Sean received his multiple disc blu-ray of the show, Avatar in the mail today:
He started his, “Super Binge” upstairs on the front room TV. I forewent my Office binge to allow him to watch the show. I remember that show when he was young and part of me remembers watching this with him. I think we saw some of it in our second apartment. There were parts of episodes we watched today that I remember seeing years ago. We are about to finish disc one but we had to stop to eat dinner. Our schedule is so completely off now!
I did not wake up today until about 10:45. My Mom got me out of bed and after I washed my hands, I sat in front of my TV to watch the news. I could not find my comfortable spot at all. I adjusted multiple parts of my wheelchair but I could NOT find my comfortable spot. I was miserable.
In that moment when I realized that I could NOT get comfortable, I was reminded that I have MS. Oh yeah… This sh#t hurts!!! I laid semi-reclined in my chair and tried to get my bearings. My Mom was talking to her friend from Las Vegas in my kitchen and they both were laughing.
It was almost like they were high school girls and that made me smile and think about when she and I laughed and my Dad corrected us by telling us , “Now girls!” and all three of us laughed together. I liked hearing them laugh but I couldn’t join in because today is it a bad MS day. Oh yeah… this hurts!
Last week, just after my brother made the eandom Shirley Temple reference, my Mom was talking to him on the phone and I was seated in the kitchen taking my vitamins and overhearing their conversation. She put him on speaker and unbeknownst to him, he confessed. Immediately when he said this, I started to laugh and my Mom had no idea what he was talking about.
He said something extremely mundane but it was completely an inside joke and something only me and my two immediate older brothers would understand. He was forced to explain this comment to my Mom through my laughter! I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while and it makes me laugh every time I think about it!
As I have been thinking about writing this post, this song popped into my head, completely unrelated, but my brother DID just confess:
My brother said, “Not I, said the duck!” I responded by laughing uncontrollably and my Mom had no idea what we were talking about.
Here is what he was talking about:
When I was a child, I think it was in a cartoon about a Mother Hen and her wanting assistance in the kitchen. i’m pretty sure there were three animals there, a cat, a duck, and a pig. Each one of the animals took a turn to say, “Not I.” My two older brothers would say the lines and one would be the duck and the other would be the cat and therefore would only leave, “Not I, said the pig!”
I continued to laugh as my brother explained this role assignment to my Mom. He told my Mom that the only line left for me to say was, “Not I, said the pig!” My Mom was completely aghast and she looked at me as I laughed and told me that I should never have said it. That is where Dave stated his confession:He told my Mom that if I didn’t say it, they would have beat me up!
The shocked look on her face continued as my laughter did! They would definitely have beat me up if I didn’t say it and they beat me up for so many other things throughout my childhood that I have lost count! But, it was nice to hear him confess that to my Mom. It’s better late than never and I don’t mind that it took about 33 years to take place but at least it took place!!!
Continued my binge and I’m really happy that Andy and Erin got together! I watched it until I saw the outcome of that! I don’t like Cathy but I thought I would dislike her more! It’s good that Jim is an upstanding man! I love this show and I’m almost finished…
Jim just left for Florida with Cathy. Sean told me I would not like her and based on her telephone conversation before they left, I don’t think I will! I had to stop my binge because of it.
I got to the Christmas episode for season eight. I really hope that Andy and Erin get together again!!! Sean wouldn’t tell me but he spoiled it for me regarding Creed.
I am about three episodes into season eight. I finished by watching Andy’s garden party at Dwight’s farm. I don’t like Andy’s dad but I laughed when they sang:
