day 59 of #tracywearswool: good day sunshine

#tracywearswool I can’t believe that it is day 59!! And I have that song in my head: good day sunshine…

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head, and it keeps popping up all day? I do, almost every day. It is one of the ways I title my blog posts.

More often than not, someone will say something… these days, I am more likely to hear it on the radio! And it triggers a song… which then plays over and over again. Believe it or not, they have a name for that!

Yep, that's what they call them.

The term “earworm” comes from the German der Ohrwurm, which means musical itch. It all started in 1979 with Cornelius Eckert, who was a psychiatrist.

It is commonly described as a looped segment of music which is usually about 20 seconds long that suddenly plays in our heads without any conscious effort.

And an earworm can last for hours, days, or even, (and I can’t even imagine it) months.

It mostly happens when your mind is wandering or your brain is idle or bored, or simply overloaded. That’s is most likely when they crop up.

Apparently, they are more common with people who have a musical background, are neurotic, tired, or stressed out.

And — get this — some songs have been neuro-engineered to stick in your head!

Just a little educational tidbit I thought I would throw in there!

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Rain and lots of wind her at the beach. Gale warning, in fact. I’ll be spending most of my time inside.

I did wear my new Frye boots and practiced my shuffles and chugs, and all sorts of bits and bobs. I’ll be doing my videos for that on Sunday, so I better get some more practice in! I don’t know what I am going to do when this is over, I have been having so much fun learning!

In addition to the earworm, I seem to be afflicted with the dreaded spring fever.

We had a couple of sunny days, but then..poof… they were gone.

So I wore my sunny island-y sleeveless shirt as a vest!

But it was still freezing out sid…. ok… it was 42, and that is close enough. So, I kept my UGGS and leggings on!

Desert sand-colored long sleeve t-shirt added an additional layer.

This challenge has definitely changed the way I dress. And It has been a lot of fun. It is day 59, and I have still not worn the same outfit twice!

Avocadoes are e feel better about having spring fever. How can you not be happy with a couple of ripe avos sitting in a bowl on your counter??

Be well, and learn something new!
