all fairly buzzed and there may have been some pot involved because I can’t recall where the ashes came from. I had just met techie and it was only the second time we were hanging out. They started playing this game. I don’t remember all the details but you pinched the person’s cheek next to you and said pinchy winchy pass it down.  Well as you were playing the game a few people around the table were ending up with these ash marks all over their faces. I thought it was hysterical and couldn’t stop laughing at them. I mean they were getting covered in ash marks and they had no idea what was happening.  It wasn’t till a few hours later after we had gone to another bar and I visited the ladies room and looked in the mirror there I was so covered with the black ash marks. When I saw myself I couldn’t stop laughing and loved the fact that he did not tell me for those few hours we were hanging in the bar.. He let the joke ride and it but just really good stoner fun. So after my initial show of panic today and all the dust was settled, I really didn’t care that I was played, pinchy winchy pass it down.  Today was a wet and gloomy damp day and at least I could still laugh at myself and allow my roommate to go along with the joke. We definitely need to keep laughing wherever we see the joy.

Just sayin…………….
