Music Mondays

It's nearly 11:00 on what looks to be a really beautiful day. The sun is shining, reflecting brightly off the cement of the balcony and nearly blinding me through the glass of the French doors. The temperature is sitting primly at freezing.

There's coffee in my cup (complete with chocolate creamer). My chin/neck finally seems to be recovering from whatever strain I put it under that resulted in the asleep-limb sensation I've had for the last few days. (This is the second time in a handful of years that I've done that. I should know by now, that falling asleep while using the husband's arm as a pillow is not good for my musculature. Maybe 10 years ago it would have been fine.)

And, I guess, the recurring realization (because it's happening more and more lately) that I can't do some of the things I used to do—whether it's sleep until noon without feeling like shit, or eat my weight in pizza and chocolate without getting heartburn, or take a nap on the floor and actually be able to stand up afterward (which my grandmother can still do, at 73, so riddle me that one)—that's made me crave, even more, the music that surrounded me as a teenager.

So, here are the top five songs gracing my playlist today.

1. Bif Naked - Lucky
2. Epperly - Shy
3. Job's Eyes - Far
4. Toad the Wet Sprocket - Little Heaven
5. The Sundays - Wild Horses
