Where was i..??.. oh yeah calming techniques, I've recently rediscovered morning music video channels again, i have Fox for motor sport, but yest n today i scrolled right down to the bottom of the menu, and came back up 1 (Fox viewer's in joke) and went to the country music channel and had a real good start to the day,, honestly Blake Sheldon made cry, but i put that down to still readjusting to my new meds.. ah humm.. clear throat, talk deeper, chest out and continue, but usually i grab my little bloke and go to the beach, now he suffers from shocking separation anxiety, see attachment photo

It's a pity that you can't cruise YouTube at work (understandably I guess) but what about listening to a web-based radio station, and wearing earbuds?
My channels include Lets Play gamers and I just discovered Dude Perfect. You'll get the cynics that say oh they didn't do that first time but how does shut up sound? It's entertainment and that's why I watch.

I can't work with music, it drives me insane.
