maybe the Universe has come to the rescue

 

       FRIDAY 12/3/21 10:11AM--according to what I just saw on Flakebook, the Rhythm Bandits are looking for a guitar player...I believe the Universe is sending me a signal of some sort...I've contacted them expressing the desire to audition for them...and now the needles and pins take over...the band could, after all, say to themselves "Geshen? no way"...I'll wait to hear from them before I scrape the rust off of my fingers --assuming they want to even consider me...the audition is on December the 11th...I can get back in shape by then, I think...
    10:31AM--the needles and pins are up and running...I wish I could calm down...it may be days before I hear back from anybody...I wish a could see a song list, but I haven't yet...in other social news, I heard from Lou via text...
11:06AM--found a (partial?) songlist--thirty songs, SIX that I haven't heard of...
11:12AM--getting quite a few responses from various acquaintances re: my state of Mind, etc. That's a surprise to me...in Medical News, I've stopped taking the Prozac--*I* think it has made me feel WORSE, so I'm going back to the Welbutrin...
11:34AM--I see Gail walking her laps around the Court, but I don't quite feel like chatting with her today...I think...
12:17PM--but I did anyway, for about a half an hour......I even told her about hopefully auditioning for the Bandits...apparently she is not one of their biggest fans...oh well...
12:24PM--gonna have MY Lunch soon...might even check youTube for some Bandit vids...based on the few seconds I saw, well...I think I could kick some serious butt if I got in the band...ONE WAY OUT could use some fine tuning IMO...as for my lack of stage prescence, Bryan has more than enough to make up for my lack of it...
2:00PM--the more I watch the video, the more second thoughts I have...
4:56PM--now I'm having second thoughts about my second thoughts...I really think the Bandits could be better if they at least consider the ideas brewing in my head...12/16 is a week away--IF they will give me a chance to audition...I plan on looking for my "C" harmonica...I think I would need it for MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE...
6:13PM--I thought the auditions were on the 16th of December but they might be in early January...I guess the Universe knows what it's doing, right? The waiting is STILL the hardest part...I think I'm gonna go see the Bandits at Lahinch (?) on the 11th or12th or whenever they're playing there...
7:12PM--well, if he didn't before, the main Rhythm Bandit now knows I wanna audition...he doesn't know that I wanna come and see the Band at Lahinch...
7:27PM--the Boss Bandit seems to be inviting me to a rehearsal...now I'm getting excited...
9:17PM--and nervous, *I* thought the guitarist was in charge of the auditions...whatever's gonna happen is whatever's gonna happen...and because I can't keep my mouth shut (or my fingers off of the keyboard) more than a few FB acquaintances seem to be wishing me good luck--that's downright shocking to me...and now I'm worried that I came on too strong, too gung ho about just auditioning--I KNOW there's no guarantee I'll pass the audition...But it would be a MAJOR bummer to not get the gig...I'd get over that--eventually...It's insane to worry like this, but that's what I do...oh well...

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,...
