67. I could have said it was in my way

It's getting to the point where I am struggling to come up with a song each day. It might just be blog-block, or it could be I've run dry of relevant songs.

This morning I thought I'd write about bumping my head the other day. I was rushing around getting dinner ready and walked into an open kitchen cabinet door. I said lots of curse words. The kids felt bad for me - got me ice, rubbed my neck and said comforting things like, "Wow! Mom! That's a huge bump!" and "It's going to turn all sorts of colors like yellow and green and blue." and "Now it's the size of a Cadbury Cream Egg!"

What song could go with bumping my head? Wasn't there a kids' song about it? About an old man who fell out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning?

Then I remembered another song - a song adults knew - a popular song at one time. It had a chorus that contained the words, "I almost bumped my head."

I looked up those lyrics and didn't find anything except stories about people almost bumping their heads. I tried the tap a song website and tried tapping the rhythm with my keyboard. No luck.

Then I did a Google search using wildcards and discovered I'd misremembered the lyrics.

Maybe I got a concussion when I bumped my head. And I'm not feeling up to par. It increases my paranoia...

Anyway, here is David Crosby singing Almost Cut my Hair.

Even if one day you can't think of a song to post, I love reading your stories.

Agreed. And I am feeling a lot like you these days. What have I gotten myself into? I'm ignoring my other blog, and I can't come up with anything anymore!

I love your stories too. And this song, which was my #46.
