Spanish Lullabies

In the evenings, sometimes my Mom will lay down, and I will mindlessly play solitaire or 3-D tile match. I have certain playlist I listen to depending on how I am feeling. I believe I was listening to a Sara Bareilles playlist I have and was mindlessly playing 3-D tile match.

I heard a song that I recognized and remembered hearing it. I kind of knew the words and I KNOW that I have shared this song on my blog before But I can’t get it out of my head since hearing it yesterday so I found it by searching the lyrics, “You sang me, Spanish lullabies”:

An Influence

I was talking to Sean a few days ago and I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I think that I am an influence on Sean. I’m talking about being a musical influence.

Sean and I have commented on the same song when we see a movie and we listen to a lot of the same music as he was growing up because I was actually growing up as well!

I had told him that my Mom and I watched Never Been Kissed a few days ago and he commented on a song that I was going to put in my blog post I wrote about it, but I decided to go with “Cutting Crew” instead. Here is the song he was talking about:

He told me that was the first time that he heard Madonna and said this was a banger but neither of us had experiences like that in high school.

He has already told me, almost apologetically, that he is NOT into U2! I told him that it’s NOT for everyone but I love them!

My Mom and I seem to be watching older movies these days because it’s easier on my eyes! HD is too much for them and I’m not sure what I am going to do because I use soft lightbulbs in my house, because the LED are too hard for me, they hurt my eyes but the LED is more cost efficient but my eyes can’t handle them but I read that LED it’s going to be the only thing available soon…

“Make It Real”

Today, my Mom put compression socks on me for the first time in about a year!!! I had my pressure sores beginning in April 2022. They lasted until November 2022 and they were most painful experience that I have ever had! And that comes after having a knee surgery and then a child via C-section, and then another knee surgery!!!

I thought I knew what pain was! But I was not at all prepared for the eight months of agony last year! But then, they healed, (because my mom is the best caregiver in the world!!!) and I was able to get fitted for and buy three more pair of compression socks on April 20.

My Mom was able to put them on today. She was surprised at how easily they went on! I have gone from a size 3 compression socks back when I tore my hamstring. While I was working out at Barwis. And then I was a size 2 for a couple years and now I am a size 1.

I told my Mom that my legs feel cradled like when I had Kinesio tape on my torn meniscus! I really like it! Today, my Mom said to me just after she put them on, “It’s been a year since you wore them!” You know what song popped into my head and has been playing over and over again since she told me that this afternoon!:

I think I was like five years old and I used to sing the song with the radio all the time!!!

[NotSo] Rando Tune #38

It was a successful, “Go Time” but I am thoroughly exhausted! We got three new pair of compression socks today and I am super excited to wear them again!!!

We explained to the women working there, how I had to NOT wear my socks from April to November 2022, because I had pressure sores and it was terrible!!!

I needed to get resized, because since I have been seeing my nutritionist, I have gained 4 pounds, but I have since stopped seeing her and she told me to call her again when I start losing weight again.

I never thought that my life would be as small as it is right now, but I don’t see it changing from here on out. We got our haircut yesterday and I talked with a woman as I waited. We seem to have the same appointment time because my Mom recalls seeing her last month!

As I was talking with her, a song came on the radio, and I hadn’t heard in so long! This song is from Songs About Jane, you know, before they sold out, but I loved hearing it!:

Gearing Up

I slept until kind of late in the day today. I almost felt rested. I thought that was good though because tonight, I will be in twilight sleeping and as well as Thursday so I will crash on Friday.

I’m quiet today and gearing up for Wednesday and Thursday. I will formally implement my new recalibration and segmentation of my, “Go time.” I guess That I will attach these two songs because I think I need to hear them right now because go time for me is starting to get more difficult…:

I switched up the order of these songs in this post for this month.

Silence.

My Mom went to get her hair colored on Wednesday so I spent Wednesday reclined in my chair in silence. I mindlessly played solitaire and 3-D tile match. I did not feel well because I left the house on Tuesday and I think I wasn’t prepared for me to get such a good report.

Dr. Clark’s appointment was a vindication for me that I guess I know what I’m doing regarding my supplements and what I eat. We told him about what I eat now and he liked it a lot! He is most impressed that I have not been hospitalized since my diagnosis.

The silence continues today even though I did talk to Sean for a little while. I think I am starting to feel better but I’m going to have to do it again on Wednesday. I don’t think that I was prepared for how long it would take to recover or how unable I would be but at 22 years, I think that’s where I am.

Before I went to sleep last night, I told my Mom that I was sitting here in silence the whole time she was gone but I wanted to see this video because I remember watching it a lifetime ago now…:

I love this cover of this song!!! I needed the silence though. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings…???

“Don’t You Forget about Me”

i sawmy naturopath in person today. I have just been ordering supplements for the past eight years! It was a good check up!

Dr. Clark told me that I look the same and he said that I am doing very good with my health! He added two supplements one as needed and I left there very relieved!

Don’t get me wrong that I am extremely exhausted because I am! When we left Dr. Clark’s office, I told my Mom that I think I am going to cry when we get to my house. I am so tired but the tears are not coming! Maybe March was a one off? I still need to write about that as well.

On the way home from Dr. Clark’s office, I saw a tweet but when I clicked on it it had been deleted. The tweet caught my eye because it was from the NFL net work and I just saw the words “Matthew Stafford” 😍😍😍😍😍

Now, I just catch clips on Twitter because I can no longer wake up early enough to watch GMFB. That saddens me but Kay and Nate are gone so that saddens me as well!!!

This was one of my Facebook memories and it got me thinking about pitch perfect because of what Peter said at the end of his segment. I thought to watch the movie but I am tired and I don’t think my eyes can handle that so I will just post a clip of the song!:
