maybe tomorrow

 

         SATURDAY 12/18/21 11AM--So Dianne are hanging out together today but I plan to be alone tomorrow. Like I've said, I feel nearly invisible whenever we hang out with members of her family...Besides which I've got important paperwork to look for...
12:41PM-We’re at a craft fair, a big one…there MIGHT be something to drink here, but something *I* would like to eat? I haven’t found it yet…I’m glad there’s a bathroom nearby…we might be home by three o’clock or so…
5:49PM--I was in bed by about 3:30, slept/rested for about 45 minutes, more or less...I got up, compiled a second volume of Guitarless recordings. That oughta be enough, at least for awhile.Maybe I'll create the CDs on Sunday. I guess I shoud make sure that the BR-1180 is still working, because the plan is to play the CDs thru it, and play guitar along with it...I should try to get into practicing whether I'm auditioning for anybody or not.
10:54PM--I'm starting to get excited about doing whatever I'm gonna be doing tomorrow. Gonna go to bed in about an hour, I don't think the Hydroxyzine will have kicked in by then, but I don't think I can last until one o'clock AM. Maybe I don't want to; she's leaving to go into DC at about 8:30 or so...I think I'll work on the paperwork first, it would be be too early to fire up my amp. But first I need to burn a CD to play along with. And finish prepping the practice area, which shouldn't take TOO long...
SUNDAY 12/19/21 9:11AM--overnight I realised today is a good day to change the strings on Butterscotch...I'm guessing Dianne will be back by four o'clock if not sooner...maybe I should get started now.
9:19AM--well, the paperwork has been inspected; that's one less thing...I found what I was looking for.
9:48AM--breakfast was delicious enough, if not as pretty as I woulda liked...I don't think Dianne is going into DC; IF she's gonna leave at 10AM she doesn't have much time to get ready as far as *I* can see. My Plans may have just changed drastically--rats...
10:05AM--I called it, she's not gonna go into DC to meet her niece--ruins at least some of my Sunday...I think I CAN put new strings on Butterscotch, I'll just have to do that downstairs. As for getting to know my amp better, it's probably not gonna happen.The whole point is to turn it ON and scroll thru nearly thirteen presets; I think she's going out, somewhere--maybe SHE can got to the grocery store. I'm not holding my breath.
2:01PM--actually managed to do a preliminary "scrolling" test...as for changing the strings, it could happen today, but tomorrow is more likely.
5:47PM-- I guess the Universe wanted me to change the strings tomorrow--*I* wanted to do it today.Apparently that was a bad idea; I cut a string too short...It took me an hour to do FIVE strings. I'm hoping Litz will put it on for me. Within reason, I don't care how much it costs. I would like to watch, if they'll let me...I don't yet have a "Plan B".
6:35PM--I want to squeeze in one more open mic at Dietle's on Monday; I 've gone thru quite a lot of hassle and frustration to attempt to change strings, specifically to play on Monday. If  the open mic doesn't happen, I will be very unhappy.
7:43PM--I guess the Sonata Project is gonna have to wait. Feels like my whole Life is one big patience test.
7:52PM--when I offered to buy Dianne's chips, she angrily thru them at me...Needless to say, *I* dunno why she's angry; but it must have been something I did...I gave her back the chips...
9:22PM--I've grown pretty bored with Zen Coloring, at least for now...or maybe I'm just ready to go to sleep..not looking foward to dealing with Litz and installing a single guitar string...I'm afraid they won't, even for money...

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,...
