This category is full of randomness that really doesn’t fit nicely into any of the categories having to do with my road to walking.
I got this package yesterday, but I was way too tired to open it. My Mom opened it today:
She showed it to me, and I smiled and said, “Such Contrntment.” I couldn’t say much more than that because I am a little bit delirious right now… this one was difficult!!!
So, this is ‘recovery weekend,’ and I have no more doctors appointments scheduled for this year! I must say that I am quite exhausted, but I am happy that this year’s appointments were successfully scheduled and they have already the first quarter of 2024 scheduled
I watched a new Hallmark movie, it was set in Scotland, and I liked it. I saw my second Christmas commercial during it:
I have seen this commercial before this year, but I never paid attention to it. I think I paid attention because I am so Exhausted, so I just let myself be entertained. I thought that was a really cute commercial but of course it made me think of the original song:
I Pillaged to today like I do every Saturday:
I thought that things would be easier, or at least that I would know what to expect 22 years in. I thought that I would feel like I was driving in cruise control… I must tell you that it definitely does NOT feel that way, but Pillaging kind of feels that way and I think that’s helping me feel as best as I can…???
I have NOT written about our Cider mill experience, nor have I spoken about the red tape I am experiencing! The red tape, I am STILL experiencing it, and the Cider mill excursion, my Mom STILL to send me the pictures so I will just speak about my last naturopath appointment.
I was very concerned about my hips, and he adjusted me with that little tapping machine and checked my nutrition and he said, “Your nutrition looks good! I just need to see you as needed.” I loved hearing that and he told me to keep my orthopedist appointment.
I loved hearing that my nutrition was okay and I am comfortable with all of my supplements now! I am a little bit concerned about my orthopedist appointment in January, but I won’t think about that right now. I will just take the wins when I get them and this is a small one because I do not need to see Dr. Clark until I have a problem…
I got this email on October 13 and I am mediately, texted it to my cousinT, Shannon. We both agreed that we would not listen to it until after Thanksgiving, but in full disclosure – it’s close enough and I HAD TO listen! I thought that I would pick one favorite song but his voice is so smooth that I couldn’t choose one! So instead, I will just put the songs here and know that I will be listening to this album on loop for pretty much the entire Christmas season!:
I have accepted some things about myself. The first thing is that I am a planner. I schedule everything sometimes to a fault I think, but I saw evidence of the fact that I am a planner because I am about to change over to my Winter box of chapstick from my Fall box. I will show you how much of a planner I am:
Fall Box:
I was able to fill my complete Fall flavored box. I am currently using all four flavors, but I was able to put the Pomegranate one inside the box. I will not use that flavor until after Winter is over.
I just looked into my Winter box, and I was completely reminded of how much of a planner I am!:
Winter Box:
I feel that I have to explain this picture even aside from the strange format. The first flavor is Ginger Spice on the left. I use from the day after Thanksgiving until December 31. I am set to use the Cocoa Mint from January 1 until it’s finished. Then, I will use Vanilla Bean until the weather starts getting warmer and that’s when I use the rest of the Pomegranate I have.
I am such a planner, because every single chapstick in my Winter box is sealed, except for ginger spice, which I started to use last year. All of this really doesn’t matter, but it keeps me sane to think and write about it.
I saw this commercial for the first time a few days ago, but I just saw it again today when we were watching a Hallmark movie so I had to put it here:
I really dig sentimental Christmas commercials!!!
I have been seeing this commercial often in my YouTube feed!!!:
I haven’t had one of those since I was working at CCA!!! My Mom came home from my aunt Linda’s house with this:
To all of my CCA. OGs, IYKYK!!! My Mom tried one yesterday and I had one at the same time. She is NOT a fan at all so it’s up to me to eat this entire tree! I had another one today. I will need to pace myself, though, I AM a wheelchair user who is progressing to not moving at all so…
Everyone who knows me, KNOWS my favorite Christmas song! My oldest nephew texted me this on Tuesday:
I read that and my heart smiled! I texted him back:
Sean was over here when Lil Dave texted me that and he told me that, “EVERYONE knows that that is your song!” I smiled because it’s pretty much true so I will put that here now:
In the past couple years, my Mom has mentioned songs that she likes because I am crazy for a Wham! I actually put this song on an Apple Music playlist, so my Mom would enjoy it as well, but I forgot that I put it on because she likes it so I have to put them here as well:
Sean and I were recently talking and he told me that he thinks this is his favorite song:
OF COURSE this is my song’s favorite Christmas song! He is such an old soul! Has been for his entire life! I did this one too!!!
This is the first holiday, where I could not help but hear this song in my head yesterday because that’s how I felt. It kind of shocked me…:
The Hallmark channel is on my TV whenever I turn it on. My Mom washed my hair today and we watched this for about the second or third time and I think my Mom has yet to be awake for the entire movie:
it took me a minute to realize why Scott Wolf looks so familiar… Party of Five, hello?!
It took me seeing the end of the movie all three times to figure out what song was playing! I was reminded of my teaching days and working out at Barwis:
