Feb 9 Thoughts from the Listening Room

"Hey, Siri. Set sunset." My first words when getting home after dark. I normally say them before I get out of the car, and greet my love. I'm an Apple lover, it's no secret. Smart lighting has changed my listening experience, and I added them throughout our old house. It however is not the topic of this post.

There are some 'choice' characters that I work with, and as much as I try not to bring them home...it happens. I also talk to my mother on my way home and she spoke of wanting a new flat screen, and laptop...Today was one of those days stowaways took root in my thoughts leaving me feeling cross.

After greeting my love, and exchanging a debriefing of our days...I got out of my gym clothes and hung out in the living room, doing a mundane task (checking e-mail). I knew I had a video project from this weekend to finish, so off to the Listening Room. Having already sequenced the video on my phone, so it was just a drag, drop, slice affair.

Corinne was calling. I knew there would be no real listening until we ate dinner, but seeing the album staring at me while I worked on video...was motivating.

With that out of the way...only one barrier between listening and I remained. Don't get me wrong I love eating, but the food wasn't going to rid me of the thoughts stifling my joy.

After inhaling dinner, I retired to the Listening Room. At last. Sweet, sweet music.
