Today is Saturday, so I pillaged:
I wore my contacts today so I would be able to see to do it. I have so much to write about because there were a lot of ‘first[s]this time. But for right now, I’m just going to bask in the comfort of this chair! It feels like it was made for me… oh wait, it was!!!
Recovery day #1 is a tough go, but it seems that it ALWAYS will be this way from here on out. I just have to get used to it!
I am just sitting here groaning, but this new chair is so comfortable!!!
I heard this one, and I have not shared it this year! This song came out when we were living in our house!
I guess that it’s better late than never but I woke up to phase 3 being completed. I felt just like Gus-Gus!:
I cannot believe that Cinderella was made in 1950!?! I grew up watching that movie! Here she is!:
I waited until night time to take a picture with just the lights on the tree on in the room.
This year, I have made the executive decision to put ornaments on the top half of my tree, because Leia is 4 now. My Mom and I will choose the ornaments to put on together probably tomorrow at the earliest.
I woke up to phase 2 being completed. I have resigned myself to being just a spectator for Christmas decorations! Today was the first day I sat in the living room with no lights on except for the Christmas tree, and I really like that!!!:
This was our holiday movie today:
We laughed hysterically, but I think it’s going to need a rewatch because I think I missed some things…
By the way, I laughed the most at the Ramona Quimby reference!!!
So on Leia’s walk today, my Mom told me that they walked by a Nativity scene with a kneeling camel in it. My Mom said that Leia stared at the Nativity scene for a while, and then let out four of the loudest barks that she has ever let out in her life!
My Mom said she laughed and laughed, and I told her to take a picture of the Nativity scene so I can see it. My Mom said that Leia barks when she’s afraid.
It makes complete sense to me why I have NOT heard her bark because she is so comfortable at our house!!! I remember when she first came and Covid was at its height that Sean went to stay at my Mom’s house, and my Mom moved in with me.
All of this seems to be working out because my disease is doing nothing but progressing and I need my Mom here to take care of me.
Sean asked me who the alpha was between us three, (my Mom, me, and Leia). I told him that it’s just, “Three friends hanging out!” I remember that he laughed so but it’s true.
I will post a picture of sad Nativity scene soon! 😂😂😂
This was our Christmas movie today:
My Mom fell asleep before it was over because we have seen it before but it’s a Christmas movie so we decided to watch it today. We were going to watch it free on Peacock. There was a little bit of a problem, so Mom just bought it for us will probably Tomorrow or something.
We watched this movie today:
I was in high school when this movie came out. I appreciate watching older movies because my eyes can handle that better. I never realized that this song is in the background in the movie:
That song was my jam! But then there’s this one from the trailer, but it’s NOT in the movie, that would be really cool!:
I made my Dad a mixed CD for his 55th birthday and I gave him 55 singles. That was the last birthday present I gave him because sadly, he was gone four short months later.
My oldest nephew texted me yesterday and asked me if I had that CD. I texted him back this:
He was the first person to make me become “Aunt Jenny.” he is the tallest person in my family, but his number is saved in my phone as, “Lil Dave” because that’s who he will always be to me.
After I sent that to him, in the evening, just after I brushed my teeth, I listened to those two songs that I put on the playlist that were just for me:
Those two songs are difficult for me specifically and I thought I would write about that but just after the U2 song and I was remembering crying on my way to work, a random song came on and I lost it!:
I lost it because the significance of that song! I could feel myself ugly cry and I didn’t even care! My face was wet with tears and snot and everything I couldn’t even wipe my face cause I was crying too hard!
My Mom told me that she sang that song to my Dad when he was in the hospital. She didn’t tell me that until after he died. I love to hear that story because a nurse walked into the doorway and then asked my Mom, “Are you singing to him?” and when my Mom answered, “Yes,” she just said, “I’ll be back.”
I really think I lost it last night because as I listened to that song, I could feel my Dad but I’m going to stop talking about it now…
