Category: A Bit Of Randomness

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.

A Three Act Play

I blowdried my hair today after my Mom washed it. It felt so long as I ran my comb through my wet hair. It completely covers the back of my neck. It feels completely overgrown now! I had my last haircut in mid-February. I didn’t make a March appointment because that’s when everything started to go sideways. I will not make an appointment for April either.

My eyebrows have successfully grown together and the white hair I get in the middle part that I have waxed each month has also grown in. Actually, I have a total of three white hairs that come in in the center of my eyebrows now. So, I am good and hairy right now!

After I combed my wet hair, I began to blow dry it. I have gone from needing an intermission in the middle of a blow drying my hair to it being as if I am watching a three act play. My hair feels a lot longer than it actually is but, the only solace I have is that when all of this is over, everyone will need a haircut and a wax as much as I do!

My The Office Binge Day 30

I am still on season seven but Michael left today and I am distraught! I have seen RENT before and I really liked their version:

I saw that a Facebook friend talked about crying once Michael left and that is exactly where I find myself now! It actually get me thinking about my former colleagues, the CCA OG’s. They were the only colleagues that I had. CCA was the only job I had after I received my bachelors and my masters degrees. I had so many great times with them!!!

A Suspension of my The Office Binge OR I Like Frosting on my Cupcakes

Today, I did not feel well and subsequently slept through my, The Office Binge. It’s a brief suspension of my binge and I am almost finished. Once I awoke from my rather long nap, my Mom told me that she doesn’t like the way I look and I told her that it’s just a, “Bad MS day.” It happens sometimes and I have no control over it.

A Facebook friend and fellow MS warrior posted this and it really is fitting today:

It’s fitting for how I feel today and I like frosting on my cupcakes! Once I awoke, my Mom put Beauty and the Beast on TV. I LOVE this movie!!!

Smiled Through My Tears

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I couldn’t sleep and I saw this on Facebook at about 2 o’clock in the morning:

I read the article and this stuck out to me:

That hospital has been a huge part of my life! My Dad had both of his heart surgeries there and I had Sean there and he stayed there for 31 days in NICU. I spent that month there every day. When I saw this, it made me smile because Journey ALWAYS reminds me of my Mom so of course, I cried but I also smiled through my tears.

Most Random

Something that I’ve learned since my Mom came to stay with me is that talks to my brothers pretty much every day! Often times, she will put them on speakerphone while she’s doing something. I get to talk to them as well when she does this. The other day, she was talking to my brother, Dave, and he said something that my Mom completely knew what he was talking about but I didn’t until she showed me this video:

Dave repeated Shirley Temples’ last lines: “ children shouldn’t be so very bold, “Children should do what they are told, or you will be in a mini one year old.” So he said that during the day and my Mom and I watched this clip at night and I started to laugh!

My brother Dave ALWAYS remembers the most random things! The next day, we watched the video clip with him on FaceTime and he laughed too! I asked how he remembered that and he said that he had no idea and that it just popped into his head.

He said he hasn’t seen that for 30 years regarding the clip. It sounds vaguely familiar that we saw this movie once, probably about 30 years ago because I was a kid. He really remembers the most random things! I appreciated that we all had a good laugh about this song and it’s been in my head since then!
