It’s been a solitary six weeks of painting. I am almost finished, so there is hope for posts about something else. To break up the monotony of the work, I listen to music of all kinds. It’s funny how I can look at a room and remember what I listened to when I painted it, even if it was five years ago. It was the Wicked soundtrack for the basement hallway baseboards in 2013; I remember John Denver, Mindy Gledhill, David Archuleta, and the Dixie Chicks for Paige’s walls in 2017; Mark’s room was painted almost entirely to Classical 89. This is my playlist recently:
- The Sound of Music Soundtrack
- Coco Soundtrack
- Some of Hamilton
- Josh Groban
- Tabernacle Choir
- George Ezra (repeat 16 times)
- Harry Potter audio books
- A lot of classical music, including all of the piano practice going on when the boys come home
Sometimes I just turn on the TV for company. I chose these shows recently:
- Lark Rise to Candleford series
- Jane Eyre (1983)
- Fixer Upper
- Love it or List it
- Boise Boys
- All Creatures Great and Small BBC series
- Upstairs Downstairs series (BBC 2012)
I am almost ready for Christmas music, but I am holding back the urge to listen to it. We don’t want to overlook Thanksgiving!
