Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Just Like Me

Soundtrack to My Life - Track fourteen

For the past week I’ve done very very little. I haven’t been moping around necessarily; I just decided I need a break. Everything I do or need to do, at the moment, turns into something huge in my head – even something as simple as popping to the shop or writing a blog post. Ridiculous, huh? Therefore, I needed a break.
I’ve started back on strong painkillers for my foot. Last time I was on them, through autumn, I wrote about 50-60 poems and wrote a novel for NaNo. Unfortunately, the obsessive writing has yet to come. However, I’ve been reading non-stop this week and have ploughed through about six books. I’m not complaining – it’s good to be reading again!

As I said, I’ve not been moping around. But I guess I have been thinking about the situation with my foot and been feeling pissed off by it.
In the old days, if I was angry or upset, I would nearly always seek comfort in the music of Sarah McLachlan. It didn’t necessarily cheer me up, but her music is calming. I don’t really do this anymore. In fact, sadly, I don’t listen to as much music as I used to – I wish I did.

Nonetheless, for track fourteen, I thought I’d share a Sarah song with you. Don’t worry – it isn’t one of her more depressing songs. This one comes from one of her two (?) remix albums.
