Month: December 2024

20 Years

Yesterday was ‘go time’ and Dr. Clark had canceled his appointment appointment earlier in the week changing the days he is doing his energy work. I would see him on Wednesdays when I got my haircut but he changed over Tuesdays for next year.

I made an appointment for the Tuesday after 15 January when I get paid. We will discuss further appointments later because I don’t think that change works with my schedule.

I am finished leaving the house for the year. It is getting MORE difficult and my disease is progressing and this ALL scares me so much!

We were able to go to the lights last night as well after we got our haircut because we had the van. It had been 20 years since I had gone to the lights! I took Sean when he was three. I was nervous about being able to see all of the displays because my eyes are getting worse.

When we went to the lights, nobody was there, so we could go slowly through, and I was able to see all of the displays clearly because a lot of them, I remembered! There was one display that I had to ask my Mom what it was. Both she and Sean told me what it was and because there was no one in line, my Mom reversed, and I was able to see it. Because I knew what I was looking at!

I have been so nervous about my eyesight lately, but I’m happy that I still was able to enjoy the lights. It had been 20 years since I took Sean when he was three.

My Mom asked me which one I like the best and I told her that I love the snowflakes! I normally decorate my Christmas tree with them, so of course I would say that! I also liked the marching band! I think that one was new.

5th and Final Tine

I watched Love Actually today and I think that is going to be the fifth and final time this year. I absolutely LOVE this movie and I didn’t see it until 2019. When it came out, I was busy watching kids stuff because Sean was just a kid. I had heard stuff about this movie so I finally watched it in 2019. I couldn’t get over how weird Alan Rickman looked!!!

And I love this song in this movie as well!!!

But this scene with this song is what sealed the deal for me!!! That song is my soundtrack for my first year at Western!!!:

Iconic

I have only heard to this song twice this year but right now is the third time I’m hearing it but I saw this and I thought it was so iconic!!!:

I saw this and I thought it was so cool because this is from 1989 and did he know that that line would be so iconic! It’s one of the lines I love singing with this song!

I remember I saw a of an interview with Bono. In retrospect, he feels that he ‘over sang’his part in this song! Well, Bono can do no wrong in my eyes!

Rough Day

I told my Mom today, and we weren’t even looking at each other, and I’m not sure if it was a question or just a statement. I just said, “Rough day.”

She replied, “Yes.”

It has been a rough day and I had to pillage today so I am exhausted!!! “Go Time” next week.

#MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

…From a Giggle to a Smile… OR MUCH BETTER

So, we got the washer and dryer last Sunday. December 8. I absolutely love the song that comes on each time a load in the wash or a load in the dryer finishes!!!

Since we will have had these in my house for almost a week, I have gone from a giggle to a smile each time a song plays at the end of a cycle!!!

I told my Mom that I have wanted these in my house for my entire life!!! I really have! I just couldn’t afford it before now!

I am most reminded of my cooperating teacher texting me one morning in the spring of ‘22 and asked me if I was getting a new roof. I was totally startled by that question because the day before, Tallon Roofing (which is closed now) had just come by and put the shingles on the roof that they’re going to do the next day.

I told him that and he responded that he just passed my house on his way to work. And I responded to him that now I am old enough to understand how important it is to have something new that looks exactly the same! I think that I texted him a picture of my roof. It looked exactly the same!

My washer and dryer don’t look the same, they look MUCH BETTER but they are doing the same thing that my old washer and dryer did but this one sounds so much more fun!

I have reminded Sean and I’m not sure if I will be here but I told him that the house needs a new roof in 2072. I was born in 1982 so I will be 90 years old.

Wrapped in Red

I thought that I heard this song a few days ago. I had to research it but this song came out in 2013, I was already living in our house. It’s kind of like when I heard Carrie Underwood. I would’ve jammed to that song but I heard it’s too late. I heard this one also too late but I want to hear it again because I hind of dig it!:

One Grain of Salt

I was talking to Sean not too long ago and he let me know that every single one of my brothers are ‘salt and pepper’ now. My immediate family got together for Thanksgiving the week before Thanksgiving. I told him that I have no idea how that happened?! Because I really don’t! But we are all in our 40s now.

My Mom and I were just talking about that. I have one strand of white hair right now. I had a white hair when I was pregnant with Sean and my Mom was stroking my hair and she found it and I immediately gasped, and told her to pull it out. Two didn’t grow back, and I just have one on the top of my head now but I am 42 and NOT 19!

My Mom lets me know that it’s there, but she further told me that she doesn’t think that I am going to get any more That is because I am on a lot of supplements! It looks like I will have just one grain of salt for a long time, I hope!

I am going to see my naturopath on December 18 and as of right now, I take 44 pills a day! We will see what it’s like in a couple of weeks. That’s the only time that I am leaving the house in December and I am so nervous about this cold weather!!!
