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!:

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…???

Sean has told me before, almost apologetically, that he can’t get into U2. I told him not to worry at all, and I LOVE them enough for both of us!

We were talking yesterday after he got home from work, and somehow he said, “ I think my favorite U2 song is, “I’m a little while.” I gasped and told him that that is my favorite song! He just responded, “I know. I am played it all of the time!

I said to him, “Yeah, I guess I did!” Because I did in both of our apartments, and in our house. I still do it!:

I might be on the cusp of some thing kind of important tomorrow, and this song comes into my head, because I am remembering my very first night at Western Michigan University! I was so scared!:

Because my mind is on the Wiggles, I HAD to share this song because this was the tail end of Sean being interested in the Wiggles, but I was all in! I had to change it though, but little did I know that Zoey 101 would be waiting for us in our apartments!!!:

Sean texted me this last evening but I was still wearing my contacts so I knew I wouldn’t be able to watch it until later:

I almost forgot about it but then, when I watched it, I gasped and I loved it in response to Sean’s text:

My Mom was laying down, and when she awoke, I explained the language and told her to watch the video! She could not understand why the guy who’s concert it was was drowning out the Wiggles. I told her that if Sean saw the Wiggles I like that, he would sing just as loud as that guy was!

I was singing the Wiggles song in my head as I was getting into bed last night and I’m still thinking about it today because we talked to Sean about it and I really like that I was put back in a place that was probably three years after my diagnosis and I was just on the cusp of getting Canadian crutches. We were still living with my Parents then.

I was the absentmindedly scrolling through YouTube and I saw this video which made me think about the fact that people have told me that I sing like LeAnn Rimes! Well, I never liked that because I didn’t really like her voice but I can’t sing anymore anyway, so I guess it doesn’t matter:

I didn’t like this rendition either because she sings falsetto, and I never sang that way so I will put the version of the single that I bought from Musicland Maybe it was Sam Goode by then?

I hope that this can all be rectified tomorrow! Fingers crossed! I’m listening to Sade to relax myself!:

I have had a lyric in my head for almost a week now. And it’s just this:

I couldn’t remember where I heard that lyric from. But it persisted in my head for almost a week until right now as I’m laying in bed trying to fall asleep, it hit me! My freshman year at Western!!! I listened to this song the very first night I stayed there and my roommate wasn’t there yet. I was such a melo-dramatic kid! Here is the line right before:

I posted this song so many times on my blog because I really dig it and I dig the memory because that is where I live now…
