warmth & music

an odd combo of random things i have been enjoying this week...

this movie:



and the way she felt the music.


this stuff:






cooked w/milk and then topped w/half & half.




two of these to warm up my bed before i get in it:





cuz electric blankets make me too hot, and these help with the aches & pains.





these things:


if they're good enough for a baby's butt, they're good enough for my drippy nose/eyes (see below for story).



Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing, honey, if it ain't free.

let's see if i can keep this brief (not one of my strong points):

i was/am tired of using/buying so many tissues for my constantly dripping nose and eyes, so i thought back to the handkerchief days and come up with the idea of trying to find a cloth alternative.

research girl to the rescue!

i went online and found
this site for baby stuff. i quickly determined that i wanted one-ply flannel, i knew i didn't need anything too big, or too fancy...so these flannel wipes in the 'oops' section seemed perfect.

tried to pay with credit card, had issues with stupid paypal, sent them an e-mail asking if i could pay by check instead. casually mentioned they didn't necessarily need to be 'baby' since they were for my drippy chemo nose.

the woman writes me back saying that she has gone thru chemo and wants to send me these for free.

and then she did. i have been using them ever since and they are perfect!

come to find out she is based out of texas, but has family in springfield and nevada, mo.

crazy, nice, small world...huh?

i know!!!

there are angels on earth, i'm telling ya.

angels.

i've always said that i don't have just one guardian angel, that it has taken an army of them to watch over and take care of me. that army seems to be growing.

i'm not sure what i did to deserve all of the good things that come my way. and quite honestly, i really don't think that i do deserve them.

they leave me humbled, grateful, and amazingly enuf...speechless.
