I just got home from my MRI and I ate my dinner and I am starting to crash now. This was a success but I am exhausted!

I will not leave my house again until next month for another haircut and an appointment with a new primary care doctor. I put Purple Hearts on but I thought of this song as I begin to crash. I was in high school:

My Mom is resting before we begin the final stretch of my tupher. I am feeling it’s starting to settle into my bones but I will grab my thoughts and get this done… this song is what I am thinking after my MRI:

So, my nephews’ mom messaged me Sunday and told me about a new movie on Netflix. She told me that I have to watch it because the guy in it looks like Sean! So that was the movie my mom and I watched that night:

As the movie started, I could see that he looked similar to my son but he did not look like him! I should know because I am his mother! But then, as the movie went on, he made faces that Sean makes and he has the same lips as Sean and I know because Sean has my lips.

i messaged Erica back and said that I agree that he does it look like Sean and she told me that her and her daughter watched it twice. So I watched it Monday night as well. He told me that she asked her daughter who he looks like and immediately she said, “Sean.”

I did not watch it today because I got my haircut and eyebrows waxed instead so I was too tired to watch TV when I got home. As I am reading this now in the early hours of the morning, I may or may not have downloaded the Purple Heart soundtrack on my Apple Music playlists…

I think this is a good transition from my teenybopper movies now then I’m 40 years old. I’m really digging the music as well! I can’t decide which song I like the best so I will just put a couple of my faves here:

I like the stripped version of these songs and it makes me feel not as teenybopper. It sounds more mature. There will be a third showing in the future but not tonight because I have an MRI scheduled.

So, I just wrote a blog post titled Blessed and I edited it after posting it and made it #Blessed because you know what song was in my head!:

I thought of this song because I was actually thinking of Tom Holland and Zendaya‘s Lip Sync Battle and I’m going to put this here because I want to watch again!:

This is the latest game I have been playing on my phone. It reminds me of playing Memory with my cousin, Melissa. It actually helps me with my hand-eye coordination so it makes it easier to put my contacts in. I think my only saving grace is having had them for 28 years so a lot of it is muscle memory at this point, I think.

I have to get three of a kind and put it in the boxes at the bottom. I have been playing for a while and I am on level 150 but I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to win the level but it doesn’t matter because that’s not the point of it anyway for me.

The Apple Music playlist I was listening to finished so a different song started playing and just like that, I was a freshman in college and back at Western!!!

Yesterday, we went to St. Alphonsus. My Mom took so many pictures and as I sat in the car I realized that that’s as much a blow to her as it is to me! She was an adult making all of the memories we all have from there and I was just a kid. My family LIVED at St. Alphonsus! I thought I would share a bunch of the pictures here today but I can’t. I looked at this picture it’s just began to cry… AGAIN!!:

I have ALWAYS been an overly dramatic teenager and especially while I was a student within these walls of both the grade and high school! This is the song that is playing in my head now:

This song seems super fitting to me and I wish I knew how to make a Flipagram and set the pictures I have to this song but I am 40 so I can’t do that!!!

The other day, we listened to Smokey Robinson music as my Mom washed my legs and tended to my feet. Smokey Robinson songs are so familiar to me! It reminds me of being a child because I heard so much of that music growing up! I grew up with so much Motown music so when I heard this song playing from the basement, I thought it was Smokey Robinson. I really like that song and I didn’t think I heard it before.

I went downstairs as my brother Steve was listening to music and I asked him to “Play that Smokey Robinson song!” I don’t think that my brother made fun of me too much when he corrected me to tell me that that song is sung by Lenny Kravitz. I really liked his voice and I think it sounded like Smokey Robinson and that is a hill that I will die on!!!

My Mom and I had a very productive afternoon today! We first left the house and went to the hospital downtown to the infectious disease clinic. Jen says my feet look wonderful and they are almost healed. Tomorrow, Sonya is coming to take pictures and measure my sores and take my blood pressure and temperature and stuff. We will talk about how long she will continue to come. Jen says that I don’t need to see her unless I get another sore and my Mom told her that we do NOT want to see her!

After my good report, my Mom and I drove to Saint Alphonsus. I had to get my OWN pictures! I rarely drive by there much these days even before the pandemic but I think I will be very saddened when it is gone.

I attended there from kindergarten through 12th grade graduation. It was strange to see it and I sat in the van in the parking lot as my Mom walked around to take pictures and I was flooded with 1 million memories! All ranging from kindergarten and playing ‘What Time is it Mr. Fox?’ under the overhang all the way to Homecoming dances and spirit week my senior year!

It was a very strange feeling and after we went there, because we had a van, we went to Dairy Queen and got ice cream! I rarely leave my house and there will only be a Thin Mint blizzards available during the summer and I HAD TO get one!!!

We also picked up a dozen partially cooked pierogi from Sabina’s because that is something I am still able to eat. As my Mom went to get the food, I sat in the van and looked at the pictures of my old school and I thought of this song and when it started playing on my phone, I started to cry! I was not prepared for all of this emotion at all and it will take me some time to unpack it but this is the song that popped into my head:
