The day before the first day

 

          FRIDAY 12/31/21 2:55PM– so now I’m at the grocery store waiting for Dianne to finish shopping we went to the “little" doggie thrift shop, we dropped off some food at a food bank, and I went to Best Buy and picked up my new Alexa alarm clock/whatever.
             I don’t know how much longer I can “write” this particular entry; I’m running out of power in the phone. Of course I have no idea how long Dianne is going to be; she calls it a medium sized shopping trip… We’ll see about that.
4:12PM--we're home, finally...thank you Universe...Idon't  EVEN know when we're gonna set up the Echo . I'm guessing sometime tomorrow...allegedly it takes about 15 minutes; I suspect it'll take longer than that...
  4:40PM--for a few minutes the laptop kinda went wacko...all of a sudden I had a program I didn't want. I think maybe possibly I might have perhaps corrected that situation.At least I hope so.
        I tried very VERY hard to find some kinda Owner's Manual for my Echo5, and THAT was when the problem started. I didn't get any kinda nap, which is unusual, especially since it was my idea.
        The roomie is beyond exhausted, right now she's sleeping on the sofa and doesn't want to be awakened. I guess it's a foregone conclusion the Echo will have to wait until tomorrow.  Like I've said, all of Life is a patience test.   
      And I failed...but I set the Echo AND Alexa up by myself...I dunno if it's a good thing, but I can (allegedly) contact Alexa ON MY PHONE--I think....why I'd want to, I'm not totally sure... 
8:04PM--starting to feel tech overload, so I'm gonna try to wind down, more than a little...

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,...
