This is just total whining. Sorry, but I succumb to it sometimes. I’ve had a depressing couple of days, and I’m trying to rise above it, because it will just kick my bootie if I don’t watch it.
I can’t write. Tom’s working on his new business, and I’m “the administrator” (read: “secretary”). It’s leaving me no time for writing, which makes me sad and grouchy. Don’t worry, I’ll work it out, and it’s not Tom’s fault, it’s just the way things are right now. We sit side-by-side, have major creative and business differences, and any spare time is filled with his music. I do have my little headphones on, and right now I’m pumping in some flamenco music, but I like silencio. There is no silence. I like writing. I can’t write.
I really, really want to help him, but I want a little time for my projects too. It’ll come, it’s just going to take time to adjust.
Maybe this venting will help. I think I’ll go to bed now.

I love silence. Seriously. When I’m home alone I hardly ever have sound going in the house. I probably already told you that, though. Today I was on a call for a job and in the background were three loud Chihuahuas barking. I could tape that for you and you can play that instead. Maybe then Tom will let you have a lap dog. LOL.

I love Little Miss’s comment! Silence truly is golden. We’re at the bottom of this winter’s pit today. Let’s climb the fuck out!
Failing silence, recall the “REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (Part 3)” from way back in ‘79. Lyrics follow …
Ian Dury and the Blockheads
REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (PART 3)
Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed
Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed
Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed
Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed
Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats
Eighteen-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly and porridge oats
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You’re welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on forty, no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of a parrot
A little drop of claret – anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain’t spotty,
Sitting on the potty, curing smallpox
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful – one, two, three
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris, lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motor sickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying ‘okey-dokey’, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane’s soprano, Adi Celantano
Bonar Colleano
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful – one, two, three
Yes, yes, dear, dear, perhaps next year
Or maybe even never
In which case …..
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful – one, two, three
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)
Reasons to be Cheerful – one, two, three

Glad to hear it dude! My memory of this song was better than the actual song. There were other novelty songs of that era that were funnier, but I’m having trouble remembering them.
