Good Enough For Today
We have made it to the second week of the school holidays, when the plan has fallen apart, the tea has gone cold, and getting through the afternoon is good enough.
Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "What is "Cat Cry" syndrome?".

Lyrics
Verse
Week two, the holidays drag on
Our plan is to get through
The parks and picnics, they have gone
And that is fine, it's true
Chorus
Half past three, I'm barely alive
The part nobody shows
Cold tea, loud house, still I survive
The part everyone knows
Verse
A cup of tea you drink while hot
A little walk, then back
Ten happy seconds, that's a lot
Then stop before they crack
Chorus
Half past three, I'm barely alive
The part nobody shows
Cold tea, loud house, still I survive
The part everyone knows
Bridge
You scroll past someone's perfect day
Nobody's crying there
One good second, picked for display
The rest, they didn't share
Chorus
Half past three, I'm barely alive
The part nobody shows
Cold tea, loud house, still I survive
The part everyone knows
Outro
Good enough for today
Week two, and you're okay
