I was going to go to Pridefest in St Louis, but the Proud Boys are planning to crash it, and with those psychopaths there, it's likely to become a bloodbath. Not so much for my safety, but instead to keep @Rain Dew out of potential harms way (if she wanted to go), we're skipping it this year.

Proud boys are domestic terrorists in two countries and have been charged as traitors with seditious conspiracy convictions in the USA. You have the right to point and shoot. Time to kill the traitors. Is this a threat? The supreme court just decreased what constitutes as a threat in the Counterman v Colorado case. I'm free to go.

My mum had a seizure today. She's in the hospital for observation. 🏥

My sister called me today, to say she was with her when this happened. 😧

Unfortunately, my mother has an aortic aneurysm. She has, I believe, suffered three strokes in the last 16 months... 

Been on weekly dialysis since March of last year.

Vey sorry to hear that. I wish nothing but the best for her.

I don't know how I would cope without my mother...

I feel this way about my parents, especially about my father who is essentially my best friend. I have never socialized in life with anyone as much as I have my father. I couldn't imagine life without him at this point.

My mum likes to be by the sea. The hospice she goes to for respite is close to the water. 🌊

 

 

 

That sounds very relaxing and I can fully understand why your mum likes to be by the sea. The quietness and the sound of the sea and just how relaxing it feels is an amazing feeling.

Happy Monday all! I hope everyone is having a great start to their week so far! I always say if you Monday goes well the rest of the week will so fingers crossed! 😄

Needing a few fillings at the dentist this Thursday. Gonna also ring up my ISP to give them notice to end my contract, because the broadband I have is absolutely dire. It was due up on the 8th of September, but I guess it will end a bit later perhaps since I haven't contacted them yet.

It's that slow, I cannot get videos to load up using my phone in bed. I feel like registering with TalkTalk was a waste of money. When I change to my mobile data with that network instead, it ain't especially great either. But it's still slightly better at loading media up, and if there's a 240p option, I am lucky.

My broadband speed is only around 0.2 MBPS. They told me fibre wasn't available, but if I had known their line was that poor, I wouldn't have signed up for such abysmal quality.

It's way too slow, though. Imagine trying to upload a video in HD when it's already running at a snail's pace. 

Giffgaff in the UK do this unlimited data pack for £25, I think. But they throttle your speed after 80GB of it is used. If I go outside, the signal improves. Indoors, it's obviously blocked by the brickwork, making streaming a chore. 

I guess I could just use cheaper data packs for to watch wrestling shows from now on, and the rest of the time, go leech off the public WiFi at the mall, or outside other venues. And I mostly just play YouTube videos to hear people's thoughts, so I don't care if the resolution isn't clear...

What's the plan for the weekend? 🙂

Plan for the upcoming weekend is to mostly relax, spend time with loved ones, and possibility enjoy the weather if UK weather allows this. I might squeeze in a movie at the Cinema, depending on how much time is available. What about you?

Sadly, I lost my mother on the 9th. My family are going to file a lawsuit. The paramedics who attended to her at home stated that nurses had overdosed her on drugs. The NHS in the UK is just an utter disgrace now, and so not trustworthy.

To make matters worse, the buggers are harassing my sister at the home, seemingly to retrieve a log book with a record of her medication because they know they messed up, big style.

Unfortunately, as my mother lay in hospital, she couldn't receive dialysis again. She was also frail and unresponsive. They also signed her off from dialysis too, which she never agreed to, but the staff from the hospice intervened. My uncle and siblings attended to pay their respects.

The 9th was also my sister's birthday. I have two sisters with the same birthday, but they were born in separate years. So, yeah. That certainly sucked.

The funeral is planned for next week. Going to be a celebration of the life of the most wonderful person in my world, with an obituary, music and no black clothes allowed. Mum was a person of colour, after all. She wasn't a fan of dreary things.

But yeah. It's sad how you cannot even depend on these health specialists.

Rest in peace, mum. ❤️
