Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.

A Little Help From My Friends

Yesterday was a bad day and today it is not much better. I really think this whole MS thing is kicking my butt!

I wrote about my friend Ami texting me funny videos to make me feel better. She lives about an hour away from me so I know that’s the best she could do for me! It was very helpful!

My friend, Renee, brought me white bean chili last night. She knows that I am having issues swallowing as of late and it was delicious! I feel most grateful for my friends! They are looking out for me! It makes me smile and I feel loved!

For some reason, I am singing this song over and over in my head and I specifically think of this version:

I love that movie but after tomorrow, my Christmas watching will begin for the next 27 days, until Christmas.

Tune #47 Inspired by GMFB

Two days ago, Jon Bon Jovi was at The breakfast table for two whole segments!

I was kind of surprised at how excited I got for it. Bon Jovi always reminds me of my floor mate, Tonya, at WMU. I tweeted the show and told them to reference, “Make a Memory” but, sadly, they didn’t.

Both Kyle and Peter and even Nate I think referenced a bunch of Bon Jovi songs as they talked to Jan Bon Jovi who is surprisingly is a football super fan! He told them he was going to send over a cheesecake to the studio because it was pretty cheesy. I love, “Cheese” though!

On a technicality, I was inspired to think about this song because of GMFB so, here it is:

This song came out when we were living in our second apartment and it made me think of Tonya back then too! Now, I can add GMFB to the mix!

NOT 40 Yet but I Have Older Brothers!

I’m not feeling well today and my best friend Ami has been texting me fun videos to make me feel better! She sent me this video:

I am not 40 yet but I do have older brothers ( and I am getting close) so I really dig this song! Getting these videos really made me smile! I have so many blog posts to post but I’m not sure I feel well enough to do so yet. In the meantime, you can enjoy this tune just as I am:

Dr. Meizels?

Tonight, I used some of that 2% I feel okay to go with Sean to get our teeth cleaned. How things worked out today was that Sean got his teeth cleaned but I had to reschedule my appointment for January.

As I waited in the waiting room, I texted with my brothers. We are on a group chat and one of my brothers was sending pictures of his vacation. He sent a picture of his view. What has happened is that my other brothers and I will send pictures to the group chat of our view. My brother sent a picture of a beautiful sunset. I sent them all this picture:

I asked the question to the group of who knows where I am at? And my brothers knew where was. Sean and I still go to the dentist I went to when I was a child. I’ve been going there for about 30 years and I had my braces through that office as well. Dr. Meizels was our orthodontist. I let them know that I was listening to soft rock as I waited for Sean. That music will ALWAYS remind me of the dentist! Here is a sampling of some of the music I listened to until Sean finished:

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #66 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #18

I watched, A Milliin Little Things yesterday. That’s my show now that I stopped watching This Is Us once I saw that Randall and Beth‘s relationship was not going to last. The Vietnam footage was hard for me to watch and I told my Mom not to watch the episode when Jack died. But I am Diggin this show so far. It’s only the second season and it has proved to have a good soundtrack!

Yesterday, they played this song at the end of the show when dramatic things were happening and today it showed up in my YouTube feed;

The song fit really well in the happenings in the show and I was happy to see a live version of it in my YouTube feed! I’ve had a busy day with Sean’s Ring Day and then because I had rented a van to be able to attend the mass, my Mom and I went to the movies afterward.

I had a really long day out and I am exhausted but I wanted to post something and absentmindedly scrolling through my YouTube feed, I found this. It is another almost forgotten tune AND a random tune in my YouTube feed.

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #65 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #17

So I guess it’s a duel category for me these days. Random songs show up on my YouTube feed but then they are also almost forgotten tunes! I can’t just say they’re almost forgotten tunes because I saw the video I am a YouTube feed. This one showed up and it reminded me of more able-bodied days!

I no longer sing-along when I hear a good songs because I don’t have the strength to muster and get the air out of my lungs and sound out of my mouth. I think that most people I know now don’t know that I used to be able to sing but now I can’t.

This live version showed up in my YouTube feed so that’s why I am sharing here but it makes me think of other things I recently posted on Facebook.

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #64 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #16

I get my eyebrows waxed and hair cut yesterday because Sean’s Ring Day is tomorrow. I heard this song last night on my ride home. It made me think of my time at WMU. Bon Jovi will always remind me of my friend, Tonya, who lived on my floor, down the hall. I’m trying not to be overwhelmed at the fact that I will see Sean for the first time in his gown at mass. I think that may be pretty overwhelming for me and I’m not gonna lie about it! I most likely will cry!

Given the weather today, I paid for my shirt time out of the house yesterday because I feel absolutely terrible but I had to have clean eyebrows for tomorrow. Regardless of how I feel though, I NEED to be there tomorrow to see my Beeb in his graduation regalia. It will be good to see all of the kids, some of them home I have known since they were in preschool!

I heard this song last night and wanted to remember it so I could put it on my blog but then, it showed up in my YouTube feed anyway! I really do dig this song!:

The Voice Rabbit Hole

This morning, I checked my YouTube feed and I guess I am going down The Voice rabbit hole. I clicked on this video and was amazed! I thought of these songs all day! I don’t even watch The Voice really, I don’t even know how old this video is but:

It took me a minute to find a clean version of this song but I found it!

I’m not a Harry Styles fan but I wanted to keep this in line with the original video and so this song is in there.

But then there is this one which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!

I dig this song too!
