It took a surprisingly short amount of time for me to tire of the film scores radio on Pandora. So after plugging in some rockish fiddle music, I moved onto Yo-Yo Ma’s inspiring work on Pandora. The wordless music is a nice break from my own over-played supply of music and it keeps me in a creative frame of mind all day long.
And that’s good for every part of my body save my wrists. They, like so many other people’s, reject the notion of spending all day and all night typing away at novels and school reports. (What’s their problem, right?) Finally caving, I have accepted a wrist brace, which makes me feel a lot better but type much poorer. Funny how changing a small part of the way my body moves can affect how my fingers do their jobs…
I made myself a wonderful salad for lunch, topping it with left-over steak. And just as I finished it and thought, “Wow, what a great meal!” I got a call from my dad. He asked if I would join him and my mother for lunch to celebrate his settling one of his cases. That’s an offer I just couldn’t refuse, so I got desert instead. After my giant smoothie and my salad, the cake was too rich and chocolately (who would have thought I would ever say that?), but it was AMAZING! And the greatest part was taking a breath from my evil accounting project and connecting with my parents in the middle of the day. That’s privilege I don’t often get and I was grateful for it today.
