The April-Fooled

Hey Mom!

 I attempted a prank on my Dad early this morning... it didn't exactly go according to plan:

 So it is technically April Fool's Day (12:14am) I'm writing this because I'm currently plotting. I know what you're thinking: You should be doing school work. I know that and you know that... but if we don't talk about it's almost like it's not there.

  For those of you who don't know, I used to prank my Dad every year until I went too far (I must never speak of it again). So I decided to retire before someone got hurt or I got written out of the will. But seeing as this is the last year I'll be living with my parents for the foreseeable future, I've decided to bring it back for one last hurrah. 

 As we speak the jello (containing his car keys) is setting, once it's done I will insert a picture here:
Notice that this is not car keys in jello.... that is because the jello never set.
Now I'm going to go tell my Dad I need to go to the hospital (I've been feigning stomach pain for about a half hour). This is either hilarious or I'm actually a terrible human being (which, as mentioned above, is the reason I retired in the first place).

 Just checking in.... it's 2am... I thought jello would set in an hour.... turns out it does not.... setting my alarm for 5 am so I can try for some sleep. K bye.

 So it's 4:16 am... a car alarm started going off and my Dad went looking for his keys and couldn't find them... My mom just woke me up (laughing so hard she can't breathe) because I'm so tired I slept through the car alarm... apparently he is now wandering around the parking lot looking for his keys.... the jello is still just liquid. 

 What ended up happening is that my Dad came inside and I handed him a cup with the jello and his car keys in it and said "April Fools!" but everyone was so tired at that point that I had to explain that his car keys were in the cup.

 So what did we learn?

 1. My Dad thought my prank would've been really funny.

 2. Apparently, jello won't set in a metal travel mug... that piece of information is not in the instructions. Don't worry I'll be writing a letter to the jello company.

 3. Sometimes the April-fooler becomes the April-fooled. 

 That is all.

 ps Dad if you're reading this, Mom was my accomplice the ENTIRE time.

Loss can seem unfair in so many ways.  It feels unfair when it seems too soon.  It feels unfair that some pass old and grey while others seem to live within the span of mere moments.  To me, the most unfair aspect of loss is that nothing stops.  Tomorrow will still come, the phone will still ring.  People will continue working and tweeting and texting as if all is well in the world.  The world should stop, everyone should stop. Why don't they stop? Richard Cross had an impact on the people that he met.  Richard Cross was a husband, a father, a brother, a friend.  Richard Cross was significant, and saw the significance of the people he interacted with. So why? Why during this time of loss is there still work and traffic and classes? How can the internet machine continue to churn out meaningless posts while we are faced with the daunting task of mixing joy and sorrow?  While we celebrate the life of Richard Cross and we accept the fact that our world is a little paler.  Why don&#

12 Kilometres of Consequences

Hey Mom! Once again, I have been humbled by reality and general principles of physics. I want to start by saying that at no point in time should you feel sorry for me during this story. I did this to myself. I was doing a fair bit of running at the beginning of COVID but then I got sad and busy and also sad so I stopped. Since June 2020 I have run exactly TWO times. ALSO (because you really should not have even an ounce of pity for me) it is important to note that I have never been a long distance runner... ever. Onward! I decided to participate in an ultra marathon relay (ie. I ran part of a race that some people can run all by themselves… good for them). In the beginning, I had every intention of taking this seriously. I was going to go for runs and workout and drink water. What I did do was exactly none of those things. Instead I rolled up on race day wearing my housecoat with a backpack full of snacks. I drank 200mL of water and went on my way. Just a fool in a housecoat tempting f

Irreversibly Redeemed

Hey Mom! Wanna hear something cool and mildly disgusting? Of course you do... that's why you're here.  I have two zits that are symmetrically located on either side of my nose... pretty awesome eh?  These gemini zits are brought to you by your local final exams.  That's right folks just 3 back to back exams and I am home free! You may have noticed that this weekend is Easter.  There are so many things I love about Easter: time with family, a long weekend and the knowledge that the last few new years resolution survivors are being crushed under the temptation of creme eggs and chocolate bunnies so all the Facebook statuses about them being better than the rest of us is going to finally come to an end. There is one thing about Easter that I do have a bit of a struggle with... the fact that someone else had to die for me. It's not because it doesn't paint the perfect picture of love... it does.   It's not because I don't believe it happened... I do
