Before I get to the main point of this post a brief catch-up update.
Missed my vet appointment Friday due to a 7 hour nap. But I did wake up briefly and manage to reschedule for Saturday. So kitties are all up to date on shots and Cookie is down to 10 pounds! Mocha is up to 12.1 lbs which probably explains Cookie’s weight loss since I’m still feeding them all the same amount of food. They’re finally over the hunger strike they went on after getting wet food for a couple days.
Sunday I spent all day helping MM move, which was actually fun once we got past the worst parts. I only got a tiny sunburn on my shoulders too, which is lucky considering I didn’t put sunscreen on them at all. I’ll probably end up with some new freckles on my shoulders from that. I’m still a bit sore from all that exercise. Especially my calves from all that up and down on the stairs. A funny moment, after the first trip to his new place we were headed back to get more stuff. Everyone quickly takes off except for me and his sister. So I wait for her to pull out and follow hoping she remembers the way back since I sure didn’t. She pulls over and waves me past because she didn’t remember the way either! I ended up calling for directions and leading the way back. I was happy to see I’m not the only one with a poor sense of direction. 
Monday I actually remembered to take the trash out (including an old bottle of milk that I kept forgetting to toss… I was leaving it in the fridge so that it didn’t go crazy bad out in the garage). I ended up going to bed early, but I realized that the tiredness I’d been suffering from in the mornings might be my meds so I took them at night to see if that would help. So what I learned is that 50mg has no side effects for me… and 100mg makes me super duper tired after about 2 hours and lasting for around 4 hours.
Tuesday was fun cause papa brought over pizza and I got Henry Weinhards rootbeer for us and I made him watch the Incredibles since I knew he’d like it. Then I did dishes while he fixed the deadbolt on my inner door… then we discovered that the top outer lock had stopped working too. So I’m due for a trip to the hardware store for a new set of locks for the screen door.
And now to the important stuff! Conversation about an old cartoon had me thinking of the theme song which I could only somewhat recall the chorus of. Which had me thinking about a friend’s comment about how many songs I knew the words to when we went out for karaoke (I was singing along with pretty much every song people did). With most songs (outside of Christmas carols and Amazing Grace) I’m lucky to remember one line from the chorus. But play the music and I can sing along with the entire song. For the first time I’m wondering how unique this ability is. Just off the top of my head based my iTunes playlists I’m guessing I can sing along with upwards of a thousand songs. And it might be closer to two or three thousand considering I don’t have anywhere near all the songs I’d like. I guess this sorta goes with me learning songs after one or two listens to make up for the fact that I can’t read music. So is this “normal” or a special talent I should be appreciating more about myself?
(Posted the last paragraph to my WoW guild forum and have discovered that this isn’t that uncommon. Yay for learning new stuff!)
