51/96: Mood
Tuesday night I'm pretty sure I overate, and I'm still feeling queasy. I want to go be unconscious as soon as possible. As I'd feared, the Safeway ad for this week is disappointing, and now I'm really wishing I'd bought stuff last Friday. The stores used to have pretty good sales for Christmas, but for the last couple of years they've been mostly crappy. Had I gotten stuff last Friday not only would I have had better stuff than I'll get this week, but I'd have had donuts all week, and then could have done another shopping trip on the 27th. I don't know if they'll have any really good stuff for that week's sale or not, but it could hardly be worse than this week's offerings. But too late now. Too bad I don't think clearly quickly anymore. Not that I was ever all that clear or quick, but I was definitely clearer and quicker than I am now.
The rain being over, the nights are now colder than they were when it was cloudy, so the furnace is running more, and that makes the air drier, and that makes me thirstier, so I've been drinking loads of water. I'll probably be waking up to pee (and get another drink) every hour all day, which will be terribly unrestful. However, I'm so tired this morning (again!) that I'm sure I'll have no trouble drifting off.
But here is some music I've been listening to that I think will evoke Morpheus even more strongly. It's from the second album collaboration of Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and bluegrass singer Allison Krauss, "Raise the Roof," released in 2021. If that combination doesn't seem unlikely enough, this song is "The Price of Love," a tune by the Everly Brothers from 1965. It wasn't a big hit for them in the U.S., though it did chart in the U.K. and Ireland. They did it as a rocker, while Krauss and Plant make it a very dark and moody ballad. I only discovered it recently, but I've listened to it a lot since. It suits my frequent Big Moods.
