The Best Laid Plans…
Sunday, June 23rd, 2019

June’s calendar, when I first laid it out, was a work of art. All my big goals had been chopped up into bite-sized pieces. I was determined that, this month, I’d have some “me” time to float in the pool or play with beads.

Ha! Can I say that again? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Okay, so it’s nearly ten at night and my ass is sore from sitting so long today. I’m trying to catch up on my goals that floated down the toilet from nearly Day One. The issues?

  1. A terrible case of Don’t-Wanna-Do-it. Can you blame me? The sun’s out. The pool’s finally lost it’s green tinge. All I wanna do is have some fun (I’m channeling Sheryl Crow now).
  2. My body’s rhythm feels off. Okay, I know that sounds like woo-woo horse shit. And it is. If I don’t get it done in the morning, or at least started in the morning, I give up for the rest of the day because I’m ready for a nap by two. I think it’s because school is out, and I’m not up with the kids at O-dark-thirty anymore.
  3. My dd suddenly had to leave town this week to go help a relative who needs some help, which leaves Guess Who in charge of the lovely little ones (who really are little demons with angels’ faces!)? Yup, me. The one with sucker written all over her face.

It’s my own damn fault. I let things slide, and now I have to power down to get my highest priority things out the door. Don’t cry for me… (And now I have Evita on the brain…)

That’s what I need—a soundtrack that kicks ass. Any suggestions for what tunes should be on it?

    My favorite motivational (to me, at least) song is Take Over the World by the Courteeners (it was my theme song the year I got my agent, so…)

    Then I think I would add…

    2. Jump by the Pointer Sisters
    3. Love Will Live by Melissa Etheridge
    4. Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey (original Journey with Steve Perry, not nuJourney)
    5. All Fired Up by Pat Benatar
    6. It Gets Better by Fun.
    7. Hyperactive by Robert Palmer
    8. Turn Up the Radio by Autograph
    9. How Bad Do You Want It by Don Henley
    10. Gluttony by Buckcherry

    I could go on, but I’ll stop. lol I have music playing through a big chunk of my day, even at the day-job, and I need the right music when I’m writing. 🙂

    I am loving the new album by Bring Me The Horizon “Amo”. In particular the songs Mantra and Why You Gotta Kick Me When I’m Down. I also love Linkin Park to make me get up and go.
