I have been a horrible blogger of late. Mostly because I don’t have much to blog about, sad as that is. This summer has basically consisted of working, taking care of the dog, laundry, wash, rinse, repeat. Compared to last summer - jetting off to Vegas, getting married, vacationing in St. Lucia - this summer is not even in the same league. No big trips, no life-changing events; just blah.
Which is what this post has become, so I’m going to stop writing. And do something quite unexciting, I’m sure.
Sometimes being a music therapist can be really frustrating. Other times, it is incomprehensible that I get paid to do what I do. Like today, for example. I danced around with scarves to songs from High School Musical 2. I picked out the melody to “The Bare Necessities” on the piano because it is one of my students’ favorite songs. I wrote a song about camping. Yep, I definitely have the best job ever.
I should be scoring songs about counting and telling time right now, but I’m not. Instead, I’m hanging out on the couch with my computer on my lap, watching “Weeds” and relishing the fact that tomorrow is Friday and I don’t have to go to the gym at 5 am. (It’s summer, and I’m allowed to have three days off.)
Maybe tomorrow will be the day that I cross those last four items off my to-do list, the one I’ve been working on since Tuesday. Maybe.
I actually really like them, unlike most people. I feel like I have a fresh slate, that I have a chance to start over and do things better than I did them last week. I had a ridiculously lazy weekend, and as awesome as that was, I am ready to be a productive member of society.
Monday is my busiest day of the week. It’s perfect that way; the rest of the week is cake after today. My goals for July 13, 2009 are to put everything I’ve got into the 9 lessons/music therapy sessions scheduled for the day, take my dog for a walk, empty the dishwasher, do laundry, and record at least one song. If I can do all of that in one day, I can do anything…right?
