Not Until the Music Video

Vertical Horizon opened for Third Eye Blind for my very first concert at DTE music theater just after graduation from high school. I saw them perform this song, but it was not until the music video where I really liked it and bought the CD out in Kalamazoo:

I’m pretty sure that my high school friends made fun of me for doing so. It wasn’t the type CD that you listen to on loop, but I’d liked this song! I thought of it last night just after I brushed my teeth.

1993 for the Win!!!

We got haircuts today and I got my eyebrows waxed. I must tell you that this current hot spell is killing me!!! I wore my zippy and T-shirt today because it was 84° outside. I had to leave the house, in this heat?!!!!

I was not prepared for how this change in weather would make my body feel! It feels awful!!! as I sat in the chair to get my haircut, I heard these songs and I know they’re from my childhood and I couldn’t remember when they came out. It turns out, they both came out in 1993. 1993 for the win!!! I can’t believe that I was only 11, but I was. Get aload of these gems!:

Ive written about this song before, but this is walking to go buy cheese pies at New Yasmeen Bakery by my friend, Natalie‘s house!!! We would listen to the song in her room and sing along and then we would walk to the store and we’d be singing the whole way and then we come back and continue doing the same thing!!! I can’t believe that I was only 11?!!!!:

It’s summertime. I’m watching this video on MTV in my Parents’ living room. There is still green carpeting on the floor back then:

Sluggish

So, I had just written about the fact that it’s strange for me to dole out my pills in my oddly-shaped pill box. I just think that I’m going to get the days pills in so it doesn’t matter. That is until today. I’ve have felt sluggish all day long! I did not realize that I did not take my lunch until I took my nighttime vitamins. That’s why I was so sluggish. I will try to NOT do this again!:

And you know that I can’t not hear Bone Thugs-n-Harmony?!:

I’m getting so old!!! 😂😂😂

Rando Tune #62

This song started to play after I was listening to Sara Bareilles a few days ago:

I completely remembered this song, but I couldn’t remember the year it came out. I looked it up, it’s 2002. I know exactly what I was doing back then!!

I was still an undergrad, living with my Parents, and Sean was 1. I remember that I was still driving and I would listen to the CD on my way to a doctor appointment in West Bloomfield. I hadn’t taken the summer semester with 23 credits yet and I was still working at dfcu.

I wasn’t even on crutches yet, back then. It seems like a lifetime ago, but it’s fitting to listen to this song in the Fall!!!

Just Exist.

I didn’t finish pillaging until 12:43 a.m. yesterday. My Mom was laying down and I let her sleep until 1:00. We are on the opposite side of the clock and I don’t know what to do about it!!!

I hear Sara Bareilles saying that, “Sometimes life just slips in through the back door and carves out a person and makes you believe it’s all true…”

I really can’t believe that this is my life now!!! I never thought it would be this bad. I’m still trying to piece together this past summer. I can’t get Anne Hathaway’s song out of my head because that’s exactly how I felt for the entire summer!!! I cried just like she did!!!

There’s something haunting in her eyes and that’s exactly how my eyes felt!!! I like that the weather is better for me to think. I am getting two companies coming tomorrow to look at my garage door and give me an estimate for a replacement. A third one is coming on Friday.

In the meantime, I will just exist. I first told my Mom that a few weeks ago and she didn’t agree with me, but I think she might be seeing that I just exist. I just exist between doctor appointments. We are getting our haircut on the 17th and the following Tuesday. I’m going to see Dr. Clark.

I like that I know what is expected of me, but I never thought this would be my entire life, which is what it is right now. I apologized to my Mom that it’s her life now, too.

At a Loss

I’m glad that the weather has finally broken even though it’s supposed to be a little warm next week. I’m still trying to figure out how to explain how I have felt with all of these appointments in this weather! This song keeps popping up in my head and I think this is kind of how I have felt about these past eight months:

I didn’t know that MS was going to be this terrible, but it is. I’m trying to get my thoughts together about this, but I just keep hearing her say, “ I didn’t know.” I really didn’t know that it was going to be like this and I think I’m at a loss…
