Allergy Medications and a Lap Full O'Cat!
My February ick is in full-force today. I don't know why I get sick every February, but I do. Like clockwork. It doesn't matter what the weather is like - I am sick during blizzards or during mild winters like this one. I can, however, count on getting sick during this month.
My "On This Day" Facebook feed demonstrates that I am not exaggerating this trend. Almost all of my February posts have to do with snow and being sick. This year, however, I am trying to buck the trend of posting that I'm not feeling well, so it is coming out on this blog.
I'm not quite sick enough to warrant a doctor's visit. All he'll do at this point is to tell me to keep taking the medications that I am already taking. He'll only be able to do something once this allergy attack turns into bronchitis (the other thing that typically happens in February). So, here I sit, runny nose and congestion, trying to figure out what I will do with this wonderful day.
As I sit here, contemplating my plans for this Saturday, I am helped (hindered) by my lap full of cat! I would rather have her on my lap than the place she prefers - the computer keyboard (she likes to type for me - lots of numbers, usually. I am sure there is a code involved in her communications...). She will "help" me figure out what needs to be done on this glorious Saturday!
My list of things I "need" to do is as long as it always is. There are music therapy tasks to complete, chores to do around here, self-care rituals to complete, physical therapy exercises, and family members to talk to during the day. There are the never-ending chores of dishes, laundry, and cleaning that need to be addressed, and I really want some time to watch movies and simply relax a bit. We will see what will happen. Right now, the cat is holding me hostage to sitting and being in the moment. I don't want to move and interrupt this time of peace and kitty cuddles.
It's time to move into the brainstorming process of therapeutic music experiences (TMEs) for several projects that I am working on right now. That is something I can do while sitting with the cat and fogged under with allergy medications, so I will. I will spend some time being here, thinking and creating in this early morning hour.
I hope you have the ability and opportunity to spend some quiet time (cat optional, but HIGHLY recommended) during this upcoming week. Enjoy the quiet moments.
