Every Day Is Like Sunday

1. I sent an email to the husband dripping with irony. This message was interpreted very badly & was replied to with incredible frustration by the Husband. This makes me feel guilty & sad.


2. I have a lump on the back of my left calf the size a thumb. Not only does it hurt to walk, but I am experiencing numbing pain almost constantly. This makes me worry.


3. I can’t get in to see my physician until May 6th. The closest Urgent Care clinics covered by my insurance are in another state or another county, with a deductible of $125, which when you are broke is as big an “ouch” as the leg. This makes me feel helpless.


4. While giving my canine- Larry a massage this morning, I found him to be riddled with lumps & fatty tumors. Like all my dogs, Larry is a rescue animal & we don’t really know his true age; he is very possible 14/15 years old. Under the new austerity program, we can’t really do a lot for him. This makes me impossibly sad.


5. Yesterday was 65 & sunny & full of hope. Today is cold & rainy & I feel like I am holding on by a thread. This makes me feel blue.


6. Sunday is usually a day off for me. I am working 10 hours. This makes me feel grouchy.


7. After 9 years with my company, I had my first disagreement & tough words with my boss on Wednesday. This makes me feel queasy.


8. I have lost my appetite of late. I can only eat the smallest amounts of food before feeling that food is yucky. This makes me happy, but concerned.


9. I feel I will run out of ideas for posts on Post Apocalyptic Bohemian. This freaks me out.


10. My friend & fellow blogger- mrpennee  has received news that his spouse- R Man has a tumor on his lung. This makes me feel helpless to cheer him up, especially when I am being such a downer on this rainy Sunday.


Some standards meant to cheer a guy up, hey… it wasn’t called the great depression for nothin’:
Happy Days Are Here Again

Looking on the Bright Side
Lucky Day
Sunshine
Best Things in Life Are Free
My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now
Spread a Little Happiness
Singin' in the Rain
Painting the Clouds With Sunshine
Keep Your Sunny Side Up
On the Sunny Side of the Street
Happy Feet
Sunny Days
Smile, Darn Ya, Smile
Today I Feel So Happy
Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries
Clouds Will Soon Roll By,
Letting in the Sunshine
There's a New Day Coming
When You've Got a Little Springtime in Your Heart
Pennies from Heaven
Things Are Looking Up
With a Smile and a Song
Look for the Silver Lining

Born On This Day- July 30th... British Songbird Kate Bush

Finally... a Bush that I can love. In 1978, with her debut song- Wuthering Heights, Kate Bush became the first woman to have a self-penned #1 song in the UK. I love & admire her eclectic musical style, profound talent & idiosyncratic lyrics with literary references. Rock, pop, alt., jazz, folk, ska, punk, new wave... her sound skirts by many genres. Hounds Of Love is in my top 25 all time most influential albums. Beautiful & Original.

Music I Am digging... Placebo

Placebo is a tight little Alt. outfit from London that features openly gay members-Stefan Olsdal & Mike Molko. Their music is a little rough & the lyrics are often sexually charged. That great talent- Kate Bush's album Hounds Of Love kept me occupied with repeat listenings in the summer of 1985. I really like Placebo's masculine cover of this memorable single.






"& if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
& get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road, Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could,
With no problem"
