Too many cooks

          

           THURSDAY 12/16/21 I did something really spontaneous today; I went to Victor Litz and bought a new guitar amp and traded in my bass amp…I think the guitar amp is fine for an open mic-unless you’re trying to compete with a half a dozen other guitar players wailing away at the same time; so I got out; I don’t know if I’m gonna play again tonight or not; can’t wait to get to Dietle’s  on Monday, THAT’S an open mic…I should’ve stayed home…I hope to have the amp figured out sometime tomorrow…SueEl is leaving soon…I would like to leave, but I can’t go anywhere because my stuff is onstage-for the next two hours…I’m trapped…
                       At least all this mess has made me (until now) forget about the Car…I ordered a side order of mac&cheese…I dunno what happened to it; so I saved a few bucks, nothing wrong with that…UPDATE-got it…8:28PM- and again I look/sound like as inept a guitar player as you’re likely to meet…and I bet I’m not; That really sucks IMO…I know it’s ego, but dammit I CAN play guitar: NEW YEAR’S resolution #1-don’t go to the Hershey’s Jam, except to eat…An hour and a half  (more or less) to go-sheesh…
9:00PM-found the Owners Manual online…
9:30PM-(hopefully) a half an hour left…ya know even with the earplugs, it’s pretty damn loud…

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,...
