Well, I can’t decide if it’s. “One of Den Days” or #DirtyHairDontCare but I think it’s a combination of the two. Change in weather is always hard on me, harder now that I am 20 years into this mess but Take your pick what’s up what you want to call it but this one’s a rough one!

Yesterday, the final leg of the u2 virtual tour was on but I have felt bad yesterday. Well, I don’t feel much better today! That seems to be happening a lot more these days but I slept with my window air conditioner on last night because it was too warm (and yes I still have those!) and this morning, my house was cold. So I turned the heat on! The fact of how much I cannot control my body temperature anymore really hit me when my heat turned on when I started to watch the u2 concert from last night.

It wasn’t from last night though, it was from:

it was from France and they still knew all of the words! I could only watch a few songs at a time and it’s taken me all day to watch the entire concert. They ended with, “One” and the sun before that was, “Bad” so I dug it, actually, I thought the whole thing!

I just finished Easter dinner and I had some pie. Sean came over earlier today and retrieve his Easter basket because I got him one! He’s my ONLY child and he will ALWAYS be my ONLY child! Giftgiving is my love language and even though he tells me that he is, “A grown man” I tell him just to, “Take the d*mn presents!” He will always be my, “Little boy!” regardless of how old he gets!

My brother, Jimmy, came by today to touch up my wax. A spot was messed on my jaw. He came in wearing a mask and I was not. He told me that I was forgetting something and I kind of shook my head. Then he asked me if I was completely vaccinated and when I nodded, he asked me if he could hug me. I nodded again and since he is also fully vaccinated, we hugged!

I hug my Mom every day because she is my caregiver. I put my arms around her when she transfers me so it’s really not a hug even though we have hugged each other purposefully in the past year because we were the only ones in “Our bubble.”

Sean got his first shot yesterday and I am excited and the best Moother’s Day present I could get is to hug him because it has been over a year! My brother, Jimmy, was my first Covid hug. It was SO NICE!!

Given that today is today, I posted this song and both Twitter in Facebook because it’s, ”April 4” and I LOVE this song!!!:

I remember way back in the fall of 2005, I had just moved into our first apartment and I used to talk on the phone all of the time with my friend, Joe Wegjet, all of the time! We talked about the most random things all of the time and he used to call me, “‘Fer” and I called him, “‘Seph” because we talked about how people’s names get shortened with the first syllable like us, Jen and Joe. So we decided to call each other by the LAST syllable!

This was back when Columbia Music House was still a thing and I was a member! I told him that U2 my favorite band in the world and I am their number one fan! He asked me if I owned all of their albums. I told him that I did not so he asked me if I really could be their number one fan if I didn’t own all of their albums?! So you know I HAD to order most of them for $0.01. He asked for me back then if there was any album I did NOT like. I answered him very quickly and said, “Pop.” He laughed at my quick answer but I really didn’t like it.

Fast forward to today in 2021 and I have lost contact with ‘Seph and wouldn’t you know that u2 is holding a virtual tour. I have already watched two concerts on my phone at night. One concert was from 1983 but I loved every moment of it! The third leg of the four concert series is:

I was willing to give it a try once I learned the details of the concert:

On my 15th birthday?! My Quinceañera?! I never had one so I thought this would be okay to watch because I LOVE live music and I LOVE BONO!!!

Since we are 16 years from that conversation I had with ‘Seph amd I am so much more physically sensitive now, the reason I didn’t like the album, “Pop” was because it was too, “Techno sounding.” Well, “Techno sounding” translates to having lots of flashing lights which for me is definitely a no-go now.

I am saddened to say that I watched probably 20 minutes of it and had to stop because I was giving me a headache! The concert will be gone from YouTube probably later today if not tomorrow so I will have missed the third leg but I guess I’m okay with that.

There is one song that I really dig from that album though that I learned that I dug it from the best of 1990-2000:

In the little bit of the concert I watched, I did not hear the song but here it is:

It’s the final Friday of Lent and I have watched, Jesus Christ Superstar each Friday! I kind of like this tradition because I love this movie! I don’t think a really saw it until after high school but today I focused on Simon and all of the dancing:

Of course, I still cried at the lepers and Jesus pleading with God in the Garden of Gethsemene:

but, overall, I feel quite contemplative this Lenten season!

Last night, when I put my chapstick on before I went to bed, I felt the plastic edge of the chapstick tube scratching my lips.

I opened a new chapstick today so cue of the drum beat and and I can hear Freddie Mercury!

Yesterday, I had to text Sean even though he was at work and this is what I said;

I watched this show with Sean all of the time! We watched it for a couple years and I got completely invested in the characters!:

I texted Sean which episodes I was watching and I told him about one that Michael is learning how to drive a stick shift and he responded with this:

It was a lot of fun to watch this show on Teen Nock and I couldn’t believe that I was watching in but I really liked it! I also texted Sean that Zoey broke up with James (I never liked him and wanted Chase to come back). As that episode progressed, I realized that was my favorite episode!!!:

I speak every text I send because my hands don’t have the dexterity needed to type but sometimes what I say is not what the text writes. It’s not Cheese, it’s Chase!

Sean texted me that they don’t show that episode very often and I was grateful that I got to see it and the random day that I didn’t watch the news or watch a Hallmark channel movie (which I am watching right now!). So, since seeing that final episode yesterday, I am reminded clearly of our second apartment and that final episode aired on May 2, 2008. I’m thinking about all of the trailers for that final episode and I hear this song in my head;

My internal clock has shifted tremendously! A combination of that and the fact that I am having more difficulty falling to sleep at night these days because #MSsucks!

It was late when I was fully dressed and ready for the day so it seems that my internal clock shift will continue today as well! I was sitting here and thinking about a lyric that I could not think of the song it came from. “Sleep don’t come easy.” That’s the only lyric I could think of. I finally just searched it on YouTube and no wonder I knew this lyric! But I forgot that it came from Mary J!

I am not going through a break up with anyone; but rather, it seems that I am just breaking up with my physical abilities and my capabilities of taking care of myself.
