Re: 11/10 Lucian AMPS 506,+7/118
Well, surprisingly enough, he's right back down where he needs to be. I gave his shot at his normal time this morning, didn't think that would hurt any, since I missed it entirely last night. Of course, I had planned to work him back to his normal time over the next few days. As I understand it, if you miss a shot like that, it's ok to take him to his normal shot time right?
I know what happened, it was the xanax I took for the nausea, since I'm out of my anti-nausea meds. After the show, we went for Chinese take out, since everything else was closed or would be before we could get there. If I had stuck with the steamed dumplings I'd have been fine, but NO, I had to have fried scallops too. Not 30 mins after eating, the nausea kicked in and I had nothing else to calm it. I just can't eat any kind of fried food without my meds, I know better, but knew the xanax would work until I could get my meds and I REALLY wanted scallops. :lol: Even with my anti-nausea meds, I have to keep high fat/fried foods to a minimum.
His PMPS was 79 last night at about 11:30 pm, I was waiting to give his shot at midnight. I completely forgot about it, the syringe was laying right on the nightstand at 4AM when he woke me to eat. Being 4 hrs late and his normal shot time coming up in another 4 hrs, I said to hell with it, and gave his shot at his normal time. A fresh one, I threw out the one that had been sitting there for 8 hrs.
Gotta go to WM and get my meds this afternoon, xanax works in a pinch, but I get CRS. I'm just glad it didn't cause Lucian any more problem than the 1 high AMPS. :thumbup Actually was shocked at his +7.
NOW! about the show..........BJ Thomas, at 73 I believe, put on a fantastic show! I had watched several videos on Utube of some of his shows this year, which is why I wanted to go. A lot of older performers may still be touring, but they sound awful compared to what they were 30-40 yrs ago, which is to be expected, we all get old. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being at his best, he is still performing at a '9" level, which amazed me! After the show, while talking with a bunch of ladies in the ladiesroom, we all agreed that he has lost next to nothing in his vocal ability. Plus, he was very personable, joked a round a bit with the audience, etc. Was a great show! He would give a little history on certain songs, funny things that happened at the time, etc. My son said he really enjoyed it, recognized most of the songs and thought the guy had a great personality by the way he interacted with the crowd and couldn't believe his age. Said he'd go to some others like it, if I wanted to and that he was glad we could have some time together, which almost made me cry, since I so rarely get to see him. He is so busy, works 60 hrs a week, college 3 nights a week, gym 5 nights a week, plus a fiance'.. He hadn't even seen his fiance' yesterday. But said, if I wanted to do this sort of thing once a month or every couple months, he'd be happy to come with me. Nice to have a little bonding time that we haven't had in many. many years. Oh! and when BJ started to sing my song, I reached over and put my hand on his arm and he pulled it over and held my hand, while I snuffled of course. Gave me a hug and kiss on my cheek when it was over. He hadn't heard the song in many years, but understands why it is so important to me now, after really hearing the words. (I'm crying while trying to type this, it's so emotional for me.) If there is nothing else I have done right in my life, I raised a wonderful son to be a wonderful man. There were some songs I didn't recognize because he changed his style over the years, starting with POP, which I knew, but then sang country for a few years, a couple of which I recognized and has done quite a bit of gospel, which although very good, I'd never heard. Also, the gospel was done acupella (sp), without any music, just him singing and I was amazed that he could pull that off at his age and really sounded good. :thumbup
If anyone is interested in hearing him or any other artist, there's a website called
http://www.last.fm.com. Yes, there is 2 'dots' in there: last dot fm dot com. Put in any artist in the 'search music' box and it'll pull up everything recorded by what ever artist you're interested in. I listened to Rock and Roll Lullaby at least 20 times trying to desensitize myself to it so I wouldn't cry at the concert. :lol: It helped a little. Managed to keep it to just a few quiet tears instead of full blown blubbering. :lol: Didn't want to be an embarrassment to myself or my son. But, tell ya what, he got the biggest applause for that song than any he did last night and I am sure there were many ladies there, that Rock and Roll Lullaby, has a special meaning for. It was THAT time in history, sex, love and rock and roll and I'm sure, more than a few, ended up preggers as a teenager. I was terribly disappointed that there was no 'meet and greet' or chance of an autograph session. :sad: Plus my camera didn't zoom well enough to get any good pics. I need a better camera!! Will tell son that's what I want for Christmas. ;-)
Son said, that had to be the CALMEST concert he has ever been to. :lol: Considering he was the youngest person there at 38. :lol: Everyone was my age or older, mostly 50's and 60's, but some older than that. Yeah, I had a great time and knowing he enjoyed it too, makes me even happier.
On the way home, the classic rock station I listen to, was doing 'hair bands' of the 80's and 90's and of course, that's Jared's oldies music and was lovin' it! Singing to everything. I think I'll check and see when any of those bands will be in the area and take him. Of course I loved them too.
Motley Crue, Def Leopard, White Snake, Poison, etc. Just found out the Eagles are coming, but the $500 price leaves us out!
Sorry, unless I have access to the afterparty, unlimited food and drink and partying with the band, I ain't spending that kind of money for anybody, even if I could afford it.
My BFF is coming in April for a week. It just so happens that David Cassidy will be here in NC at that time. For those who don't remember, he was Keith Partridge in the Partridge Family TV show. Anyway, BFF had a grand crush on him as a teen and wanted to see him while she's here. I did some research and watched some of his videos from his performances earlier this year. They sucked. Not worth the money or distance to go see. She saw them too and said not to bother. So instead, we're going to the long running, midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, in costume of course! Will have to take pics of that. :thumbup
:lol:
Gotta get to WM before the pharmacy closes.........
