Hold Your Nerve – 24th June 2024

Said with a smile, hand over fist
The beating you deserve said with a kiss
Hormones kicking in, take a licking
The beating you deserve, hand over fist

Given an inch, you’ll take a mile
Can you hold your nerve and smile?

Medication kicking in, it’s a kiss in
Given an inch, you’ll see what’s missing
The beating you deserve, hand over fist
Say it with a smile, said with a fist

Submitted to Three Things Challenge #M734 and a reworking of Drive Like Jehu’s Hand Over Fist and somewhat a part two to Get It Together

Today I’m feeling:

Like time is running away.  I got up and exercised as normal, sat down to eat breakfast and already could see that it was a few minutes later than I thought.

On the roads, it was already busy and took me longer than usual to get to school.  I tried my best to be patient in the traffic!

So now I’m sitting with my first coffee, aware that I don’t have too long until my first class, only a short break until my second and then I’ll be dashing off home again.  I could do with another day of just sitting around watching videos at home.

Today I’m grateful for:

The old ice cream in the freezer that I finished off.  I’d forgotten we had any left and I fancied something sweet after Amy’s amazing dinner, a delicious fake meat crispy pork.

The best thing about today was:

My grade 12 class telling me that they had to go off and do something for the last hour of my class with them, meaning that I could get an extra hour at House with another cup of unrushed coffee.

It was also convenient as the lesson I had for the class was a little too short.

Something I learned today?

I heard Fiery Furnaces and Between The Buried and Me for the first time today.  Pretty interesting, the two tracks that I heard though, I’m starting to think about how much time I take to listen to music and how much I already love and how much more I want to try and discover.

I can’t help myself searching for new music but I already have a stack of stuff available that I don’t spend time trying to enjoy.
