Music as Stress Relief


This is one of those days where everyone has bad news to share. It's every angle from my brother having Covid-19, my dog having an infection and dental surgery, and everything in between. My back hurts, that's where I carry stress. On the plus side, it's been less hot, so my vision is less blurry; I got to read like 3 or 4 pages in a book last night! 

Today is just rough. 

I was scrolling through Facebook, and amid the further stress-inducing posts, there was this: 


It's one of those "AHA!" moments like "AHA! Dumbass, why aren't you listening to music?????"
It's certainly better than the inane ramblings of the gamer YouTubers my kids leave playing on the television. I went straight to Amazon Music in search of one of my playlists, Mind Travels the Amazon Version (because my computer hates Pandora), and went straight to shuffle. It was either that or my Apocalypse Playlist for this Isolation Period on YouTube. God Bless the healing powers of R.E.M.'s "It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)". That's it's followed up by Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" is just icing on the cake. 

So for the rest of the night, until I opt to wander to my bed and my "please let me sleep" meds, it's music time.
