Discombobulated Corp Goth, Halloween 2022 edition

-

 Hello dear readers!

Boy, do I have a silly story for you and I am really excited to share it! 

It all started during the very early morning hours Monday morning (Halloween day} when my baby bat (my son) woke me up because he wasn't feeling good. He was sluggish and sniffling a lot. I let him sleep in my bed until my alarm goes off. 

The thing is, I have several alarms on my phone. It is the most annoying sound in the world too and I am almost guaranteed to get up except this time, I kept shutting off my alarms and falling into a deep sleep. My alarms go off every 10 minutes! My ability to fall into a deep sleep in a matter of seconds always amazes me. I always know when my last alarm goes off because it tells me in a robotic voice to "get your ass out of bed" and this time, I decided to rebel against the robot and set the alarm to snooze. The thing is, my baby bat and I can sleep through a nuclear explosion and when the snooze alarm went off, we slept through it. I don't remember how I got up but I did and had to rush to get ready. I decided to take an Uber to work because I thought it would save me time. My work really isn't far from my house and I felt more comfortable getting a lift than taking public transit. I should have taken public transit since three Uber drivers declined my request! I ended up being 15 minutes late and I had just started this job! I wasn't in trouble or anything but I hate being late! I even forgot my travel mug of coffee at home, much to my annoyance.

I did treat myself to a really nice lunch. There is this little coffee shop near my work that makes the best roast beef sandwich I ever had in my life! The coffee, on the other hand, was not strong enough for my liking but I tend to like my coffee stronger than most people do. I like to think it is because I built up a tolerance for it!

My day went by rather quickly and I rushed home via public transit and almost missed my stop because I was reading and got distracted but I made it home in one piece.  It is a yearly tradition for us to get Mcdonald's for supper before we go trick or treating and that is exactly what we did! This may be the last year I accompany my kid because he will be going to high school next year. It is bitter sweet but I have so many wonderful memories! 

The weather was really nice and mild too which was great! Even my dog, Storm joined in with the festivities and many people stopped to pet her and adore her because she was too cute in her costume! She was wearing bat wings! The people in my area are very generous with giving candy too and we had a wonderful time. All in all, despite the rough start of my day, it was a very successful and fun Halloween! 

Here are some photos of our adventures! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween too. It really is one of my favourite holidays but every day is Halloween for me! 

Baby bat is a huge Nu Metal and Korn fan and I got the mask for him a while ago at a store called Diabolik, here in Montreal.

The photo doesn't do justice. This house was so cool!

If He Wanted To, He Would

 Lately, my new motto is "if he wanted to, he would" and I think it is a positive way to go about things. I am in my early forties and re-entered the dating field a few years ago after my divorce. It is very sad that things haven't changed much since my early twenties when I met my ex-husband. Someone once told me I shouldn't put men in the same basket because one guy treated me like shit. So far, I have noticed, that for every 5 guys I meet, maybe one of them is a decent guy. I hate to write a post like this because it is coming from a place of anger and bitterness but I have to go about personal experience. Anyways, I thought this post will be a reminder to me when I think I met the "Gomez to my Morticia" or "My Tuxedo Mask" because lately, I have been getting all crappy, cheap, imitation bootlegs! The thing is, I am the one to blame. I am not perfect but I like to think I am a great chick! I just need to be a little smarter when it comes to my c

The discombobulated life of a corp goth

 "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents." - Bob Ross Well, dear readers, I got a funny story for you all. It all happened on Friday when I went to a job interview. I thought I was prepared by laying out my clothes the night before. I forgot that most of my corp goth outfits don't quite fit me due to the weight gain that happened over the pandemic. I still got a whopping 15 pounds to lose and I thought "oh I am sure it will fit, I will be fine." That was my death wish indeed! Those are the best final words I could have muttered to myself before falling asleep last night! I got up early enough and since I had plenty of time to spare, I decided to watch a movie. I somehow lost track of time and had to get ready in a hurry. I picked out my best undergarments as I wanted to feel confident (there is a point to this, I will get to it in a bit, trust me!) Seriously ladies, wear those sexy undergarments if that is your thing! It really does help boost y

It Always Happens When You're Not Looking

The conclusion of my first semester as a University student has finally arrived, and with it comes a much-needed moment of respite. The weight of essays and finals has been lifted from my shoulders, allowing me to take a deep breath and shift my focus towards my job search. Looking back, I realize that I might have underestimated the academic rigor of University-level coursework, especially as an undergraduate, first semester student who hasn't been in school for about 20 years!  Only towards the end of the semester did I realize that I should have started with lower-level courses (level 200) instead. No wonder I struggled so much! I vividly recall the tears I shed when I received unsatisfactory grades on my first midterm essay and another midterm exam for a different course. However, I'm proud of myself for not letting those setbacks defeat me. I picked myself up and dusted off my ego, determined to do better. I took advantage of my professor's office hours and poured my h

I don't need your approval

I recently posted about how I set personal goals for myself because this helps me to stay on track when it comes to my depression and anxiety. You can read this post here if you are interested.  In that post, I briefly mentioned how I might have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and I would like to expand on that. This is where I got the image One thing that many BPD sufferers do is seek external validation or approval and have an irrational fear of abandonment. As a result, we tend to push people away before they can leave us.  Very recently, I sought validation from someone who decided to be a huge ass dick and didn't give me the validation and approval I was so desperately seeking. At that time, I was furious. I *needed* the reassurance that this person wasn't going to abandon me, that this person cared about me and I was important. When I didn't get that validation, I was triggered and became quite toxic.  I decided to go into Hermit mode and I came to realize that

  Since You Have Been Gone - By Sylvie Dubois Since you have been gone I married the boy you told me about I remember you said: “Be careful of the things you say You may just marry him one day” And you were right but one thing was missing You weren’t there to give me away In exchange, I put your ring on my bouquet  and I felt your presence there that day Since you have been gone I got pregnant with your grandbaby But unfortunately, she just couldn’t stay Just like with you it felt like my whole world collapsed Yet somehow I knew you were there To hold me tight And tell me that everything will be alright Since you have been gone Much to our joy, I was with child again and when we found out it was a boy I knew he would take your name My pregnancy was harrowing but we pulled through And I like to believe it was because of you Since you have been gone You would be proud of your grandson He is an amazing kid who unfortunately will never know The greatest man who ever lived How I wish you co

Tea time and the power of friendship!

"...And I thank you For bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found That I belong Feels like home I should have known From my first breath" - Home by Depeche Mode Side note: Yes, I chose a cheesy title for this blog post. Yes, you can laugh and kudos to you if you read the title in a sarcastic/cynical tone! I love being a cheeseball at times! A couple of nights ago, I had a dream about my dad. I was a teenager again and we were sitting at the kitchen table. I was in distress. My dad was a very stoic man who had no clue when it comes to dealing with a teenage girl in crisis. He would just casually stand up, turn on the kettle and announce he was making me a cup of tea.  Anyone who knows me well knows I have a love for coffee but tea can be important too. Tea reminds me of the very few happy childhood memories I have. Tea reminds me of my grandmother who bought me my first tea set. Granted, it wasn't anything special, it was a toy but
