starting over

 ...and got the expected result. Nothing.           MONDAY 10/17/22 6PM--so tomorrow's another day. From the visit to Riderwood I learned that Alvin and I BOTH are having balance problems. Dr. April told him (and me) to get out and do stuff. So maybe I'll go to Hershey's tomorrow night. Whether SueEl goes or not. 9PM--SueEl won't be going. 9:27PM--I think Barry might wanna buy my 12-string Strat parts--the body and the neck together for $150. We'll see. I think he just might have misunderstood me. I said (I think) $75 for the neck. Somehow the deal turned into $150 for the neck AND the body (including the PUs and bridge and tuners). I think we're meeting on Wednesday. TUESDAY 10/18/22 6:57PM--As far as *I* know, Barry and I are meeting tomorrow. If he is at all innarested, I have a couple more guitars to sell. Just not "Pete". Not yet anyway. 10:07PM--starting to get anxious about Friday...If I don't hear from anybody, I ain't goin nowhere. W...

      SATURDAY 10/15/22 9:25AM--The junk guys are due any minute now. I don't think they're ultimately taking any of MY stuff. I'm not surprised. I think all they have is a pickup truck.(!) Oh well. After they leave? I dunno what we're doing. And I barely care.              10:40AM--they're gone...they took a lotta stuff, some of it was mine...a mic stand and/or a guitar stand. What they didn't take, I can take; using Dianne's vehicle. A job that can wait until Monday. Which could give me the opportunity to go to the Doctor's office and hopefully get things straightened out.      1:20PM--it turns out that my iPhone camera does quite a bit more than I thought. The Portrait feature alone should make a difference. And there's other lighting settings as well. I guess I'll be doing that "trial and error" thing when it comes to photography, until it becomes second nature, if it ever does. 6:50PM--feeling antsy, dunno why...it m...

      THURSDAY  10/13/22 12:03PM-so I found a barbershop inside the Kentlands; it’s allegedly been here for about 20 years. It is a “no frills” kind of place – exactly what I wanted. And the price was fair, considering it’s 2022.        I think I still have about an hour to kill before the cleaners leave. I’m OK with that, it’s better than having two hours to kill. And of course there’s always the library. 1:15PM--the cleaners have been gone for about 30 minutes or so. 1:45PM--Lunch has given me a tummy ache. I shoulda just eaten half of it. Oh well. 6:01 PM--*I* think there might possibly be a small problem with the new washer--maybe. I tried to "take care of it" but, being me, I was unable to. Getting old REALLY stinks. And it's getting worse every day. As for  the washer, I'll let Dianne discover it. Hmm, an acting job...not proud of it, though. Feeling rather guilty in fact. 11:28PM--I'm surprised that I'm taking my Musical retirement qui...

                 MONDAY 10/10/22 10:10PM--about ten minutes or so ago, Dianne loudly informed me to find somewhere else to live. After she hit me in the head with a plastic basket, that is. She's WAY more messed up than I am. And I'm pretty messed up myself. She finally pulled that "it's my house" line...        For the second time in my life, I'm contemplating permanently ending it. I've wasted my Life and now it's almost over anyway...If Dianne is serious, then so am I...  10:14PM  the plan is to take 200mgs of trazodone in about45 minutes, I really don't think I'll fall asleep w/o it. TUESDAY 10/11/22 12:22PM--the 200mgs weren't as effective as I thought they would be...  1:44PM--the new washer is here--WITHOUT any kind of instructions manual...it figures. I tried to help Dianne; spent a half an hour trying to FIND the Manual online, but could not--computer problems are her area, not mine. 4:31PM--found...

        MONDAY 10/10/22 9:37AM--I find it hard to believe that I have no Doctor's appointments  this week. But I don't mind that in the least. Not at all.      I might have to go to the grocery store to get eggs. And probably dinner too. Otherwise I THINK I've got nothing else I need to do. And I'm absolutely fine with that. 10:19AM--tried to load a watermark app to my phone...the app was too complex for this ol' geezer. So I deleted it. If somebody steals one of my photos, I might be able to prove I took it. Oh well. 5:00PM--one of my Gov't Projects is, as far as I'M concerned complete. I have at least one more to go. But that's tomorrow, I hope. 7:03PM--I think I could be possibly maybe catching a cold. My proposed 2nd trip to Copper Kettle may have to be cancelled. I'll make the decision sometime on Wednesday. I hope that if I do go, I can get in something resembling rehearsal first.

      SATURDAY 10/8/22 8:53AM--It's been a busy two hours since I got outta bed. I've started working on the basement, but I don't think I'll be finished doing MY section of it today--not even close. 12:38PM--I've even started working on my photos, at least some of which will hopefully be on the walls in my room. 4:50PM--The LAST two hours have sucked as far as *I* can see. For now, I'm still alive. You know that philosophy ONE HOUR AT  A TIME? That might be a good way to live MY Life. Tomorrow has GOT to be better; it's gotta be. 9:15PM--It feels to me like it has been a LONG Saturday, and it's not over yet. I've made some progress building a photo gallery in my bedroom. I found three (?) 8x10 frames I forgot that I bought awhile ago. But I can't find a certain B&W photo I printed at CVS a few days ago--that stinks. I'll buy it again if I have to. But I'll do one more live action search first. SUNDAY 10/9/22 10:47AM--just now havin...
