My The Office Binge Day 22

I got to the Christmas episode for season six today. My Mom wants to watch a movie so I stopped my bins but there were a couple of things I dug in the last episode though!

The first thing is that I finally understand where Pam telling the camera, “Yup” comes from. It’s the Christmas episode of season six!

I use that GIF all the time on Twitter! So much of everything I’ve seen this far in the show makes me laugh so much! But I think this one got a pretty big one when Kevin sang this song on the karaoke machine:

My The Office Binge: Day 21

I continued my binge today and laughed at Pam slapping Michael after work for dating her mom, Breaking up with her on her birthday, and talking smack. But then there was the murder and the southern accents…

Michael got the email from David Wallace about Dunder Mifflin possibly going under. He found some solace by playing music lovely in his office:

I know that I am super late to the party but I’m really diggin’ this show!

The BEST Tweet Notification EVER!!!

I received a tweet notification this afternoon:

It was the BEST tweet notification ever! And one that I really was happy to receive and read! I’ve been missing them so badly! My daily routine has been completely confused and overturned because I cannot watch them every weekday morning!!!

It took me a minute of Sean NOT being in school, being locked down, and my Mom coming to stay with me for me to realize that that was what was going on! She actually told me what was going on and why I was completely off kilter. All I have of them now is a bleached shirt and great memories of laughing!

I replied to the tweet with this:

I cannot wait for this all to be over and for them to be back on TV!!!

For my Mom 💜💜💜

Growing up, I did not fully enjoy saying the rosary. My Mom, however, does. I agreed to say them with her because I enjoy saying them WITH my Mom. The newest development for me is that I can’t speak properly at times. Saying the rosary with my Mom became difficult because I know what I want to say but I can’t control my muscles enough to make the words come out properly.

My Mom came across this man saying the rosary and we use it now when I can’t speak well. His Irish accent reminds me of Fr. Rooney who was our pastor when I was a child and he presided over my Dad’s funeral mass. My Mom will search her phone each day trying to find the proper rosary so we see the proper mysteries. I am posting this post for my Mom and or anyone else who may want to say a rosary for all of us during this most trying time:

Glorious Mysteries for Wednesday and Sunday:

Joyful Mysteries for Monday and Saturday:

Sorrowful Mysteries for Tuesday and Friday:

Luminous Mysteries for Thursday:

Overheated

I blowdried my hair today and I had to take an, “Intermission” in the middle of the process because now that my hair is close to 2 inches longer, it takes longer to blow dry and I get overheated. I cut my hair to it’s current length just over 12 years ago on my 26th birthday.

It became abundantly clear to me why I did this just over 12 years ago. Long hair is way too hard to keep up! Sean laughed when I tossed my hair because it is so long! He told me last week it was like an inch longer than normal. The last haircut I had, had to have been in mid February. I didn’t make a March appointment because that was just when things were starting to ramp up. I canceled a cleaning appointment I had with the dentist because things were just starting to get bad.

It is imperative that I take all of these developments seriously because my immune system is compromised. My Mom has offered to cut my hair for me because the drying took so long but I just laughed and in declined the offer. Christina has been waxing my eyebrows and cutting my hair for the past 17 years and pandemic or not, I am NOT going to change that! Because of that fact, I will just let my eyebrows grow (Like I am) and my hair along with it! I will just have to to take breaks while blow drying my hair and deal with my pink face and fatigue caused by me becoming overheated.
