Help, It’s Got Me

Man, what a year thus far, amirite?

I’m actually doing pretty well so far. Hopefully that will last, though I did lose two hours this morning to the soundtrack from Encanto.

Not on purpose.

There’s a song called We Don’t Talk About Bruno in the movie, and it’s been stuck in my head for about a week now. So, yesterday, I tried to knock it out by playing the song over and over and over and over, which is normally how I deal with this sort of problem. And it kind of worked!

But then the small, mobile ones got it stuck in their heads, and they are perfectly happy to sing the same thing over 20 million times, so now it’s back. Yay.

I even found a 1-hour loop of the best part of the song, but I think that might only be aggravating the problem.

Anyway, very distracting. Send help.

Or listen to the song and join the madness with me.

This week has actually been pretty weird. I’m waiting on the results of a COVID test I did Monday morning, which means my whole week is in limbo. I can’t go back to work until I get the results, and I can’t plan anything til I get the results, and I also can’t, you know, hang out at coffee shops or run errands til I get the results.

This is the first test I’ve had to take. I’ve been lucky thus far, so I haven’t had to wait on results before, and it’s excruciating. My boss pointed out this morning that they’re probably taking longer than usual because everyone is getting tested (apparently there’s 15 confirmed cases in my office right now) so it may be til tomorrow before I know.

So it’s been hard to plan out my week because I don’t know what’s going to happen. I honestly don’t know if my result is going to be positive or negative. I do have a close contact who tested positive, but I feel mostly normal beside a bit of congestion and a little bit of chest tightness. Which could be COVID, but could also be any other number of respiratory illnesses.

Anyway, every day I don’t have my results back is a day I can’t go into work, which is a day I could in theory do all sorts of things!

But I run into an issue with unexpected free time where there are so many options that sometimes I get overwhelmed and end up watching the same song over and over and over again on YouTube. So.

Anyway, wish me stability in my life soon. And to get this song out of my head.
