Category: A Bit Of Randomness

For the first time in years, I did NOT pillage:

That is because I have a procedure on the 15th so I had to stop taking supplements on the first. It feels very strange that I am not doing this today and I won’t do it next Saturday either. Year 24 of MS seems to be serious now…

I was thinking the other day about a movie I saw on TV when I was probably 16. I periodically would see it when it was on TV since then, but the other day, I decided just to purchase it.

I have seen it four times since buying it so that makes me feel better because it costs less each time I watch it than what I paid for it. At least that’s what I tell myself!

The movie is, The Thing Called Love with Samantha Mathis and River Phoenix:

I will say that one thing that makes me wince every single time I see it is the twin towers as she is leaving New York. I remember when we would have the moment of silence to commemorate the events every year when I was teaching.

I remember one year a student asked me, what that was like because they were all too young to know. I thought about for a moment and I just said, “Sad.” And then I added that I was pregnant and it was so scary! I really wasn’t talking to my students then when I made that statement, I was just remembering.

Seeing those twin towers is tough for sure, but I am happy that I bought this movie! I think it was the second time that I saw it, that I realized that I seem to repeat Sandra Bullock lines!!!

I didn’t even know I said this because of this movie, but when my classroom phone would ring while I was teaching, I would always tell my students, “I bet that’s for me!”

But, I guess I did that a lot, I said things to amuse myself! I just think that it’s silly that I didn’t even know it was from this movie until I purchased it!

I watched A Castle for Christmas in its entirety today. It seemed fitting for me today. Because my AC is fixed, even when it’s 81° outside, most times, I am seated in my house with a winter hat on. Like I was today.

My ‘temperature gauge’ has been broken for years now and I told my Mom that if given the choice, I prefer to be cold then to be hot. When I overheat, I can’t see.

I swear that I was Irish in my past life because I really dig the kilts and the tartans!!! I didn’t hear Kelly Clarkson’s song until last year and I’ve only seen this movie four times so far, but I heard another song that I am looking for now. I’m sure that I will see this one again in July at least.

This picture showed up in my phone so it’s my “Pic of the day” and I shared it on Facebook:

Merry Christmas in July!!!

Today, my Mom marveled at the fact that it was 70° inside the house and it was 87° outside. I just looked at her and said, “It’s like the air conditioning is brand new?!”

And then I smiled at her because it IS brand new because I just bought it! I had to live through nine summers with window air conditioners in my house. I must say that I really like that my air conditioning is brand new. This truly feels really nice!!!

I’m grateful that I was able to get the air fixed in the nick of time because I am really feeling sick now but I think that might be because I am NOT on my supplements because of my procedure coming on Tuesday. Either way, this brand new air feels wonderful!!!

Yesterday evening, my Mom asked me what music I was listening to. She asked me that because she did not recognize it. I told her that I’m listening to my music from my “Songs of Surrender” playlist on Hallow.

I told her that I felt ‘strange’ and my normal music was not going to cut it! I remember back when I was seeing Parker as my MRT (Muscle Release Technique) therapist. I called him my rubber, and he hated that! I explained to him that rubber is spelled, rub-er, because he rubs me.

In one of our conversations as he was rubbing me, we had spiritual conversations often; I remember once he told me that I should listen to praise music. I told him that I try to get into it, but I just can’t! He told me that I should because that music, are prayers straight to God!

I listened to the “Songs of Surrender” playlist on Hallow during the Easter season. I liked it so much, I saved it. I listened to it last night because I felt so strange I was hoping for some kind of relief. But this morning, things went from ‘strange’ to ‘can’t.’ Because, how it feels right now, I really ‘can’t’! But I have to until Tuesday!
