Friday Review on a Sleepy Saturday

I am proud of how I spent my Friday.

Now, I initially did not want to do anything but stay in my bed and wallow in my down feelings, but I forced myself to leave my home. Leaving my house means putting on clothing other than pajamas, making sure that I have my phone and cash, and then heading out into the world beyond my home. Leaving my house means having to be in the heat and humidity. I did just that yesterday.

I have been trying to use my unlimited movie pass often this summer. Since I do not work on Fridays, I try to go see something on Friday afternoons and again on Sundays. I decided to go see Fly Me to the Moon yesterday, and once I had decided to do that, I got going... more than an hour before the movie start time. So, I was in my car and very early, so it was time to do something else.

In June, I went downtown (not my favorite area of my town because it attracts all sorts of tourists) to the library to pick up my library card. At the time, I had three other errands to run, so I did not engage in browsing. I have since finished the summer reading challenge, so I had to go to the library to pick up my prizes! I actually went all the way in and checked out some books. I also found free parking and was able to find a good route to the library. Downtown is a maze of one-way streets, so the route is essential to my return. After randomly pulling some books off the shelves, I went back to the car just in time to get to the theater only 25 minutes early!

The movie was good. I am someone who was born after man first walked on the moon, and the history of the space program is one of my interests, so the movie  really resonated with me. I enjoyed it.

After my movie, I came back home, made some lazy chicken alfredo, and then worked in my journal a bit. It was a good day. I talked to my Mom and my Sis, and then I went to bed early. I woke up to cloudy skies and the possibility of rain all morning. I hope it arrives. Rain would be a great change from the heat and sun that has been overwhelming lately.

So, my Fun Friday turns into a Sleepy Saturday. I am feeling happy about that. So far, I have not done much, but I am planning on finishing chapter two of my internship handbook today, and I might get started on chapter three. I have been working on this project for better than a decade now, so it is exciting to get bits of it published, even if no one knows about it all yet...

So, the rest of today will be spent in rest and work. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday, to be honest. I also have to write a letter about my church job and contact a person about doing an ethics course for the Online Conference for Music Therapy. I would also like to do something creative - either painting or making a book or trying my best to just create.

I always miss these three day weekends when the regular school year starts back again. It would be nice to have three day weekends for the entire year, but that is not going to happen for at least two more years... probably. We will see how the letter about my church job goes. It is now time to get to work. See you tomorrow for some songwriting!

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea...

Songwriting Sunday: Repetition

Image
One of the things that I find to be helpful with my client population (children, adolescents, and young adults with dual diagnoses) is repetition of phrases, lyrics, and music. As a result of 30+ years of working with this population in various iterations, I have found that my clients respond the most to songs with three repeated phrases to prime their responses with a different phrase to communicate the important part of the experience. DISCLAIMER: This is not a definite way to write music for clinical interactions. This is what seems to work well with my particular group of human beings. Don't go to your supervisors and tell them that I told you that this is the ONLY way to write music - It is NOT! You have to find what works for your clients and for their clinical goals. Since my clients respond well to this type of song, I tend to write songs in this format more than any other. What I have found is that my clients remember these songs more than the ones that I do in different f...

Being An Internship Director: On Hiatus

Image
It has been long enough since I have had an intern that I am seriously feeling like I have little to say on the subject. At the same time, I am currently writing Chapter 5 of my general internship handbook, so I am able to write about being an intern and what types of things to think about during this important time in our professional development. It is a strange place to be in, and it is one that is a bit challenging for me. Right now, I have had three vacant internship positions since the beginning of the calendar year. I will have a vacant position next month and that will be an entire year of rejected offers. In the past nine months, I have offered positions to three applicants who have declined. It is interesting how people complain that there aren't enough internship programs, but programs like mine are empty. I guess there aren't enough internship programs that pay large stipends (which mine cannot) out there. I get it. It is interesting to me how we have moved from an ...
