Virginia Reel Around the Fountain
On Tuesday, I sat in my office googling misremembered lyric after misremembered lyric. I was sure it was something about a summer state. Was it Death Cab? Built to Spill? ...how can you cure an ear worm when you don't even know the damn song?
On Wednesday, I was overwhelmingly defeated. I got home in just enough time to make dinner, but not to actually eat it before my Zoom class started.
Thursday, I skipped my morning dog walk. And my yoga class.
On Friday, I skipped my whole damn routine.
My Breathe Out for the week was to just chill. In my planner, I wrote LOL next to that goal because I sure as hell didn't this week.
All of the routine skipping (which is the stuff I know is truly good for me) did get me caught up at work. On Friday night, I shut down my computer so I wouldn't be tempted to keep an eye on my email. Then, my body shut down a bit. Just an absolute release of tension and the work whirl that had been in my brain all damn week.
I did find the song I wished for on Tuesday. The lyric was not about summer, but instead "How can that be in your solid state?" I have no idea what the hell this song is truly about, but it's brought me to ask myself where was my solid state this week? ...was I ever present? ...why can't I balance my dance around the fountain? I struggle with the need for work to be done before I feel mentally well enough to play.
At least the weekend was glorious. Try, try again.
