I was able to smash out a reasonable rendition of Mojo Pin by Jeff Buckley tonight.
This is like winning 100 Olympic gold medals and also the lottery several times.
Goodnight everyone β€οΈ

Just tacking on to this post to tell you I've had Mojo Pin stuck in my head and have been singing it (enthusiastically but not terribly well unfortunately π) ever since you posted this. How did I forget about Jeff Buckley? His music was such a huge part of my life at one point, and his was one of those celebrity deaths that make you feel like the whole world stopped for a moment.
I forgot about him for a couple of years then he just popped into my head again one day.
Kinda takes you to another place.
I've been trying to sing a song of his (except hallelujah) for years and years.
Needs practice but I got most of it down.
His voice was really something else, how he effortlessly moved from his upper to lower voice. If you can even straight up just sing one of his songs you're doing well IMO.
There's a loooooot of really fast, really sharp breaths. That's the killer. If you miss one, the whole next line is out of key because of how high you have to reach.
And thank you :)
Melbcat asked for uppies today and proceeded to have a long cuddle and scritches with a visitor! That was so cute. She pouted and sulked when cuddle time had to end before she was ready.

Sheβs still crying and wanting extra food (among a couple of other things) so I called the vet again about steroids for ibd flare. They talked about the side effects, blamed the osmolax, told me to monitor and call back Monday.
It seems they donβt want to deal with it but I keep calling to stay on it as long as sheβs not feeling well. If thereβs something I can do for her comfort I will.
Iβve managed to screw up my sleeping pattern again.
Sunny today and less so tomorrow, looks like today's the day Mt Washmore π§πΌββοΈ
Thank you for the reminder, I was going to do some washing too but somehow got distracted enroute to the washing machine. I somehow ended up vacuuming the house and putting on a batch of yoghurt and completely forgot the washing!
