“MS-y” Day 2

So my wonkiness is continuing for a second day. I didn’t even get my hair washed because I don’t feel well. I just put it up in a ponytail because I have one of those now.

It started yesterday when I sat in my chair in and out of sleep and I listened to Sara Bareilles. I used to sing along with her for all of her songs but I no longer can carry a tune like that but rest assured that I am singing along in my head!!! This song has been in my hand for two days now. I have never shared it before on my blog but here it is:

“MS-y”

I’m not sure what it is that is causing me to feel as horrible as I do. I think it may be the weather change because I woke up very cold this morning and can’t seem to warm up. When the seasons change, it’s awful for at least a few days. I shared this on Facebook:

I’m having a pretty, “MS-y” day and I don’t like it AT ALL!!!

August 2020 Faves

And addition to just posting a list of my favorite songs with their links, I want to say something about today.

It was 15 years ago today that I ventured out of my Parents’ house for the first time. I had my freshly signed first teaching contract and was able to lease an apartment for one year for my three year old son and me. We lived there for one year. It was a small, one bedroom apartment and Sean says he doesn’t really remember that one.

I was jamming to this CD back then and I know I have shared it so many times here but I really love it and these songs remind me of out first apartment. I’ve listen to this album twice today;

Ponytail

I have a vivid memory from the summer of 2013 where I was laying on the turf at Barwis Methods on my back and I told Jesse, my trainer, that I missed having a ponytail. I had cut my hair all off five years earlier on my 26th birthday.

I thought about this from the beginning of this pandemic and subsequent Florentine. Sean snapped this picture and I think I had not had my haircut for almost 2 months at that point:

I have since documented my hair growth during this:

So, check out my ponytail now:

I ordered ponytail holders from Target, some thing I haven’t done for 12 years but they arrived in yesterday and I put my hair in a ponytail for the first time in 12 years. I would have taken a picture then but my hair was dirty. I think it’s crazy that I have forgotten how to put a ponytail holder in my hair. Yesterday, it took me a few times to remember.
