So, I told my Mom about what I said about Happiness for Beginners and compared it to that Capital Cities song. she looked at me and said, “Not that one; the bad one.”
When she told me that, I started to laugh because I knew what song she was talking about and I guess this song in this movie sounds similar. I will put all three songs in this post so you guys can hear the similarities for yourself:
Happiness for Beginners song:
The first song that I thought sounded like this song that I heard well I was in the middle of teaching:
But then my Mom told me that that wasn’t the song she was thinking of and this is this song, so I put it on here (the clean version) and I was still teaching one. The song came out as well:
When Happiness for Beginners started, my Mom asked me who sang the song that was playing when it began. That song sounded familiar, but I could not place it. I decided just to look at her and say, “I don’t know!”
I didn’t know this song but the song she was talking about was, “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities. That song came out when I was in the middle of teaching middle school! My kids, loved that song! I think I even posted that song on my blog years ago. It came out as a single in 2011 and on the album I’m 2013.
I was teaching Reading then, so I had smaller class sizes and I paid more attention to pop culture back then. But now, I am homebound, so I don’t have any pop-culture references anymore. But, I just looked up what song was playing in the beginning of Happiness for Beginners:
And since I put that song in here, I’m going to put the Capital Cities song in as well so you can hear the similarity that me and my Mom heard! Great minds think alike!:
Last night, after I had dinner and I had just brushed my teeth, I started to get a headache. I NEVER get headaches and my Mom said that. I just told her that I am glad it’s not in my eye, that’s where that usually happens!
It was an ache on the right side of my head, like the crown of my head, and then it slowly went toward the back of my head behind my ear. I only have experienced headaches when I had sugar withdrawal when I first started doing the South Beach Diet.
I got transferred into bed, and once I was situated, I pressed the heel of my right hand to my right eyeball. “Never mind,” I told my Mom. The ache was FULLY inside my right eyeball!
Once I was fully covered, and my room was dark, I started to feel nauseous a little bit. I was a little bit concerned because I remember my brother would get migraines and he would throw up and I really didn’t want to do that. I was neatly tucked into my bed!
Luckily, when I awoke, I found that I did NOT throw up, so it was NOT a migraine. I really never experienced a headache as a normal symptom before, but I am now!
I got my hair washed today and we watched Happiness for Beginners again. How ‘bout I did not even know that she taught English the first two times I saw it?! I think that’s why I dig the movies so much that I had to have a triple play!!!
I told my Mom this afternoon that I am closer to having had MS for 23 years then I am from having it for 22 years. My able-bodied self is such a distant memory but right now, I am faced with the changing of the seasons. That has progressively gotten worse, but I think THIS change of season he’s kind of proving to be a little too much… Let me ‘splain ya:
Last Tuesday night, it was too cold, so I had to turn the heat on. My nose was cold and I was hiccuping! I finally fell asleep when it got warmer and then Wednesday morning, I sat up in my bed, and was trying to orient myself to being awake. I was looking down at my phone to text my Mom that I just sat up. It takes me about 30 minutes to wake up.
I sent that text and I could feel my nose was starting to run so I put my phone down and reached over to grab a roll of toilet paper. That’s on the table to my left. I thought that I was a little bit slow and grabbing the toilet paper, but what I thought was snot hit my lip! I was totally grossed out and then I got some tissue. When I wiped my lip, it wasn’t snot, it was blood!!!
When I saw that, I started freaking out a little bit and started sopping it up. I didn’t want to blow my nose because I wasn’t sure if it was done bleeding and I didn’t want to irritate it!
I woke up Thursday morning to a lessened bloody nose and on Friday I didn’t bleed at all. But what concerns me now is the fact that it is warm today:
I’m keeping the air on all night and all day tomorrow because it’s going to be a hot one and in the back of my mind, I just wonder if I’m going to have to deal with more nose bleeds when I turn the heat on for real, for real.
My Mom suggested this movie yesterday and we watched it and I thought it was hilarious!
Today, I had my solo encore presentation just to get whatever I missed yesterday and to continue to laugh at all of their banter! Hugh was my fave!!!
I think I may make it a triple play because I think there are things that I was still missing. I will watch it without my contacts on on my phone. Optic Neuritis is not like what’s going on with Jake but I think it’s a bit close. May be a little too close for comfort…
The progression of my Optic Neuritis, although it started when I was pregnant in my right eye and my left eye joined the optic neuritis party when Sean was maybe 10? He’s 21 now so it has progressed but I get the gist of everything I see so it’s okay I think…
I was scrolling through my phone last night, and I saw a short of Mariah Carey singing “My All.” Of course I had to click on it, and then I stopped halfway through because it was a live video and it wasn’t that great of a performance so I decided to wait until I got into bed so I could give it justice as I listened!
I was a Sophomore in high school again, and I liked thinking about that! I still know all of the words, but I no longer can sing them. I’ll just put the video here:
