“… in a young girl’s heart. How the music can blah blah blah…”

This song has been cartwheeling around in my head all morning. In an annoying, persistent loop. I’ve tried answering the question out loud to make it stop. “Yes! I do! I believe!” Believing, apparently, is not enough. This is not the most annoying ear worm of all time. It’s not great though. I’m just not a big Loving Spoonful fan. No one needs to make a case for them. I don’t hate them. I just prefer The Troggs or The Association more. An ear worm is like the hiccups. The cures are odd and endless. I’ve heard that chewing gum can help. Doing a puzzle is another idea. Some say you should listen to the song in it’s entirety “to bring closure”. I think I’m going to combine my knowledge of hiccup cures with a few of these suggestions by throwing a head stand into the mix. Maybe this giddy tune will fall out of my mind while I’m upside down. How do you get an unwanted song out of your head? What’s the worst ear worm you’ve ever had? Truth, I had Tom’s Diner stuck in my head for so much of the 90’s that it became my brain’s “on hold” music. Da da da duh, da da da duh…

Day 8: Rice cakes w/ Avocado salad. Berries for back up. Coffee AND Magic Mix (because I really do believe)! Avo includes lemon, cilantro & a splash of brags amino acids. Garnished with toasted nori, seeds and snap peas. Now, Magic Mix! I juiced some oranges, carrots, tumeric and ginger then topped it off with some KT Tonic’s Golden Flower kombucha. Then a little juice from the old kimchi jar and ABRACADABRA! I have found my michelada replacement! That is magic in a cup. Maybe it will banish this song from my mind!
