I don’t dig this weather at all!!! I was prepared to break protocol and interrupt my chapstick use because I thought it was going to be warm today. I wore my winter coat because of the rain so I have no problem still using my Vanilla Bean chapstick.

I was going to interrupt it for today and tomorrow because I’m leaving the house. But today, it was cold so I’m totally cool with this chapstick. And tomorrow, we BOTH are getting our teeth cleaned. Gail called my Mom and left a message. She doesn’t even spell her name how I thought she did for years?!!!!! She spells it G-A-Y-L-E. Learn something new every day! I think she has been working at the dentist office since Sean was about 10. Maybe younger.

So, tomorrow doesn’t really matter because I’m just going to wear vanilla bean until it’s gone. We show up to the salon for my haircut and the door was locked, but then my Mom knocked and Christina opened it. Danielle‘s dog must’ve been running around.

As my Mom opened the door, we heard the beginning bars of “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga and my Mom said, “Oh, my favorite song!. I ALWAYS think of my Mom when I hear this song:

As I was getting my haircut, I heard this song and it reminded me of middle school, Streamers (the teen nightclub) and my friend Natalie:

As she was waxing my eyebrows, I heard this song and I was teaching. I was still driving back then:

As we were leaving, I heard this song that sounded familiar but I didn’t know who was singing. I have heard it because my Dad used to say it all the time. I see it now, too! He was talking about Judy our dental hygienist. She became mine when Sean and I got our teeth cleaned at the same time. My Dad used to say that getting his teeth cleaned by her. “Hurts so good!”:

I awoke today with a new sensation. Doesn’t that sound fun?! It absolutely has NOT! My complete right hand up to its wrist was numb. Like, completely numb.

I did not freak out and gradually, sensation returned. Came back in about an hour. Later in the day when I was seated in my chair and squeeze my therapy putty, it worked just fine.

I don’t understand why it would be numb because I sleep in one position for the entire night. I know that my nerves are shot and its manifesting itself.

Ray emailed me today what he was going to send to the doctor, but wires are crossed and it really stinks but I think I sent it to her in MyChart. That’s what I did today and hopefully tomorrow, things can start moving.

I’m definitely NOT in the song mood, but I should just leave this one here because I always think of this song when I say that statement:

I’ve been thinking of this song:

Sean just got reconnected to his Apple Music and we were talking about Boy bands. I told him how my friend from high school says that her husband does not know New Edition.

He mentioned the group High-Five. I vaguely remembered it. And then he started to mocking it with a high voice, and I joined in on the last word! I absolutely know that song!!! what am I 13 or something?! I looked it up and I was 10:

Oh, if you read that last post ‘Regulate,’ I cannot control my body temperature even more now!!! It’s terrible!!! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!

My Mom got this text. She is responsible for texts pertaining to me because she is awake when I am not. She sent it to me today:

Ray told us that it was going to be a month. But he said it could be ready to be serviced next Friday?! Seriously?!!!!

I was trying to think of the word that I am feeling and every word I thought of were lacking. They all had negative connotations. At first I thought, befuddled, and then baffled, and then bemused. They all fell short. I was talking with my Mom about it and she said ‘amazing’ and that was the word I was looking for! And you know what song was in my head because I am 44 years old!:

I saw Michigan make it to the Elite Eight. I saw this commercial as I was watching the end of the game:

I love that songs from my youth are in commercials now so I can have a memory from high school attached to it and I can jam!!!:

I got my haircut and my eyebrows waxed today. I was sluggish today. Christina asked how I was and I told her that it has been cold for too long! I thought it was going to be spring but now it’s back to being cold and that hurts.

She told me to hold on and that soon it will be spring but then I reminded her that I get super warm and that’s not good either! I really am a reptile! We heard this song and my mom said, “My favorite!”:

It is completely out of season to watch this movie, but I thought it was cute and I liked this song. I’ll ‘splain you later…:

Last night, as I was sitting in my bed before my Mom took my chair to be plugged in, my cheeks felt crazy!!! That was a feeling that I had never experienced before, and it scared me.

When my Mom got to my room from plugging my chair in, I told her about it and she put the cream on my face as if I was wearing Calvin Johnson eye black:

I knew that my Mom would not get that reference so I didn’t even say it and I’ll wait until I speak with Sean because he completely knows that reference!!! We loved watching him every Sunday, and Sean was young enough to watch it WITH me!!!

It really shows my age because I had a hard time finding pictures of him with his eye black on. I remember when that was so new and cutting edge!!! But now he is just a businessman. But that’s how I wore my cream last night because my face felt crazy!

I told my Mom that I may need to change the cream that I am putting on my face because the weather is changing. She told me that Mrs. Hutcherson wears it all year and I told her that my skin is different.

I think that is a statement that my mom really isn’t really prepared to handle just yet. It scares the crap out of me, but it seems to be happening all the time now!!!

This afternoon when she woke me up, she asked me how my face felt. Given the fact that it is daylight savings time, and that makes me feel terrible, I just said, “I’m not okay.” I don’t know if it is just my age or where I’m from but I totally thought of Eminem when I said that and this song:

I reposted yesterday about my doctor telling me that I had a calculus.

That was last year in January. In March, I had urogram (where did she put hot IV fluid in my body to take pictures of my organs) that was insane! After that, it led to me getting a different doctor and I had surgery in August.

Post op told me to make another appointment in six months, hence my February appointment. I have to remember about it because it was so strange and the very first time I ever had an appointment like this! I was a bit scared!

My Mom stayed with me in the entire time and helped the nurses who were not equipped in dealing with such an infirmed person.

Dr. K wanted to see how my calculus was doing. She had blasted it all last August. But my Mom saw a stone. Dr. K was not concerned by it and she told me to make an appointment for six months (which Jason made for me) and based on that one, maybe I will just have to go annually.

I liked the sound of that! I was thinking about it because I know I had shared this song, but I couldn’t find it. I had shared it before after I found out that I had a calculus. I wanted to hear that song so I watched the video. Man, Chris Cornell looks so rough. And it’s kind of haunting that he has committed suicide since this video. Here it is:

Sean told me a while back that he saw a video on TikTok and it had a song playing in the background. He couldn’t understand why that was making. His heart feel funny until he realized that he remembered that song from From sitting in the backseat of my Malibu.

I listened to the Audioslave CD for one summer. Sean was either five or six. I listened to that CD on loop for that entire summer Like a Stone was my favorite song.

Makes me think of that Diet Coke commercial but I don’t drink Diet Coke and I no longer drink pop at all. But I guess its kind of true:
