Once again, my writing time is fragmented by all the writing I'm hoping to get done this week-end: tomorrow's sermon and a meditation for Wednesday night, next week's sermon and a meditation for the last Wednesday in March, and my short paper for Lutheran Confessions class which is due on Thursday. I can get it all done, but it doesn't leave much time for other writing, like poetry writing or blogging in depth.
Yesterday I also worked some doctor's appointments into my schedule: our annual eye exams and my 3 month dermatologist exam. After my melanoma, I'll be going to the dermatologist every three months for the next few years. Yesterday I had some spots zapped, along with three spots sent in for a biopsy. Now that I've had the weird melanoma that didn't look like a melanoma, we're both a bit spooked and erring on the side of more information.
By the end of yesterday, I was a bit overwhelmed, so I unplugged for a bit. This morning I woke up with "Ophelia" by The Band in my head. I heard it while I was waiting for my skin exam. My dermatologist has a great playlist, and she told me that she had it done for her exclusively. There aren't ads, and it's a great mix of music across all genres.
This morning I did a bit of a deep dive into some music by way of YouTube, which has an algorithm for me that I don't resent. I wanted to see if I was remembering correctly that it was The Band that did "Ophelia," and then I wanted to hear a few more songs that I remember from that Greatest Hits album. And then there were others, including a dance-in-my-seat session to "Hold On! I'm Coming."
It was a great way to start the day. I should probably do it more often.
