Throwback Thursday: “Save Tonight” by Eagle-Eye Cherry
I actually did a TBT post two weeks in a row! I’m so proud of myself!
So, Eagle-Eye Cherry’s “Save Tonight” is another one that plays when my 90’s alt. rock loving boss is controlling the tunes. Whatever station he has it on is pretty great.
Today Was My Monday
And I felt it, starting at 4:15 a.m.
I woke up with my alarm, rolled out of bed, and stepped just beyond my bedroom door, straight onto a hairball. I guess Marceline was leaving me a message, but I have no clue what I did to piss her off. (She’s shedding terribly at the moment, and she tends to pull out hair, so I know the cause of the hairball itself, just not the location.)
By the time I cleaned up and got ready, I was running late. I’m responsible for opening and it was a near miss, yet I had everything done on time.
The first half of my shift wasn’t that bad. Then I went on my lunch break and managed to dump half of my five cheese ziti down my front. -face palm- So then I had to clean that up and finish my day with tomato sauce on my shirt, pants, and shoes (yeah, I made a mess).
Luckily, some of my favorite coworkers were there and spared me from an even worse day. I came home, took a short nap, and fixed dinner. Now I have showered and am half-asleep and I get to do it all over again tomorrow…hopefully minus the hair ball and the loss of most of my lunch to the floor. Lol.
On the bright side: I bought tickets to see Ghost, Mastodon, and Spiritbox, so I guess it wasn’t all bad.
I hope this post finds all of you well, and that your Wednesday was just a Wednesday. Oh, and because I know he’d hate to be left out: here is my other baby, Vlad.
He’s a furry jerk, but at least he doesn’t hack up hairballs right outside my door.

New Single Alert! Attraction To Tragedy: “My Dear”
Motivation Monday – Shinedown: “Unity”
I have played this song a thousand times in the last two weeks. It’s amazing to me how a song you’ve known for a long time can suddenly speak to you on an entirely different level. After a conversation about what I want out of life with a musician – and his question “What’s stopping you?” – I guess the line And your moment of truth is the day that you say “I’m not scared” just hit harder.
Y’all can watch the video here. I’m just going to share the lyrics for anyone who might need to read them today.
“Unity”
I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way
They say it’s never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye, the past begins to fade
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
I’ve seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I’d do it again
If it brings me back to you
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
One more time
