don't hold your breath

 

           

                SUNDAY 12/26/21 10:30AM--Somewhere, if she's still living, a certain DLH is celebrating her 67th birthday...It's been about FIFTY (50) years since I last saw her, but I think about her often enough. While it's not totally outta the question, I seriously doubt that she thinks of me--at all. I try to imagine what she would look like; I'm thinking Gloria Steinem, but who knows? She might look like Loretta Swit (not so great IMO, fully aware of what I look like) for all I know.This is one of those times when I really REALLY need to try to BE HERE NOW. But I love to reminisce, no matter how painful a memeory might be...
                1:30PM--Well, Dianne is probably on the way to Florida by now. I decided to have a grilled boloney sandwich for lunch...when I noticed a lot of the melted cheese had endeed up on my shirt and jeans. I just washed the jeans for the SECOND time in two days yesturday; I'm likely gonna wash 'em again today, so I can wear them to Dietle's tomorrow, if tomorrow is Monday...I made another one to prove I could make and eat it without getting messy; One was enough to fill my stomach. As for dinner, I was only gonna eat half of the mac and cheese anyway... 
         I don't plan on going anywhere else today...I've got enough milk to make dinner and then some. I'll get more tomorrow.
                 Not having Dianne around means I don't have  Gray's Anatomy to listen to--and that make me happy.  Otherwise I'm starting to miss her already, if only a little..
5:22PM--I'm home alone with Muzzy and Sophie; the house seems pretty big, like I said it would...dinner will be mac and cheese if all goes well...
7:15PM--dinner tasted good enough...Muzzy is starting to miss Dianne, and it's only been not quite seven hours...
MONDAY 12/27/21 10:34AM-- the open mic host himself sez the open mic is ON...
11:49AM--it took awhile, but I made my "knob guide" for the Champion..I took two photos,had them printed at CVS, came home and made a copy.in Dianne's office...a copy is mounted on the amp...I'll cross my fingers...I went thru the many settings; I found some sounds I like. We'll see what happens tonite I hope.
11:52AM-and yet again I’ve lost some of the stuff I wrote earlier… anyway, the amp did  very well, as long as I wasn’t trying to dial in any effects or voices, which IS what I wanted to do…If I go to  Dietle’s  next week it’ll be with the stomp boxes…
TUESDAY 12:03AM-my bass playing sucked as well… My harmonies were very good, that counts for something…
8:21AM-as far as I know I’ve got all day today and all day tomorrow with nothing to do, except what I want to do. I could work on the guitar amp gizmo combination, and I do want to… But that can wait till tomorrow. I guess it’s time to find out when Dianne is coming home Thursday; I really hope her flight arrives during the day. I have less chance of getting lost going to Dulles  if I can make the trip in broad daylight…
8:45AM-well, the omelette was tasty enough… It didn’t look TOO bad either. I suddenly had a feeling that there is something I should be doing today, something important… But I’m not gonna give myself a headache trying to remember what that some thing is, if indeed it does exist.
I’ve got things I can watch on TV that I recorded overnight… It seems to be Star Trek day here in the Geshen residence. I don’t think I’m going out tonight, for any reason. I need to recover from last night, physically and emotionally lol. As for tomorrow night,  I have no idea what I’ll be doing… and as far as Thursday is concerned, I know one thing I WON’T be doing – going to Hershey’s…
I keep thinking it’s Sunday or MAYBE Saturday but not Tuesday… and I can’t shake that feeling, no matter how hard I try…
4:26PM-I feel… Weird, really weird… Indescribably weird. No matter how hard I try I can’t get myself to think of this as Tuesday. And I'm kinda happy about being alone, for lack of a better word...except at bedtime...
9:37PM--and now I'm hallucinating. I would have sworn in a court of law that I saw two people sitting in Dianne's car, as if  to steal it...I was wrong fortunately...
WEDNESDAY 12/29/21 11:04AM--the three drawers are done...There are likely to be things I'll be looking for that I will have some trouble finding, but not too much...I'm gonna work on the guitar after my attempted nap...I don't think I'll be able to do it once Dianne comes home...

3:18PM-well like I said I was gonna work on my guitar stuff if my nap didn’t work out and it didn’t… So I’m gonna go play with the gizmo and my new amp.

Musical homework

            THURSDAY 8/4/22 6:19PM-- started doing my band "homework"... Hoping to be ready by Sunday's practice. Made a legible copy (by hand and then laptop) of the songs and their corresponding NOTES. It didn't take too long, but I'm glad I'm finished. 10:22PM-just took the Trazodone...gonna give it until 11PM and then ready or not I'M going to bed. I don't know why, but I'm almost happy the cleaners won't be back for two weeks. This happens every time they come to clean. Tomorrow is Muzzy's play date. I should be back home by eight thirty, after I go to Safeway and get bologna.       FRIDAY 8/5/22 8:46AM--Dianne is going to the Germantown flea market by herself. She's OK with that. I've got a bunch of songs to listen to, about 14 of them. 12:10PM--I sorta forgot there will be other musical acts at next week's gig besides us...the most well known and probably the tightest will be the Marsh Brothers. Luckily we play first. 5...

Tuesday's just as bad

            TUESDAY 5/17/22 11:16AM-- someone is coming here to give me some sort of check-up. I don't think they represent UHC, but I might be wrong about that. Whoever it is, they're supposed to be here between Noon and 4PM. The sooner they get here, the sooner they'll be gone.  11:45AM--I'm nervous about the upcoming exam. As if I didn't already have enough to worry about, right? I've got bills I think need to be paid; I wanna be alone when I do it, and unless Dianne goes upstairs to work, I won't be. 1:41PM--whoever's coming to examine me should be here shortly...how long will the exam take? I have no idea, but I hope to be trying for a nap before three o'clock. 2:56PM--the exam is over, the young woman just left...I guess I'm in worse shape than I thought. I MIGHT have a mini pizza for dinner. 3:35PM--or not...the last thing I wanna do is ask Dianne to help me cook anything ...so tonight I'll have the Fettucine Alfredo, THAT I know how ...

dumber as ya get older

        MONDAY 5/23/22 8:47AM-It took me awhile, but I (alone) checked my blood sugar. it was 116. I was ok once I found the instruction booklet. I made a really good looking omelet. Today is the last day it's safe to use the eggs.         Dianne is at her doctor's appointment, I think. I'm working on the dishes,  after which...well, I dunno what I'll be doing. IF I can find the energy, I'll go to Hank's--IF I get the chance to warm up, more than a little that is. 5:10PM--the strings on Butterscotch absolutely need to be changed...well, maybe next week I'll bring it to Hank's. I'm still planning on going, but I'm not taking anything but some guitar picks. SueEl still isn't going tonight as far as I know. There might be a Fender amp and Tele already there--I can use that stuff if I get the chance to play. 7:26PM-the amp is here, the Tele is not-as far as I can see. 7:42PM-I guess I’ll be a spectator…such is Life. Nobody’s fault but mine,...
