So, I had to vote today. It’s rare for me to get out of the house in this heat especially because I have to transfer to my manual chair to do so. Absentee ballots are not as fun and I would not get a sticker once I voted so I made my way to my local elementary school to cast my vote.
My Mom took me this time and I had a couple of the same woman checking me in from the last time. My precinct does not have a disabled voting booth so my Mom had to help me cast my vote.
As my Mom drove me back to my house, I had to celebrate with an iced chai tea latte and a green goddess salad from Panera! Sean was cutting the grass so my Mom got out of the car to give him some instructions and supervise. I turned the radio on. I remember years ago that a former colleague told me that you know you’re old when you don’t to listen to new music. I settled on the 90s on nine station in the car.
This song was playing:
I don’t think that is what makes you old, I think it’s the fact that I no longer have the pipes to belt that song out with my, “chest voice,” and only can use my. “head voice.” My cousinT, Shannon, explained the difference to me years ago when I was in high school and I had no problem belting things out then. I didn’t know that would change.
Since I was in the car by myself, I could belt this one out when it came on!:
I think Natalie‘s voice is more in my range then Mya’s. I was younger when the 10,000 Maniacs song came out but listening to the radio before my Mom came back to get my wheelchair and me out made me realize that I’m pretty old!
