My Mom told me a story about her walk with Leia today. My Mom walks the same route all the time, but she said that today, she walked a little further and Leia was able to see her reflection for the first time!:
My mom told me that Leia just sat down and stared at herself for a while. I laughed! I told my Mom that she looked at herself and thought, “Hold up, wait a minute!”
Yesterday, I felt awful! It wasn’t even hot, but the rain was terrible! I told my Mom that it was ‘tough,’ because it totally was!
I was really trying to figure out how much longer I would have to handle this, but today, I think I got a glimmer of hope because when it was time for me to have my lunch, it was only 79° so I forced myself to eat food. What I eat now is completely easy to chew. But in the heat, it’s so hard to do that!
I told my Mom that when it is in the 80s, I will drink my lunch, but anything lower than that, I will eat food. It’s going to be a little chilly tonight so now we have gotten into the realm of heat at night and air in the day until it’s all heat all the time.
There are two albums on my Train playlist. Save Me, San Francisco, and California 37. I remember listening to this album in its entirety and then I would pick songs that I liked. I seem to be hearing this song a whole lot now as I am doing puzzles or playing the car game and I kinda dig it!
My Mom always tells me that I like sad music and I just tell her that my life is sad. I did not know how sad it would be 23 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS. Which at this point, the is a mother b*tch!
I do wonder what this song is about but I like it. What can I say, I like sad mood sick because my life is sad!
Because it is August now, I was listening to my Train Apple Music playlist, and I heard this song:
I have a very vivid memory of driving to work, and I was listening to this album for the first time, and this song came on just as I was making that very weird Isosceles triangle type turn off of Dix and onto Goldsmith to go to work.
This album came out in 2009 and I think I was still in our 2nd apartment so I thought I had a social life ahead of me. Well, that didn’t happen, but I love this song!!!

I saw that the New Zealand women’s rugby team won the gold medal today, and did the Haka. I had never witnessed women doing the Haka before. All I know is that I witnessed something spiritual today! I always cry when I watch people perform the Haka but these women are Olympic Gold Medalists now?!!!!
So, it’s Trains turn. And I am sitting in the parking lot at Wendy’s, eating a single with cheese, no onions, no tomatoes, fries, and a Dr Pepper as I am staring at a tattoo shop. I vaguely remember thinking that I would get a tattoo there but I’m 42 and I don’t have any tattoos. This song was playing:
I first have to share this song because I am 12 years old every time I hear it but 42 year old Jen is different than 12 year-old Jenny and I no longer can sing along because it’s too many words in my mouth. 12-year-old Jenny did not have MS, oh, wait, maybe I did:
I prefer Train songs from the early 2000s. That’s when I found out that Pat Monahan has a harry chest when he was walking around shirtless. For the first time, I didn’t mind it! This is my favorite picture from seeing them live!:
