I am in the middle of a puzzle but I heard this song that I have never heard before and I couldn’t even identify who was by so I stopped puzzling and listen to the words and it made me laugh because I actually did the same thing! But what I said was, “You’re right, I’m wrong.” Repeatedly. Then I was asked why I did not want to fight and I said because you are right and I am wrong. 😂😂😂
And the progress of the puzzle:
It’s only 58% done so far:
How did I also miss this one, also?! This one definitely would have been one of my jams back when I lived in the land of the able-bodied. As I am transitioning to the land of the chronically ill, it’s quite difficult for me. This song makes me remember being in the land of the able-bodied:
AND, a side note: she’s redheaded!!!
I almost forgot, the puzzle:
But it’s another puzzle with the wrong piece?! So irritating!!!:
I reposted on both Facebook and Twitter at about 330 this morning that I understood or I remembered the feeling that I am experiencing in my legs right now. The post I reposted was from November 2013. I had gotten a really good stretch at Barwis and maybe it was just a little bit too much! It was in the very beginning of my training there and I cried in 2013 when I had this feeling in my legs but I didn’t cry this morning.
I am able to adjust my bed to ‘TV watching mode’ which I prefer to call ‘reading mode.’ I only found this out by accident because desperate times call for desperate measures and I was crawling out of my skin with the pain I was feeling in my legs so I set up in my bed and the pain dissipated a little bit. I probably sat that way for 20 minutes before I cat send it back to ‘zero gravity’ mode and I was able to sleep for a good chunk of time!
so now, I only have to sleep for two more nights with my socks that are too big and are hurting my legs and on Monday we will get new ones!
My feet hurt a lot today which is so strange because I have NOT felt my feet in over 20 years! My Mom is resting and my phone is about to die. I decided to listen to some music on my iPad in case my phone dies. I thought about all of my pay playlists on my Apple Music and I decided on my James Blunt, Back to Bedlam album because that allows me to escape back to my apartment living on I could still drive and just started teaching. I was so hopeful for the future…
I have been on the verge of tears all day so far! tears have been stinging my eyes and I wipe them away with my sleeve. I am completely sleep deprived! I was able to doze off a little bit before four in the morning and was wide awake at 7:30. That Suzanne Vega song was paying in my head and it was pure torture!!!:
Instead of being ripped from my sleep I couldn’t even fall asleep to begin with. I reposted earlier today a post from June 2021. That’s when I got the socks I am currently wearing. But the compression is no longer tight enough because my legs have gotten thinner. That is a whole ‘nother discussion for later but I could not fall asleep because my legs felt so terrible!
I was able to get a new prescription from my neurologist who I am seeing at the end of June and on Monday, we are going to get new socks! I don’t think they get smaller than a size one. And that’s a different discussion for a different day but I just need to handle three more sleeps until my legs feel better!
I completed my 300 puzzle early this morning as my Mom was tending my feet before I went to sleep. There was no music but I was thinking about something and then this showed up:
I was just thinking about the fact that I have done almost 300 puzzles And then when I chose my 300th one, The elephants showed up! I was just thinking about them! But now I know that any puzzle I do every the elephants is starting at number 300.
I was very much looking forward to today because it’s my favorite day of the week and I was going to unveil cucumber mint for the first time this season! Seemed like a pretty good day! My feet are slowly getting better and once I get out of my bed and in my chair, I saw this tweet and it devastated me:
I texted my friend because this is the death of an era in my life! right after my knee was injured and before surgery, I still was in the mindset of teaching so I was able to get up every morning and start my days off with football! And then I stopped working all together. But then, as my disease progressed and I stopped working, I can’t get up at 7 a.m. anymore. I texted my friend the video that GMFB tweeted out And he knows where I stand:
But this news got me thinking about a shirt that I have never worn:
I won’t be able to watch the show live but I will check out the highlights on Twitter tomorrow. I never have liked change very much and it seems like everything in my life is changing so rapidly! I’m #Devastated!
Today, because it’s Thursday, I have taken a break from my two man race between strawberry and sweet mandarin Chapstick. It’s time to use cucumber mint! When I put it on the first thing, I had to sigh! Oh yeah! I remember this! And I’m getting closer to having that being my summertime Chapstick all the time as soon as I am done with my current Chapstick box.
The pomegranate is just a placeholder until The seasons change but after this one is completed:
I’m kind of excited!
So, in my current two-man race of strawberry versus sweet Mandarin Chapstick, I think I have shown my hand without even knowing it because this was the first puzzle I did after my 290th one:
I said before that I wanted strawberry to win but I realize that it really doesn’t matter at all but… it’s something to keep me busy and I will restart puzzlin’ right now and I’m pretty sure I will hear The Fray.
The problems that I am having with my feet are killing both my MI’m and me!!! This is such a slow process and I haven’t felt my feet in over 20 years but now this pain is beyond. I couldn’t think of descriptive words but it’s bad!!!
To cheer myself up, I put on an old musical that I’ve watched so many times and so many with my cousinT, Shannon! Just as the opening credits were ending, I texted her:
And she texted me back this:
My Mom was surprised by my choice of movie but I told her about Shannon and me singing and dancing in my aunt’s basement and I laughed and I laughed!
