Homesick For Bristol

Quote: Let people talk about you because you tried and failed, not because you failed to try!

trumpery  \TRUM-puh-ree\ • noun  1 : worthless nonsense  *2 : trivial or useless articles : junk.

("Trumpery" derives from the Middle English "trompery" and ultimately from the Middle French "tromper," meaning "to deceive." (You can see the meaning of this root reflected in the French phrase "trompe l'oeil"—literally, "deceives the eye"—which in English refers to a style of painting with photographically realistic detail.) "Trumpery" first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to cluttering material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase "trump up" means "to concoct with the intent to deceive," but there is most likely no etymological connection between this phrase and "trumpery.") 

I miss being at my home in Bristol.  I'm homesick for it I suppose.  I'm amazed at myself for making such a statement.  I miss H.R.M Queen Halena Slopoflopolopolous.  I love her so much.  I miss her immensely.  I can't be away from her much longer.  I can't let her down.  She'll soon go to be with mother and Toonie.  It is only a matter of time. I want to make the most of her remaining time with me.  I owe her all my love.  Its a debt I'll never be able to pay in full.  She's my world.

Today I'm Grateful for:  Jeff, and his medical need requiring H.R.M. Queen H. Slopoflopolopolous' companionship.  She's in good hands with him, but yet they're not mine!
