(This fall is the 20th anniversary of the release of Nevermind, but that\u2019s a post for another day). It\u2019s a mashup that\u2019s a common earworm for me, but this morning it just felt too gritty and mean to start my tired day like that.<\/p>\n<p>So I spent the walk to work trying to dislodge that and cram another earworm into my brain. All of my c\u2019mon-get-happy usuals weren\u2019t working, not Spice Girls nor Gaga. After cycling through Public Enemy and Joy Division (for real, brain?), I finally got to Janelle Monae: \u201cSincerely, Jane\u201d from the Metropolis EP. Phew.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t been walking to work much recently. It\u2019s been hot and rainy and I\u2019ve been tired and tired. But this morning\u2019s walk reminded me why I should push past the whinybrain and get moving. Because I may be too tired to ride my bike or scooter, but once you start walking it just gets easier, and by the time I get to work my head is clearer even if I am still tired. And it\u2019s downhill all the way, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I woke up feeling crabby and crappy thanks to various small entities interrupting my sleep last night: a child, cats, unsettling dreams.
