Well, my hips still are not lying. I’m a little bit concerned. It just feels so weird. It doesn’t hurt but I wonder if that’s because I can’t really feel it. My pressure sores that I had from April to November in 2022 hurt but I think that it hurt a lot more than I was feeling it because I really can’t feel my feet. I was just telling my Mom that I really can’t feel my entire body or at least control it! IT’S SO WEIRD!!!

I’m a Sellout!!!
My Mom and I watched a movie today that came out in 1989. I was seven years old. I did have to confess to my Mom that I saw this movie with my aunt Rita and uncle Ed. Today, I was sitting in their living room watching this movie, and I remember that my and Rita warned me about the bad language Told me that everything will work out in the end:
As we watch this movie, I don’t remember it being this suspenseful! I think I was just enjoying being with my aunt and uncle. I probably spent the night! My Mom was chastising my aunt today, and couldn’t believe that she showed this movie to her seven year old daughter. I’m sorry, Rita! I’m a sellout!
Well, MY Hips Don’t Lie…
Today was a little more tolerable than yesterday. Yesterday with the rain my head hurt so badly. My hips did not feel well at all and my knees were throbbing. Both of them. I will not go see my endocrinologist until May 16.
Today I was nervous when my left hip kind of slipped out. By that, it reminds me of when I bought Sean the light sabers when he was about five. The light saber is in segments, and you push it all down when you put it away. But that’s what I feel with my hips. It kind of slips. The segment comes out a little bit. My Mom asked me about that o when my left hip slipped for the first time, I told her, “Well, my hips don’t lie…”
Recently, I can’t seem to find the humor in finding a song that fits. But today was not as bad as yesterday I have never liked Shakira’s voice But this one is fitting I suppose…
Rando Tune #62
I heard this song last night while I was playing Traffic Escape!. I hadn’t heard it in a long time and I think it’s crazy how times change!!! I decided to put the clean version here:
Poop
It’s been raining all day and my hips hurt! I am sitting in my chair immensely reclined because of this is terrible! The only thing that makes it worse is that it will continue all day tomorrow as well… Poop.
“You Should’ve Led with That”
Yesterday, while I was talking with Sean and dealing with his anti-climactic reaction to our tree skirt being found. Our vintage tree skirt that matches our Stockings?!
We were just having conversation, and in passing, I told him that I was invited to a Pampered Chef Facebook party, and I ordered chocolate banana bread, and it had just arrived yesterday:
He was silent for a moment, and then he said, “You should have led with that!” it was my turn to laugh! Sean has said that his favorite is banana bread and I saw that option so I got it! I told him that we will go this week to get bananas then wait for them to Brown up
“Do You Want to Hear the MOST Exciting News?!”
I called Sean today and opened with this question,” Do you want to hear the most exciting news?! He was a little bit startled, but he could hear that I was excited, and he agreed to hear the news.
I was so excited that I blurted it out right away! I just said, very excitedly, “Abuela found the tree skirt!” Sean was silent and then he started to laugh. He told me that he was not expecting that statement! I told him that it is so exciting because it is vintage! 2005! I told him that I AM excited about it! My Mom told me that she boxed up the tree skirt in 2016 because that’s what she wrote on the box.
I am going to consult my records but I want to say that I did NOT put my tree up in 2017 because that was the Christmas I had my second knee surgery, and then I was fired. I was a little bit bummed to say the least!!! I’m not even sure when we started putting it back up. I think that was in 2022 or something.
I’m just excited that this year. I will have my Christmas decorations complete!!!

I saw footage of this song song at Taylor Swift’s concert, and that sent me back as soon as I started to hear the song, I was back teaching, and I was still driving and going to Barwis, but I was on the cusp of doing none of that and being homebound. But I didn’t know that back then:
Everything seems to have a tinge of sadness these days… I texted my best friend that this is difficult now and I’ve never had MS this long… I hope this funk is not lasting…
The Thomas Crown Affair
My Mom washed my hair on Friday night (Yeah, I no longer can do that myself) and she said that she wanted to put the The Thomas Crown Affair on. I had already taken my contacts out for the day, but I was cool with just listening to it because I couldn’t see a thing.
My Mom knows that I dig that movie so I guess that’s why she wanted to put it on. She had a ton of questions, and I could answer them to the best of my ability because it had been a while since I saw this movie. I watched it again today with my contacts on! Yep, I still did it! I especially like this song and I have no idea why:
We talked about the painting of “The Son of Man in my art history class at U of M Dearborn but I don’t remember what we said about it. I DO remember that I lent my book to a friend who was in school with me because it was $98 and she was going to take this class the following semester so I just put my name and phone number in the front thinking that I would get it back but I never did! But I still feel good about sharing it with her!
She told me today that this is a remake and we’re gonna watch the movie from 1968 with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway tomorrow. It’ll be a good comparison!
Benny-Bear
I received this text yesterday from a friend:
I’ve known Benny since we had our first department! I called him Benny-Bear but he is saved in my phone as just Benny. He lives in Vegas now. He always reminded me of the lead singer of Kings of Leon and just because of that I need to add this song here because dig it:
