Friday's back, back again.
This has been a productive week. I have felt good all week, minus the lovely cold virus clogging up my sinuses.
Maybe it's because the weather's changing. Or because I had an epiphany last week. Or because I am more committed to the gym than ever. (Yes, I did go to the gym with a cold. I washed my hands prior to working out and used alcogel. Also, I wipe down the machines I've used, unlike all my gym comrades.)
Whatever the reason that this week was good, I hope it continues. I will keep on with the gym and trying to stay organised in the hope that it will keep me from feeling like the week has passed without accomplishment.
This week's five:
1. New music coming to me. (What Amazon addiction?! Who? Me?) Any other suggestions?
2. Hannah's pancakes. Om nom nom.
3. Tidy flat. Mostly. (If only the piles of clean laundry would sort, fold and hang themselves.)
4. Flexible-ish work schedule.
5. Thank you cards/notes for the little things. So nice.
Listening to: Avett Brothers, Be Good Tanyas, The Middle East, The Everybodyfields, Jack Savoretti and Xavier Rudd

It's true, I like depressing music.
I play music almost constantly. You can tell when I am not happy, do not have myself together or if I am depressed because music will not be playing, and I do not want to hear anyone else's music either.
I have been told several times over my life that I listen to depressing music. And I'm finally admitting that it's true. I do listen to depressing music. It reminds me how far I have come and how far I have to go. It makes me think that the things I have experienced have a voice. That those experiences may have been bad or unpleasant or just sad but I have survived. Just as others have. I do not feel so alone when I have my music.
This is currently one of the songs in my rotation of music.(I wanted to embed the song in the post, but it was not working! If anyone has any insight, I would love it.)
Who are your favourite bands or artists? What draws you to a particular song or style of music?

Friday Five & Music
1. Three day weekend with grand plans for relaxing, visiting and home improvement.
2. Wedding dress has been purchased. At the 2009 price. Go me for haggling that one!
3. Insomnia causes me to have all sorts of cool ideas. And I wrote some of them down this time!
4. A really lovely stranger paid my taxi fare this morning. I was so grateful for that little reprieve.
5. Free cinema trip on Wednesday with work, to see Amelia. It was much better than I expected, but oh-so-sad. Even though I already knew the ending.
Music of the week: The Middle East, Xavier Rudd, Newton Faulkner, Indigo Girls, They Might Be Giants
