Hello, loves! I see I'm the caboose of this train again, haha. That's fine with me, it's my spot I guess. I'm not feeling well, so this will probably take me awhile and be rife with mistakes. Bear with me?
If you're joining up with us this weekend, be sure to join up with Crazy Sam and the rest of us here.

Morning Train (1981)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Sheena Easton sings about her lover, who takes a train to and from work each day. When is the last time you took public transportation? Where did you go?
We took a water taxi from one end of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to the fine dining and shopping area of another. It was for a mystery shop, probably circa 2016. We had a good time. The taxi was fun and we did fine-dine!
2) His workday begins at 9 and ends at 5. Do your days stick to a predictable schedule?
As someone who is chronically ill on, as luck would have it, several levels, my day is pretty predictable. And now I have double pneumonia again. It makes me feel even shittier about it when I read someone complain about prioritizing work over sleep and family and instead and work on their next creative project, and they are go, go, go, and oh! How will I survive? And I'm sitting here in boring bed, day after day, thinking, "Dude. I'd give anything to be able to have a job."
3) In the evening she sings that they may go to a movie, a restaurant or slow dancing ... whatever she wants. Which of those would you choose?
I told Hubs that for my birthday (September 8th), I want to see Beetlejuice 2, if it's out yet. Is it out yet? I should check... okay, I'm good, it will have just come out. I haven't been to the movies in some years, and I'm a big Jenna Ortega fan, so I'm excited to see her in it.
4) As a little girl, Sheena Easton performed at family gatherings, not just because she was talented but because she could be a bit of a ham. When you were a kid, were more often shy or outgoing?
I'm this ^^^ person to a "T." Exactly this person. Painfully shy and then, when we're friends, you can't shut me up.
5) In the late 1980s she was the spokeswoman for Bally's health clubs. Do you have a gym membership?
Nyet. I have a hypermobility disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so my joints are constantly dislocating. I'm on the "do what I can do at home" plan.
6) In 1987 she played Sonny Crockett's love interest on Miami Vice. Were you a fan of the show?
Hmm. I remember seeing on TV sometimes, but I wouldn't say I really paid attention to it. I was still in elementary school then. I remember the blazers.
7) This weekend is a good reason to have a picnic or barbecue. The best-selling barbecue sauce flavors are sweet, spicy, and smoky. What's your favorite?
Sorry, none for me. I've liked any barbecue sauce, and I don't eat anything with it on there. I'll take the fruit or potato salad, please!
8) Labor Day weekend may offer a golden opportunity for napping and sleeping in. Do you snore?
Now that I've lost a bunch of weight (again), Hubs reports I rarely do and not loudly. When I've been heavier, then yeah.
9) Labor Day traditionally marks the beginning of the fall. Will you be adding any new fall clothes to your wardrobe?
I think so. I really need to get some new jeans at least; my other two pairs fall down on me now. Will it be one of these styles? I doubt it, but I do rather like that fringe-y Diesel coat on the right!
I have some clothes in an online cart somewhere, but now I can't remember where!

Y'all have a good Labor Day weekend! I hope you get time to rest and relax. Please send me healthy vibes!!
Fin.
