Looked out the window this morning and noticed lots of robins - I think it was only last year that I noticed robins flocking together before leaving. So I guess they're on their way south. (I had just been wondering the other day if they'd already gone. I always get so happy when I see robins in the spring. Or I used to.) But first they've stopped off here and are feeding and fighting over the water in the birdbath (one was fending off two or three others that wanted at the water).
Makes me think of Sandy Denny, but how inapt most of the lyrics of that song are now. Yes, "Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving"... but "I am not alone while my love is near me"? But when he's not... and never will be...
Zonked again, after a bad night (asleep around 11:30, awake at 3, lay there for 2 hours or more unable to fall back to sleep, then finally did for a while). It's been over 24 hours since I took the Xanax, and I'm not taking the Paxil tonight: I'll call the doctor's office tomorrow and discuss things first. I can't go through my days feeling this way.
On the subject on inapt British folk-rock, but perhaps one that is cheering (if you're ready for being cheered) rather than bittersweet: Maddy Prior on "All Around My Hat" in the clip on YouTube from the Crackerjack show -- her whole-bodied joy of song usually makes me smile.
