Back When Michael Looked ,ah, Pretty Much Normal

...and dancing   songs   held  (cough)*great advice* to live  by.
  
 
Off the Wall ( Michael Jackson)
When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you cant hang with the feeling
Then there aint no room for you this part of town
cause were the party people night and day

Livin crazy thats the only way

Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life aint so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

2nd verse
You can shout out all you want to
cause there aint no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there aint no one whos gonna put you down
cause were the party people night and day
Livin crazy thats the only way

Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Cmon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life aint so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Bridge
Do what you want to do
There aint no rules its up to you (aint no rules its all up to you)
Its time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)

3rd verse
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old

cause were the party people night and day
Livin crazy thats the only way

Chorus
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoy yourself
Cmon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you
Life aint so bad at all if you live it off the wall
Life aint so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

 
Today this song came on the radio  and I started to sing along and  sway a bit ...
 
Hey--when I was  15 years old, no problem was too large that I couldn't boogie it away ,because the funk wouldn't leave me alone ( that lyric ,er ,sage  sentiment  was expressed  by the Brothers Johnson  in the song  "Stomp") . 
 Yeah I was into  disco. I've  mentioned that here before.
I'm standing firm to it, so  castigate me all you want.
 
 If it makes me wiggle ,I'm not gonna deny  the power it unleashes in me. 
 
Not saying that I can't still feel a groove , but  yanno, it doesn't quite make everything alright  anymore.
 
Thirty years ago ...life was indeed simpler .

Beautiful Days Ahead

It's here , it's here !( Blog author basking in freckle making  activities)
 
Shiny , shiny Springtime . Time for  the golden warm up,  sneeze producing  pollen  and more  days soaking up the sun on porches like a lazy cat on a  window sill.
 
Sydney with her  work of art from earlier this week.
 
My excitement this week, beside  the 70 something degree days we experienced , was the fact that after the past two and a half months of jamming  my feet into velcro tabbed chunky /clunky  snow boots...I can wear my leather clogs again.
Boo Yay !
 
 

Funny thing a few weeks back  Eddie was talking about  about the vernal equinox and raw eggs standing on their end  unassisted.

Got out some eggs from  the fridge, played with them then to our great surprise  one  just stood on it's own  for several minutes..

Ran and got the camera , even  tried it with other eggs in the carton and the same one again -- but  that was all she wrote .

Freaky  pre -vernal equinox happenings alright...

Well butter my butt and call me  a biscuit !

Spring Forward

As the clocks move forward again for  this year , and we have  dealt with setting all the time changes  in the house, I realized that  Easter and Spring ( or is it  the other way around...where's my calendar?) are on the way  for this year already.
Wasn't it just  January? The year is moving forward  , and thankfully so is my recovery .
 
Everyday  I feel a bit more like my normal self  again.
 
< this is where Eddie usually says, "Normal...when was this ??!">
 
Apparently he loves my nutty self,so  yanno  I can't really complain .
 
I'm up to  two  physical therapy sessions  a week  , and this past week they really worked the dickens outta me.
 
I ache for two days afterward, but I realize that without pain there is no gain.
 
I am determined to  become as strong as  the day before the accident again .*Steely eyed resolve seriously set on my face*
 
We have friends showing up next month for visits , and I  don't want to be dragging my legs behind me  while everyone else has fun.
 
 Sure they will understand, but  I want to be able  to  keep up as much as possible .

The return of  warmer weather heralds gardening projects, walks , and life  returning to a fuller swing outside again in general.
 
Regular  sunshine in itself is a  thoroughly seductive thought  , and after all --I DO need to start working  on my nose freckles for the year.
