losing sleep? nothing new

 

     

            FRIDAY 12/24/21 6:50PM--I'm not the one who's leaving, but I'M getting excited.But even a small townhouse can seem  pretty big when you're alone with just a dog and a cat for company. But I'll be fine, probably..I dunno if I'll be able to sleep in Dianne's bed, but that don't matter too much--I have trouble sleeping in my own bed.
   7:23PM--I think tomorrow will be like most Christmases I've lived through--nowhere to go, nothing "good" on television...there are some grocery stores open for a few hours, then--nothin' until Sunday morning...
9:53PM--I find myself wishing it was Monday...and yet I'm gonna get lonely at some point...I just dunno when.
SATURDAY 12/25/21 9:48AM--I'm re-washing the jeans I washed yesterday because I forgot to put 'em in the dryer. Hopefully I won't forget about them again. As for what else is going on today, "nothing" would be my first guess. So I remain anxiously waiting for Sunday evening; I suspect I will be excited AND lonely at the same time. I'll deal with it when it hapens.
10:46AM--It's one thing to not WANT to go anywhere, but it's something else when you CAN'T go anywhere...That's what Xmas Day was like when I was growing up. It's not quite as bad these days; some places are open until about dinnertime. And then yer stuck in the house until (usually) about Lunchtime the next day...
        I'm not sure but I think Dianne will be on the road by dinnertime Sunday, if not earlier. In the meantime I think today's is gonna be a long day...And yet it will be a rather nornmal Saturday--I'll probably be trying for a nap by two or three o'clock. I don't think I'll be watching a whole lotta TV this evening, but who knows?
6:12PM--getting more antsy about Dianne leaving tomorrow...I'm worried that she feels more than a little yucky, maybe the trip will make her feel better.
7:45PM--I'm considering taking three green capsules soon...I hope that doesn't become the new normal. From what I can gather from what little research I've done, three should be OK...But maybe I should wait until closer to bedtime, whenever that's gonna be...Allegedly it starts working quickly and peaks after two hours...What *I* was doing was taking it and then going to bed two hours later...so tonight I'm gonna take it about 15 minutes befor I go upstairs, and hope that makes a difference...
8:21PM--If I'm this nervous/excited about Dianne going away for a few days, imagine how nervous I'd be if I was auditioning for a certain band tomorrow...their Hershey's gig is three weeks from tonight...If/when I get the chance to audition for that group, I hope to be warmed up LOTS...
9:08PM--the Pandemic has affected our lives in a big way...public events were, at its' first peak, either didn't happen or, if they did, attendence was low...I guess I'm afraid that COVID will prevent the Bandits from playing Hershey's, because it's starting up again--not that it went away completely in the first place...
The day after Xmas is Sunday, a day when (IMO) finding something good to watch on TV isn't easy. Today FEELS like Sunday, but it's not...
Having nearly instant total freedom is a scary idea, but it's gonna happen to me tomorrow...and I'm getting nervous about it.

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,...
