A Whole Lot of Wax!!!

So this happened on Friday:

That is the last of my summer flavor pack of Chapstick that I bought probably two years ago (maybe three). The watermelon tasted too waxy so I threw it out after I had used about half of it.

I told Sean today that because it Saturday, I am using my Strawberry Sorbet so I won’t start working on that bag of Chapstick until tomorrow. Hopefully I will finish that bag soon! That always makes me think of EXTREMELY fond memories of teaching and that student coming up with that name for my lotion. I remember that it made me laugh so much!

Once I finish this bag of Chapstick, I will go to my REAL Summer Flavor pack:

And now after this bag of Chapstick is finished, I think I have all of my seasonal flavors set! Man, when I think about it, that is a whole lot of wax on my lips!!!

Burn

I awoke to tingling feet. I hate that! I haven’t felt my feet in over 21 years but that is what wakes me up and it’s just a tingle for a little while and then the tingle turns into a burn!

I have to let my Mom know that I am awake and then she will wash my feet while they are burning. This morning, I kind of slept in a little bit and she needed to drink coffee to avoid a headache so I let her do that.

I laid in my bed and I turned to my left and I saw the light streaming through the windows and then I turn to my right and I see my wheelchair blinking because it is still plugged in.

I stared at the ceiling as I waited, I immediately thought of this song. I’m sure there have been so many songs but I can’t see past my pain right now but this morning, I thought of this song so maybe that’s an improvement. My feet burn right nw though!!!: :

Rando Tune #13

I saw a post that my cousin had posted that wished my uncle Bob a Happy Father’s Day. I wished my uncle Bob a happy Father’s Day and right after I did that I had a crystal clear memory of driving back home from college with my cousin, Melissa. She is the reason I went there and both of our boyfriends were staying closer to our house so we made that drive often. We would switch off who would drive and we had a great conversation on the way.

I was driving and Cheese (my cousin) was sleeping in the passenger seat. She had already told me that she did not like the new Nelly Furtado song which I absolutely loved and would hear it all the time at the rec center!

So, she is sleeping and it comes on the radio. Every time I heard that song, I HAD TO jam to it! So I slowly turned it up one notch at a time. Her eyes were still closed and she just turned over a little bit and she told me, “I hear that.”

I remember watching this video in my room in my dorm and this bothered me but I thought the numbers were in white:

This song has been in my head since I wished my uncle a happy Father’s Day:

My First…

I am so exhausted but I wanted to let you all know that I had a first yesterday. I wore my very first Matthew Stafford article of clothing!

I think that I ordered this shirt in April which is months after the Super Bowl so it was half off! I had to get it! I rocked it yesterday and I was so excited to show Sean that I am actually wearing a Matthew Stafford t-shirt. 😍😍😍

This van rental excursion for this month was a bust because I did NOT get my haircut and I did NOT go to my eye appointment but I still think it was productive! Once my hairdresser had to cancel my appointment for my wax and cut, my Mom was able to take the van and get her hair colored! I canceled my eye appointment to go to the emergency room which proved to be a good thing because I did not end up in the hospital!

I told my Mom when she commented on the look on my face this morning that she got an award but I got at least another month of excruciating pain!!! Yesterday when I told Sean that this is my first Matthew Stafford shirt, this song popped into my head because who doesn’t love some Barry?!:

I’m going to try to make another appointment for next month but I really can’t see that well now and I’m tired!!!

The MOST 1990s Scene!

Sean came over to be with Leia when he got out of work while we were at the emergency room. She is on steroids that are making her go pee a lot and we didn’t want to leave her in her cage.

We were at the emergency room for just about an hour and we had been seen by the doctor and he said that he didn’t Need to do anything further and we just need to keep doing what we’re doing. We picked up Panera on the way home for all of us.

Sean was watching basketball when I got into the house. We talked as we ate and then my Mom was going to take the van back. The NBA championship was on and we watched it. I told Sean that with my glasses on, I can see everything. That was not the case years ago when we watched basketball when he was in high school.

So, the Celtics are playing the Warriors and as I was talking with Sean this song came on that was playing in the stadium. I told Sean that it was the most 1990s scene!:

The Celtics and Montell Jordan?! And then a little while later, my 1990s scene was confirmed when I heard Pearl Jam:

The Celtics were on a streak in the beginning of the game but they did not sustain it and the Warriors won but I told Sean that if the Celtics won he would have to post this song and some social media site:

The Celtics did not win but it was really cool to remember this time in my young, Able-bodied life!

Rando Tune #9

I had a difficult day. And then it started to rain. I am so scared of how I am feeling and my feet hurt. But somehow, through all of this, this song is playing over and over in my head. I bought the tape single with my own money from Musicland at Fairlane Mall when I was 11. It’s crazy the random things that I remember but how I am feeling scares me and I wonder if this is the ‘last splash’?:

Rando Tune #8

I really have been thinking about my eclectic musical taste in high school. I just posted about music videos in the 90s. A friend posted this and I had to write about it!:

It was fun for me to think about my high school days! Things were so different back then! I wasn’t even diagnosed with MS until after high school. Just months after graduation.

So, thinking about all this old music, I am thinking of my Rando Tune #6 (makes me think of my Dad). I am not sure why I am hearing this song in my head and it kind of is embarrassing and I did not want to share music that I didn’t absolutely love on my blog but this one’s aim my head and I have to put in here because sleep was not an option last night. #MSsucks!!!:

6 Hours Ago…

So, six hours ago, a Facebook friend of mine posted this and I have not stopped thinking about it since she posted it:


Well Jackie: my first instinct was Missy Elliott:

But then I thought about Mase. I had a HUGE crush on him in high school!!!:

These two videos have scenes that one talk like an inside of a cheese grater but I didn’t comment it could have been this one as well, because it could!:

Man, I have loved late 90s rap!!!
