I am tired, but I am not exhausted, but how I feel warrants some u2!!! I’ll put on my u2 playlist specifically just the, “The Best of 1990 to 2000.”What a great album! That reminds me of driving to work at dfcu financial! It’s winter time, and i’m working in the drive-through with Matty and we talked about that song specifically 23 years ago! And yet it is STILL my jam!
There is something about Bono’s voice that speaks to my soul!!! I was trying to decide on a song to post here for your listening enjoyment! I searched a little and I found the complete album AND the B-sides?
This song was commented on in one of my MS support groups. I belong to 17 of them, and they are most helpful! I really like that one of my groups is adding songs to it. (I belong to a group specifically for music lovers with a mess and this one is separate but I love that it’s happening!!!)
So, maybe about a week ago, someone posted this song, and another person commented on it. She said that this song was written when Rob Thomas’ wife was diagnosed with Lupus. Then she added that it is similar to having MS.
I am well aware of that fact, and I know and am related to people who are dealing with living with Lupus! Lupus has a GREAT color, the color for lupus is purple.
Listening to this song after hearing that takes it to a whole nother level!!!
So, I watched Me Before You three times in the past two days and I was thinking that I wanted to continue on with and Emelia Clark marathon. I did not want to watch Game of Thrones again (I binged that in like 10 days or something) so I had to go against the grain and watch a Christmas movie on May 12.
That’s what I did today I watched Last Christmas and that movie hash the best soundtrack ever! Last night, this picture showed up in my phone, so I think that Big Brother knew what I was going to do!:
When it was over, it switched back to the Hallmark channel. That’s what I was watching before, so I just started watching A Crown forChristmas again. Actually, I just let it Play until I was tired of hearing it and then I turned it off.
I think that I will watch this movie between Thanksgiving and December 1 before I watch Love Actually!
My Mom got me my first Mother’s Day present this year, she purchased a movie on Xfinity for me then went to get her hair done. I have been thinking about this movie since hearing about the horses in the Kentucky Derby.
I remember reading about Will and Lou’s trip to the race track and I told my Mom that when I was reading this book that was the first time I’ve read from a perspective from someone who knows exactly what it feels like to be disabled.
My Mom and I were talking today and we pieced it together that we saw the movie together when it came out because I had read the book between teaching my classes and I vividly remember one when I was reading it, and it was in such a good part that I kept reading after the bell rang, and tears were welling in my eyes!
I remember telling my kids that you know that you are reading good writing when it evokes emotion, so I was not embarrassed that I was crying at all! It has been long enough since I saw this movie that I didn’t quite remember it but I knew that it was good. I’m glad that my Mom is not home yet because I am STILL crying!
I had seriously forgotten this song and I was taken back to teaching and my Barwis days! I was still driving back then when this song came out…:
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”:
I am mindlessly playing 3-D tile match and I heard a song that I had to post so I can hear it again just because this one sounded really autobiographical at this moment… it’s for my jam for years!!!:
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…
I have no idea why this song popped into my head, but it did! I had to research it and I was correct, I was riding on an elliptical machine at the rec at WMU:
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!!!
I watched Never Been Kissed tonight, and I haven’t seen that movie since I was in high school! It was like watching it for the first time because it’s been 20 years since I saw it but this song is still a jam!!!:
