I Want a New Drug
Song by Huey Lewis and the News

I want a new drug, one that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three-feet thick
I want a new drug, one that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that won’t make me nervous
Wonderin’ what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I want a new drug, one that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug, one that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day
One that won’t make me nervous
Wonderin’ what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
I’m alone with you, baby
I’m alone with you, baby
I want a new drug, one that does what it should
One that won’t make me feel too bad
One that won’t make me feel too good
I want a new drug, one with no doubt
One that won’t make me talk to much
Or make my face breakout
One that won’t make me nervous
Wonderin’ what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you, yeah, yeah

The Heart of Rock & Roll
Song by Huey Lewis and the News

New York, New York, is everything they say
And no place that I’d rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to three
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives ’em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really kicks ’em in the
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
Johnny, ow
DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there’s music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But it’s still that some old rock and roll music
That really, really drives ’em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeah
In Cleveland
Detroit
Uh, heart of rock and roll

The Power of Love
Song by Huey Lewis

The power of love is a curious thing
Make one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that’s the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream
Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right
Power of love will keep you home at night
Don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That’s the power of love
That’s the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you’ll be glad baby when you found
That’s the power makes the world go round
Don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair, yeah but you don’t care
But you know what to do when it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You’ll feel the power of love
You’ll feel the power of love
Can you feel it, mmm
Don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won’t feel nothing til you feel
You feel the power, feel the power of love
That’s the power, that’s the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Just had to comment that I love your white on white ensemble. Noticed you did one with the black long coat. Like the white better. You have great taste.

@taci,

Thank you for asking they are all doing fine. My family had some symptoms but all are
back on track. I hope this virus goes away for good and soon. 😘

Taci I walk because I like how I feel after the endorphins kick in. I want new drug. 🎶😎
I walk to my music and the moon sometimes hubby comes along if he is home.

I have a black cat outside that I want to bring in but it is hard to get cats in. I feed him and make
sure he is warm with blankets my husband is a sucker for any animal. 😜

This reminds me of S. California. ✨

Club Sheba

Sheba, glad you Poppy got your walk in today. Yes, I did and am loving our version of a cool down. Did a little cleaning and baked the pre-made cookie dough cookies for hubby and son. The food inflation is just awful. Hubs said an item he has purchased form a local fast food place is up 40%. Yikes. He won’t go back.
How are your family members with Covid doing? Are they feeling better?
Have a good evening all!

@sheba2011

Good Evening. Still doing the hallway closet. As I clean areas I can return the items to that area. I found a plastic container with a lid and using that for all the tools. At least we will have one spot to look and not a million and one areas. Going to try to put paint brushes, and things that one uses for the feet of furniture to keep from scratching the floor. Right now, though, I am in the kitchen which is a complete disaster. Guess I didn’t put things away properly or created more of a mess. So, am going through the cabinets AGAIN for donations.

We are both fine. Hubby has not even attempted to locate his driver’s license or insurance cards. I do not wish to pull apart his closet again to look. He will need these for the hospital as well as for the booster shot. This is really driving me crazy. I do not know if it’s dementia or if the pain in his knee is so bad that being in bed all day helps. I would think that walking and exercising would do that knee good. As far as my back ache goes, I just take a seat until the pain passes and then resume what I was doing. I keep moving. Being a “couch potato” is not the way I do things.

Well, back to the drawing board. I see you are now having a bit of a heat wave. I just put the A/C on to cool the kitchen area. Please try to stay safe and have a great rest of the day.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in Oz. Congrats on the game yesterday, I will be pulling for them all the way. Hockey team doing well, they won ten in a row until yesterday when they lost. Can’t win them all.

A little warmer today so all the snow is melted. It will be an up and down week, only in the 20’s next two days then back up again. Probably just like Oz. I can handle the cold, just don’t want the snow.

Roast and potatoes are cooking, house smells good. Hope your family is recovering and all are “trying” to stay safe. Thanks for my favorite blue cocktail, I will imbibe later this evening. Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗🥰

@Sheba
Good Afternoon Sheba, sending warm wishes your way. I hope you and your husband are doing well. How are your family members doing, I hope they are recuperating well from the virus.
We have cloudy skies today but, I am not complaining because the temperature is 80 degrees.
I received a bunch of groceries, all wiped down and put away. I am starving now, only had a cup of coffee and a muffin today. I want to make me a pot of soup, have the broth and chicken in the freezer, just have to cut the vegetables.
Have a great Sunday Sheba, take care and stay safe.

Waiting for Someday

All the joy and passion you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in a future point in time.

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilize that time is consequently one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow what we are dreaming of today. The hectic pace of modern existence affords us an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to realize our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and now — because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us.

When regarded as a question, “Why not now?” drains us of our power to realize our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, “Why not now, indeed!” we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently.

All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate. AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Thinking of you and your family I do hope this is a better year for you all. ✨
