Oh, My Island Women

So, I'm pretty well stuck on Three Plus' song "Island Woman." I can't believe I haven't let the song play all the way through until these last few days. I guess I just dismissed it, as I have with a LOT of the music sitting on my iPod these days. I haven't updated it for quite some time.

I really should, though. I have a fair amount of stuff worthy of putting on the iPod, which may or may not be treatable thanks to Mom's new job with Apple. If you haven't heard about my problem with the iPod, the short story is that I dropped it and suddenly the input to the right side of the headphones no longer works without some strenuous fiddling around (pushing the jack of the headphones in a certain direction). It's ghetto, but I've survived with worse when it comes to personal audio.

Other than that, things are normal. Today marks the second year since my Grandma Betty passed away. I hadn't even been thinking about it till Mom mentioned it on the ride to work. That day was a day marked by sadness. Coming home that day was more difficult for her than us. I remember seeing her so helpless, so sad. The one thing I remember her saying, in a whisper, was "I don't have a mommy anymore."

Sad days.

BETTER DAYS! Maybe Valentines' Day will see me getting some use out of my efforts.
