My bounce back from my three day van excursion is taking a lot longer than anticipated. I thought I would write about it today but I guess not. My feet are killing me! STILL. Hopefully I can write about it tomorrow. But for right now, it’s easy. This song has been in my head since this morning and I prefer a more mature Lionel:

My feet really hurt today and A Facebook friend and fellow and MSer posted this and I paused and gasped:

It looks like this recovery time is taking longer and I didn’t even put my contacts in again today. My feet hurt so much though! Hopefully tomorrow, I will tell you all about it. I hope I am NOT broken and I am just bent which will ALWAYS remind me of Sean and this song:

A dj on the Pulse while we were driving to Barwis Methods, “It looks like it’s Pink and Nate at number one for the 13th week. So a little 13 week old baby does not know a world without Pink and Nate at #1”

I am in the middle of a puzzle but I heard this song that I have never heard before and I couldn’t even identify who was by so I stopped puzzling and listen to the words and it made me laugh because I actually did the same thing! But what I said was, “You’re right, I’m wrong.” Repeatedly. Then I was asked why I did not want to fight and I said because you are right and I am wrong. 😂😂😂

And the progress of the puzzle:

It’s only 58% done so far:

How did I also miss this one, also?! This one definitely would have been one of my jams back when I lived in the land of the able-bodied. As I am transitioning to the land of the chronically ill, it’s quite difficult for me. This song makes me remember being in the land of the able-bodied:

AND, a side note: she’s redheaded!!!

I almost forgot, the puzzle:

But it’s another puzzle with the wrong piece?! So irritating!!!:

My feet hurt a lot today which is so strange because I have NOT felt my feet in over 20 years! My Mom is resting and my phone is about to die. I decided to listen to some music on my iPad in case my phone dies. I thought about all of my pay playlists on my Apple Music and I decided on my James Blunt, Back to Bedlam album because that allows me to escape back to my apartment living on I could still drive and just started teaching. I was so hopeful for the future…

I have been on the verge of tears all day so far! tears have been stinging my eyes and I wipe them away with my sleeve. I am completely sleep deprived! I was able to doze off a little bit before four in the morning and was wide awake at 7:30. That Suzanne Vega song was paying in my head and it was pure torture!!!:

Instead of being ripped from my sleep I couldn’t even fall asleep to begin with. I reposted earlier today a post from June 2021. That’s when I got the socks I am currently wearing. But the compression is no longer tight enough because my legs have gotten thinner. That is a whole ‘nother discussion for later but I could not fall asleep because my legs felt so terrible!

I was able to get a new prescription from my neurologist who I am seeing at the end of June and on Monday, we are going to get new socks! I don’t think they get smaller than a size one. And that’s a different discussion for a different day but I just need to handle three more sleeps until my legs feel better!

I completed five puzzles last night while my Mom rested. I have completed 295 puzzles. I am becoming increasingly aware of how small my world actually has become. It’s kind of really sad and I will choose to think about something else…

I was told in the first years of my teaching that you know someone is old when they listen to music from their era instead of listening to new music. Well, I am officially old! I am 40!! Some new songs I like but I got to stick with my ‘oldies but goodies’!!!

While I am puzzling, I listen to Apple Music on shuffle but I always start with the Sara Bareilles song and I let the music take me wherever it will. I do skip some artists though. I am NOT a John Mayer fan. I skip songs that come on from him but one band that I constantly hear and I’m not sure if I like them or I like what the band’s sound reminds me of?:

I’m embarrassed now to say that I owned this CD. I was too old to get into the ‘doomed youth’crowd but I was teaching middle school so my kids listen to this!

I’ve been hearing so many songs from The Fray but I never skip them because they remind me clearly of my second apartment living where I was mostly in the land of the able-bodied. It’s nice to think about that time and remember…

This puzzle was free and I can’t figure out what it is. Why is there a tortilla chip?!:

As I was completing the puzzle which TOTALLY distracts me from my pain and discomfort, I heard this song and I remember hearing it and singing along with the radio. I think about the fact that I no longer can sing all of the time but I don’t have the strength to get that much air into my lungs anymore which is really sad when you think about it…

It was a pretty laid-back day today. I started to use my strawberry Chapstick this morning and Sean, my Mom and I had dinner. Once he left and my Mom laid down, I started puzzlin.’ I knew that strawberries were the theme for today and I completed this puzzle in honor of it:

It’s supposed to be really warm tomorrow so it’s good that I started my summer chapsticks. I heard this song and I bought the CD for Sean when he was like seven but I never heard this song. I put this on my blog because it deserves a second listen by me. I was definitely in a different place when Sean was seven! If I would have known about this song it probably would have been one of my jams:

I had just finished this puzzle:

I was in the process of choosing another puzzle when this song came on and I had to stop and share it because this song is so near and so dear to my heart!
