I'm singing "Jesus take the wheel" like an earworm because I put Carrie Underwood singing it on my Facebook story
I'd been trying to get into my "office" to get a photo of what I rescued from a Convent
But I was roundly denied access by a Monstera Deliciouso & a huge guitar 🎸

One was bought for me by a man who heard me singing

I can't wait to see what you create! - he cried optimistically
I called her Jean Harlow because she was blonde
I can't play the guitar
Or lift it
When I hauled it over to my Da's gaff traffic was a hootin & a hollerin
As per😏

When I showed my Da (@Tom9296031114 he's not a Bot he's a very naughty boy) he slid a new amp in a box out from under the table
He bought it in Trax for his fiddle
Did I mention he's deaf?
I'm #AuDHD & I'm already wandering off
The man thought I would play Jean at one of my gigs

God help me I tried
My fingertips are sore from checking fasting bloods so it was hard to hold down strings
I got the Maitre D of a hotel to come & teach me the opening verse & chorus of a Beatles song
Because he's brilliant
Show me like I'm an alien I said
Then filmed him
🎥🙏

Despite the gloriously named De Quervaiz Tenosynovitis I had given myself - lifting a 20kg gravity blanket out of a box from Poland with one hand (filming😏) I learned it enough to get the beautiful slide at the start, the iconic start to my favourite song
& brought it to The Sky

Because it was in the middle of lockdown in December of 2020 only 15 people were allowed in
One of them was the Arts Officer sitting with a woman who drove from Trim
(My Uncle Sean Dooley was a barber in Trim)
There may have been miniature Japanese whiskies at the Mike
& thusly

When the church bells pealed ten pm I was so thrown I forgot to close with the zinger of the guitar behind the curtains
(it was a Sixty Minute Only because Covid)
So despite repeated set ups I never played it
I just mumbled something about always tell the truth & legged it
🙄🙏💚

This whole #Thread started because I wanted people to see a hilarious print of #JesusTakeTheWheel I removed from a Convent before it was sold because I'm #ActuallyAutistic & #ADHD
& attached to everything
An undiagnosed lifetime of high masking means I just live with dogs & STUFF

The Universe in its infinite wisdom is removing me from this cluttered sentinel ergo dismantling over 3 floors and a bulging yarden must commence, immediately if not sooner
To satisfy the 3 people who see this on their TL I got the photo I needed
Feast your eyes on this beauty👀

All your life
You were only waiting
For this moment
To arise
