Day #10 - Song that makes you sad

Day #10 of the 30 Day Music Meme. . The most frustrating thing about this meme, is I can't think of any songs that fit the meme. I know the perfect song, it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it to save my life. So you basically end up with whatever I decide to settle on in a fit of frustration.

Also, regarding songs that make us sad, and songs that make us cry - there's a world of difference. A song can be uplifting and make me cry - I always cry during a "Bridge Over Troubled Water" but it's not really a sad song.
Nor is "It's a Wonderful World" or Rachel Loy's "Big Sky".

So this is going to require work.

It's also possible for a song to be depressing and not make you cry. In other words a depressing song. Flirting with Paint it Black and Sounds of Silence - but they don't make me sad exactly.

Hmm. I don't want a love song, and about 85% are - I flirted with Sarah McLachlan's Full of Grace and Bonnie Raitt's - I Can't Make You Love Me, If You Don't.

Okay, I found two and I'm splitting the difference between song that makes me cry and a sad song. Because I honestly don't know how to interpret this category.

The first is a song that makes me bawl...because it touches my soul, and I've had a difficult week, and I'm trying really hard to be brave and not scared, and this comforted me.

The other is sad, horrifying and painful blues song via Billie Holiday..

Day 150

Difficult day.





Between my workplace, apartment complex, and COVID-19 - it's a wonder I have not committed Hari Kari by now.

I did however talk to a lot of folks today. Mainly co-workers. And mostly by phone. Although staff meeting was held by teams, so I actually saw people, such as my boss, Lando, Gabe and Chidi. The rest of us couldn't get the video or chose not to.

Crazy Workplace

Apparently Lando's going away celebration was not today, as previously speculated. This was just a trial run of Teams for our staff meeting, because the millenials in the group love teams. I think the rest of us would have been fine with conference calls. My computer does not like Microsoft Teams for some reason.

I realized during the meeting, when boss surreptitiously asked Lando if he'd be available on Monday for a brief chat to wrap things up, that they were shooting for Monday.

Guess which day my apartment complex has chosen to shut off the power in my apartment in order to install a new meter? And to do so for several hours, between 9 - 2pm - Monday. I even took a vacation day, because I can't use my computer on that day - no wifi.

The News and Church Check-in's

I read the news this morning and was foaming at the mouth by the fifth article. I ended up deleting today's NY Times Briefing.

While talking to mother about politics, one of my friend/acquaintances from church called to checkin with me. ( Read more... )

I'm tired. Today was hard. I keep worrying about things. ( Read more... )

After work, I tried to do yoga. Took a CBD happy pill. But everything hurt, and I had a sick tension/sinus headache, which I used to cold pack to alleviate, along with Tynenol Sinus Headache Meds. It worked. The nauseous headache went away.

Then I had two drinks. The Vodka Soda wasn't enough. So after dinner, I had the Tai Kiki Rum Cocktail - which did work. I'm now comfortably numb.
