Good morning, and a happy and prosperous Thursday to you all. Today is the last day of the month, 30 November 2023.
I’ve been pondering my health a little more lately, probably triggered by the traumatic experience of turning 60 this last September. I think about age-related issues, such as cognitive decline, hypertension, that odd occasional tremble in my hand, and just general mental health stuff relating to anxiety, etc.
I had some stuff keep me up last night. As I told my wife, it was like my head was playing a radio and constantly switching channels, going from talk radio to music to white noise and back again. It was complicated by one of those “ear worms” – a song you get in your head and just can’t get escape. I love music. I have a preference for different styles. Before I work, I listen to a lot of smooth rock from the 80s, a lot of Christopher Cross, Bruce Hornsby, James Taylor, and Dire Straits. That said, why did the song stuck in my head have to be “Bad Blood” by Neil Sedaka?
It seemed like that song was stuck on “loop” from 3:00 AM until my normal wake-up at 5:30. Not a pleasant experience. I’ll get through the morning, but when I take my lunch break today, I’ll likely be slapping on some noise-cancelling headphones and listening to my meditation music for an hour before I go back and wrap up my class.
I better make a pot of coffee.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
