Song of the Day: Saturday

Today was another one of those days where lazed around bed reading. And eating as necessary. And making arrangements to borrow a bicycle until I get my stuff. And reading. I read so much that my vision got blurry. And then I made a trek to WalMart--again. If Walmart were a man, we'd be dating as often as I have been to visit (once or twice daily)!

Anyway, as I was driving this song came on and really struck me. What a wonderful song. And wonderfully sad.

Song of the Day: Friday

Friday was a lazy day for me. I am technically unemployed. I left my old job. I start my new job next week. I stayed in bed reading and eating when hunger struck me. I then went out to shop for essentials at BBandB and WalMart--again. I can't remember when I have been so relaxed. Being jobless helps. As does driving.


This song reminds me of my Friday.

Song of the Day: Thursday

I am home now. I have the keys and am in my new apartment. I was a little disappointed. There was dirt and cobwebs that the cleaners missed. One of my toilets didn't work at all. I have a window that won't open. So, I had to make a trip back to the leasing office to inform them of the problem. It has been rectified. Except for a window that won't open. Still. And there is this random smoke smell.

Because the movers have not come yet, I have singlehandedly driven up Walmart sales in one day. Three separate purchases, including an air mattress. I had to go back to WallyWorld to get something that I left on the cart from my first purchase. (Yeah, that kind of day.) I now have cable (I got a cheapo tv at Goodwill today until my real tv arrives), Internet (I always travel with my laptop) and phone (that's still on the truck!) But I am home!

I have discovered that I really miss driving. I got a rental when I arrived yesterday. It's been so nice to drive here and there whenever I want. I miss that freedom. What I really miss is listening to random radio. It's been forever since I've heard this song. Reminds me so much of this song, that I get queavish.  I think it's just JT that grosses me out, though. But the song is great for driving.

Song of the Day: Wednesday

I am exhausted. Bone. Weary. Tired. And sick. Not in the way of the cold. More in the way of not wanting to put another bite in my mouth that isn't homemade. Or a salad. Or Fresh Fruit. Ugh! But, I am in South Bend spending the night at my friend Sulli's house. Tomorrow I move into my apartment. I cannot wait to close the door on the outside world and be home. I won't have my stuff until August, except for what I already brought or sent ahead. But, the place will be mine. The cable guy will arrive at 1. I'll make random runs to Walmart and the grocery store and the farmer's market to stock up. And then I will shut the door on the world and snuggle down for an eternity. In my new home. My new future. My destiny.

This song comes to mind when I think of home. It's been a while since this song has been in my head. I remember watching The Wiz when I was a kid. We were so fascinated with people singing and dancing on network tv who looked just like us. It didn't hurt that it had Diana Ross and MJ.

Song of the Day: Tuesday

I am back in New York. It's a madhouse here! There are people pushing and shoving and wandering aimlessly. I had a few errands to run and kept running into people who walked like molasses or who just stopped in the street. I felt the rage boiling up in me. Get out of my way!!! Now I remember why I don't hit the tourist attractions.

Anyway, this song seems appropriate. "We're just ordinary people/We don't know which way to go". Definitely reminds me of tourist, in a romantic sort of way.

Song of the Day: Monday

It's the last night of the conference. I am tired. I feel a bit beat up, like I have had too much to drink and eat and haven't slept nearly enough. I now regret scheduling my bus for 6:30pm. I want to go to NYC as soon as possible so I can get some sleep. And repack to go to SB. Luckily I only have one session to attend and maybe a lunch date. I hope to go to the bus station and hop on an earlier bus tomorrow. We'll see.

Anyway, this song has been in my head. Not sure why except that it's quite mellow. Nice.

Song of the Day: Sunday

Today was a busy day! In addition to sessions I was scheduled to attend, I was social chair for a caucus and nominated to be its vice-chair.  A lot to be responsible for. The social went great. I ordered too much food, but everyone was happy. We gave away 100 drink tickets. I saw one laying on a table when I left.  I also had one person come to me and ask how she could be social chair next year. I invited her to be on my committee so that there were people ready to do the work when I left the position. I have the business cards of 4 people who will be on my committee for Seattle.

Fastcase was really happy as well. Our main contact hugged me twice or thrice for doing such a good job with the social! They all were happy, but free booze doesn't hurt. And, I don't know about the elections yet. Taryn and I are the ones who showed up. We'll see what happens.

Anyway, this is the song that comes to mind after tonight.
