Prince is still showing up in my feed a little bit, but it’s been a little while since the hajj, but I saw this and I think it’s just brilliant!

I talked with Sean yesterday on his way home from work. He stopped to get gas and we were talking as he went into the gas station and I heard this song:

He told me that, “Wake up call” is gas station music now! I couldn’t believe that and I told him that I feel like I am in our second apartment. To which he answered, to my delight,”Mr too.”

A few days ago, my Mom wanted to listen to this song as she put my compression socks on and I was TOTLLY down because I put this song on my ‘faves’ back when I was still teaching and working out at Barwis!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song and it completely took way back to when I was teaching and working out at Barwis, just like I KNEW that it would!!!: 😍😍😍

So here’s the deal, I have kept my Lenten promises all the way up until Pentecost. This is the first time that I have done this and that feels great! I really haven’t been listening to music. But now, since it is after Pentecost, I can resume normal activities.

I saw a reel of Prince wearing a red hat when he was inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame with Tom Petty, Bob Seger and George Harrison was inducted posthumously.

Wait. What? How did I not know this? Well the reason is because on March 15, 2004. I was still an undergrad. I still lived with my Parents and my son was three years old. I did not watch things on TV for myself back then. It was a lot of Playhouse Disney.

After I watched that reel, I had to see the performance. It was mind blowing! The next day, the remastered versions of that video came with an explanation:

And here’s the explanation:

And then I started seeing reels of the Super Bowl performance, and I had to watch!!!

And this one too:

This one popped up in my phone last night and I had to include it:

I’m thinking that Prince reels started showing up in my phone because I talked about my friend Aseal talking about the hajj. She has loved Prince for my whole life! Seeing these videos popping up in my phone makes me think of her. I saw her once when I was teaching. She was also teaching, but it was in passing, and that was it.

I have been thinking about her since I read about the mayor of Dearborn going on the hajj and this Prince just make me smile.

I am DEEP into listening to Sara as I try to recover, but this song. I’ve shared this song so many times on this blog in the last 11 almost 12 years. It’s gotten to me a whole lot and I listen to it a whole lot, but I love that line, ‘over your shoulders’ right now:

I am so grateful that I did NOT hear that Alanis Morissette song when the Westland fire department came to my aid:

My Mom said that sirens were not necessary and they listened. I was surprised when I looked to my left and they were getting out of the truck.

My Mom and I talked today and we said that we should always park where the firetruck parked because the lot is big enough. Regardless, if there’s snow, we need to make our own parking spot.

I’m really not ready for this disease progression but it seems to be here now, and I’m quite befuddled by the whole thing!!!

I left the house today to get our haircut and man, was it frigid!!! When we were driving home after our haircuts, I just hugged myself in the back of the van and told my Mom that it is SO COLD!!!

We got into the hair salon, Danielle, my Mom‘s haircutter spoke to us, and I told her that I had not been out of the house since January 17 and man, this is freezing!!!

I have to leave the house next Tuesday to get my teeth cleaned by myself. I mean, my Mom

is driving me, but I am the only one getting my teeth cleaned because I have to get them cleaned three times a year now! This MS isreally getting serious now…
