My brain is running its soundtrack on shuffle.

I slept in a real bed last night. It was great.

Today I seem to be taking some time off. I grabbed some leftovers and had second breakfast so I could nap through lunch. Plus eating makes me feel better and increases my energy levels. Food is good for a body--- something all the diet advisors continually forget. I will make up for it some other time.

I should be doing laundry or sorting through things, but I might have reached my limit and need to decompress while there's still time before the next crisis.

Or maybe I'll do something easy but time consuming like sorting through the morass of papers I just crammed in a box when I needed the space urgently. I've moved enough stuff that I can get to the filing cabinet now, so it doesn't seem ridiculous to bother. And that would be extremely useful to have done if there actually is another crisis waiting in the wings.

It's not an earworm. It's like an ear bait shop.

I'm getting seriously annoyed that my brain keeps playing music like my life needs a soundtrack.

It's different than an earworm where one song repeats until you're ready to kill anyone who hums along with what only you can hear.

I've heard, and noticed, at least a dozen songs today.

Currently I'm hearing the cello intro to "I Don't Care" by Apocalyptica featuring some heavily made-up dude actually singing--- the only instance of non-black musicians ever using "featuring" that I've ever seen-- which at least is kind of apt and totally doesn't suck since it's one of my top 100 favorite songs and my #2 favorite by Apocalyptica.

Earlier I was hearing "Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks.

There was some song by Phil Collins or Genesis too, but I don't remember which one (I don't own it and can't find out what it was because I didn't like it enough to bother paying attention.)

I'm getting a little tired of there being voices only I can hear. I found that it was very difficult to carry on a conversation with anyone at the gym today because the "background" music was so loud that I couldn't really hear them and was resorting to lip reading and wishing for subtitles. It makes me feel like a crazy person.

Earworms are annoying, but this feels like insanity.
