Last night was rough. Illness is a regular vibe nowadays. I blame the post-Covid virus experienced a few years ago. As a retired nurse, it was always an awareness nature that builds enquiry and understanding. Viruses are little horrible tricksters with lots of patience. Chronic (long term) inflammation or trigger wake-up activity to other viruses can be a concern.
In general? Tiredness and extreme fatigue, brain fog, nerve jumps and aching joints are pretty much unwanted visitors at times. Very weird after decades of feeling very chipper. Hardly any days off from work. Or life.
Today? After last night’s rough experience, I thought I’d grab some music therapy. Just sit, play guitar and plinkety-plonk keyboard naivety and sing and record a few trial introductions to songs that are currently in the making. I chose a few tunes from a list. Ones with slow and gentle vibes. Alongside? Drank chamomile tea, ate rolled porridge oats with oat milk and homemade leek and potato soup. Didn’t want to challenge the body system too much!
It’s not great getting old. And, as a nurse, my immune system was always on high alert due to the daily contact with patients’ illnesses. Since retiring 5 and a half years ago? It’s gone to sleep for a well earned rest I reckon.
But hey! It’s soon to be the most wonderful time of the year. So everything is worth looking forward to.
After sending the four little trial songs to my email. I thought it may be nice visualising them. So. Spent a few hours dipping in and out of little video making tonight. Fun times. Not on YouTube, so uploaded here to WordPress directly.
Hey Gray. I’m glad you’re feeling well enough to play today and share. I enjoyed the songs. I hope you continue to feel better buddy 🙏😎🙏

Cheers Bryan. It’s a pain really with feeling like this at times. Last night was general deep aching and a few doses of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol put symptoms out of their misery. Covid? Didn’t catch it when I was a nurse. Even though I was really up close working with patients with it at that initial 2019 time. Then, well into retirement, we went to a wedding and both my wife and myself caught it. Luckily a different and less aggressive mutation of the 19 virus. It still absolutely floored both of us for about a week though.
Since then, we both haven’t truly felt 100% at times. Recurring symptoms. We just keep getting on with life whatever. Be nice to return to normal. I know these little bug invasions can be transient. Even if they can kick around for a few years and come out to play every so often. So I hope that they eventually go on holiday and don’t come back!
As you have shown on your blogs, it’s good to eat healthy food choices. That is great advice.
All the best Bryan. 🙏🏽🍁🍂
