I got out of the car by myself, opened the door, and Deeds pulled me into the gym. I took off my sunglasses and heard familiar music playing. It’s got to be 90’s Pop again. Just then, The Backstreet Boys came on and Megan screams and begins dancing. Just after she gets really into it, Nick has his phone in his hand, says her name, and the radio falls silent. Megan grabs her phone out of her pocket and the song comes back on just a bit louder. I enjoyed watching this “song war” as I have witnessed it a few times before.
Mike and I have talked about music a lot. I dig it because it takes my mind off of the pain of the intense stretching he does. But I would say for about the last two weeks, my legs are feeling looser in spite of the really cold weather. I’ve been sleeping better and during my waking hours, they aren’t as stiff. Mike put me in the “Ooh Doggie!” stretch and it didn’t really hurt. He asked if I felt the stretch and I told him that I did, a little so he pushed further. I gasped and asked how I felt. He kind of frowned and nodded. Typical guy way of answering. I even remember my Dad answering in the same manner. So I guess he can feel the improvement too. That’s how I’m taking it anyway.
He got me in the car and my legs felt relaxed. As I drove home and was stopped at a light, Alanis began to play. I smiled because it reminded me of Mike (we’ve talked about her). We’re just about the same age even though just like Jesse he reminds me that I am OLDER than he is. When the song ended, I changed the station and Marcy Playground had just begun. That song was playing the first day I walked with my crutches again at Barwis. I laughed and decided that I would press my luck and each time the song ended, I would change the station on my way home, I would hear a good tune. I heard Berlin, Lenny Kravitz, and Sir Mix-A-Lot. It was a random group of songs that I dug. It sure sounds like an eclectic group of songs but I dug all of them for different reasons. I pulled up into my driveway as Sir Mix-A-Lot ended and I turned the radio off so as not to end my string of good music.
