You know, when your life gets turned upside down and you suddenly stop doing all of the things you did because you are busy relearning how to exist in a new way, you miss out on things that used to be a big part of your life.
Driving and Country Music.
Driving is the only time I really listened to the radio. And since I haven’t been driving that much, I’ve found myself not being familiar with current country music. I’d gotten into podcasts before the surgery because I felt like I could get so much more done in the house with a podcast than with music. I was looking forward to listening but the songs I’m hearing aren’t what I used to hear. I don’t know why I expected that Country Music might have frozen in time while I had a ‘time out’. Imagine how bizarre it must be for someone who awakes from a coma. Anyway, for someone who knew most of the words to most of the country music songs on the radio a few years ago – like Good Directions Billy Currington – one of my favorites, I’m disturbingly behind on the current tunes and artists. Last night I drove to the pharmacy after dark. One of the first times I’ve driven in the dark.
Oh, and Kenny Chesney. Anything Kenny Chesney.
So, I kept changing the channel looking for a song I knew then realized I’m just not familiar with the most recent music. So I’m educating myself today while I’m picking up around the house. I’ve had a pretty big headache so I’m tinkering then resting. Tinkering then resting. I’m not sure what category verbal rambling goes into but here it is. If I think of a one word that means verbal rambling, I’ll come back and change it. Anyway…
Oh, there’s Keith Urban – ‘I Wanna Love Somebody Like You. BRB!
