My Mom left to get her hair done so I am at my house alone. I thought to watch Love and Other Drugs because that’s really not a movie for my Mom but I love it!

Sadly, it is not available on any of my streaming platforms and I don’t own it yet, so then I thought of the next best thing I have been thinking about this recently so I decided to watch it, even though I am 41 years old and by myself. I HAD TO watch Pocahontas!!!

Sean butt dialed me while he was working and I texted him this just the same once the movie was over, and I sang the entire time that I watched the movie!:

I was home alone, so it does not matter how I sounded! I still know all of the words and I have for 28 years now!

It was so familiar to watch, and I found myself sitting in my Parents’ house watching it. It has been a while since I watched it so watching the ending and hearing her sing the line, “Eagle help my feet to fly! Mountain help my heart be great! Spirits of the earth and sky, Please don’t let it be too late!”

I am not even ashamed to say that I cried while singing it because I did! I say those lines anytime I am in a hurry, and I need something to happen quickly!:

When I turned my TV on, it was on the Hallmark channel and I saw the last 20 minutes of the second movie to the Nine Lives of Christmas! I’ve seen that movie so many times, but I had to see the happy ending where they get engaged and adopt the kitten together!

I guess that ‘Christmas in July’ movies is a thing now?!

My Mom and I watched the first Narnia movie a few days ago. I haven’t seen it in so long that it was like watching a brand new movie. I liked it because I remember watching this with Sean when he was 7 or something?

But at the very end, when Aslan is giving everyone their crowns, he crowns Peter last, and he says that he crowns him, ‘Peter the Magnificent.’ When I heard that you know that I thought of our second apartment and when u2 was on Letterman all week:

But here’s the thing, on Monday of that week, I stayed up to watch letterman, even though it’s past my bedtime because I had to work the next morning but that Monday I realized that at 26, I am too old for their target audience, and I didn’t find it funny at all!

So, I just had to adjust my game plan. I set my alarm for 10 minutes before the show was over so then I could wake up and just watch them perform and then go back to sleep.

I got this email a few days ago and let me ‘splain ya:

I have been shopping at Kids Footlocker since I started buying shoes for myself in high school. I didn’t get this email address until after Sean was out of kid’s shoes.

But, after problems with my feet in 2022, I changed to a different pair of shoes. I think that will be my last pair of shoes because I’ve had them for over a year and they still have not been on the outside sidewalk.

I clean out my email folders every morning when I wake up and I got a different email from kids footlocker but I just put it in the trash. When I see emails with Shelltoes on it, it makes me feel nostalgic and I remember rockin’ those shoes for years! I tell myself every time, “Unsubscribe already!” But I can’t seem to bring myself to do it…

I heard this sound coming out of my kitchen a couple nights ago, and I started to laugh, and immediately thought of Ned’s Declassified!!!

let me ‘splain ya:

I read this article a few days ago and sent it to my Mom:

I sent that article to her because she was talking about an increase of drain flies in both my kitchen sink and my tub. She told me something like “Well that’s in New York.” I told her that we are closer because we are five minutes away from Canada!

That statement made her think and she decided to do something about them a few days ago. My Mom knows that I am chemically sensitive so she decided to do something natural. She decided to pour a mixture of baking soda, salt, and vinegar. She started it in my kitchen, and as soon as I heard the fizz, I thought of Ned’s Declassified!:

I started to laugh when I heard her yelp! Baking soda, salt, and vinegar, is a science project!!!

That’s what made me think of Ned’s Declassified! Sean and I used to watch that all the time on Nickelodeon when we lived in our second apartment!

As for the drain flies, my Mom is going to do another science project tonight. She has done it for two nights, and the flies are lessening. I was looking for a picture for Ned’s Declassified. And I think it’s crazy that they are so old now.! Well, Sean was like 6 and he’s 21 now?!:

The writers strike is taking too long and last night while perusing YouTube, I watched this interview:

She has been popping up recently in my feed, and I waited a moment after watching that video and then I scrolled a few videos down and big brother is betting 1000!!!

I don’t know how many times I sang in this song in the bus with Girl Scouts or basketball, but we sang it all the time!!!

The weather was awful when I woke up, and I think it was during an audio rosary and just after I counted five of the biggest cracks of thunder in my life when I closed my eyes and got into the Power Stance.

I held my fists to my hips for a long while, as my eyes were closed as I tried to muster some kind of strength. But then I felt a tear threaten to creep out of my right eye. I tried to lock my jaw to make it stop, but then my right eye started to threaten a tear. And then the tears just started to fall.

My shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, as my face was completely drenched with tears, but I just let them fall. I did that until I couldn’t stand all the wetness on my face, and I needed to blow my nose.

I told my Mom that I have never felt like this before in my life because I haven’t and something tells me that a power stands with tears streaming is NOT as effective…

I was reminded of this song as I listened to my Bible in a year for a second time as I was drifting off to sleep…

I love this song!!!

My uncle just drove my Mom to pick up the van for tomorrow’s ‘go time.’ It will only be a one day rental this month.

I have been grappling with this fact for a couple months now, but I think that I have finally accepted it.

My life is just small now. 22+ years in, my life is reduced to scheduling my doctors appointments and renting vans. I except that now. At least I am good at it. I can make schedules for everything and I have for this year. I had that completely scheduled back in April.

Last night, I asked my mom in disbelief, “ is this really all my life is made up of now?!” And the answer is just a simple, yes.

I am having memories of hearing this song in the backseat of our station wagon! I’m not sure if my cousinT is with me or school friends but I remember hearing this song when my Mom would listen to 104.3.

The reason I thought of this song is because yesterday, I changed out my therapy putty. I first learned about therapy putty from one of my MS groups. I posed the question because I was quite concerned about my progressive hand strength loss..

I got the wonderful suggestion for therapy putty, and I bought some last year:

I quickly figured out that if I squeezed the putty for 17 minutes a day during an audio rosary, my hands feel a little bit better. So I had worked my way all the way up to extra firm. It’s red. But I started to notice that it was getting too soft and I needed new putty. I searched for and was able to get these:

I got this 2 pack in January. It was January 18 when I started using it so I knew I would have to change it out on June 18 which is what I did. This is what my therapy putty looked like after 17 minutes of squeezing it:

I think that it will take a couple months for it to soften with my daily,squeezing it for 17 minutes. To close it, I just smash my palm down on the top so I can close the container. That’s why I thought of that song because it looks like a red rubber ball!
