That’s Not Something You Think Every Day #15

I had a massage this morning by a man for the first time in my life. He worked on my (frozen) shoulder for an entire hour and gave whole new meaning to the word “man-handled.” Wow, that guy was strong. He kept saying, “You’re going to be sore later.” I’m thinking, Because this is such […]

That’s Not Something That Happens Every Day #3

I had a fun little texting conversation yesterday with my producer down in Nashville, the one I’m going to go see in September. Me: “Hi, Producer. I finally posted my good news on Facebook.

In my last post, I announced that I was going to Nashville to record my song. This is what happened during my Zoom meeting with the producer: Producer: “I’d like to do a video in addition to the song to further tell your story.” Me: “Okay.” Playing it cool while inside I’m thinking, This is […]

That’s Not Something You Read Every Day #14

Now that I finally made it through the (second) MRI intact, it’s time to get my records ready for my follow-up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon coming up on August 4. Today, I called the imaging place down in Kirkland and explained that I needed the report as soon as possible. The nice woman explained […]

That’s Not Something You See Every Day #13

When I finally got through with my MRI—successfully this time as opposed to last time—I texted my husband four rapid memes right in a row as my driver drove my sleepy body home. (Valium is a wonderful thing.) What more could a person want to help celebrate this momentous occasion than Jesus, some random exuberant […]

That’s Not Something You Think Every Day #14

Boy, according to this blog post I did back in 2016, I sure am afraid of a lot of things. The sad thing is, I’m talking all boldly in that post about how I’m not going to be afraid anymore. Instead, I have added rattlesnakes and MRIs to the list. Wish me luck today y’all. […]
