Welcome to the club.....

*Ahem*

Is this thing on? I haven't had my own spot before so this will probably get worse before it gets better. But it will get better. DaRedRoom is a work in progress.

By the way, Welcome to DaRedRoom. I'm your DJ.

RED

What kind of music do I play? Well, that depends on my mood. My life has a soundtrack...everybody's does. Usually my mood sets the tone for what I hear...but sometimes I have a moment where the appropriate song shows up at that moment and you swear someone must be watching your life on a TV screen. Today is not one of those days where it feels like everything is in perfect allignment.

This morning's song: Cajmere feat Dajae - Brighter Days

I started off today in a crappy mood. I have been having headaches off and on for a while now. Usually they are just low-level annoyances. But lately they are accompanied by this feeling. It feels like a weight on my head. I feel heavy and my spirit is pulled low and I have no patience or tolerance for anything or anyone. Attempts to 'cheer me up' do just the opposite. Tylenol and Advil sometimes dull the pain but they do not eliminate the feeling. This morning I had the feeling but no headache yet. I knew it was coming but I didn't want to take another day off work. So I popped some Advil Migraine, put Brighter Days in the CD player and zipped off on my way to work hoping the upbeat music and inspirational chorus would help shift my focus.

No such luck.

I entered the office grumpy with the beginnings of yet another headache. Smiling faces and cutesy jokes from coworkers did nothing but irritate me further. Fortunately I get to see the Dr about this next week. Hopefully that'll get it all resolved. So now grumpy me get's a reminder from my boy Fox. He'll be down this evening. I totally forgot today is Thursday. Now I've gotta hurry home after work and get a quick nap...That's the only way to get rid of this headache and be in a decent mood to entertain. I've gotta pull it together quick...he'll be here in 4 hours.

This afternoon's song: J.Lo - Get right
