fresh air

 

     MONDAY 3/7/22 10AM--Lou wants me to come with him to an open mic in Monrovia on Thursday. I've asked him if I could bring SueEl; haven't heard from him yet. She might not wanna go, I guess I'll find out soon enough.
   10:15AM--SueEl can't go--she has band practice.
   10:25AM--Ray wants me to come to Brian Boru tomorrow; I want to, but a lot can happen in 24 hours.
   10:41AM--there's a guy here, building furniture...His English seems to be good enough...I'm just worried about how much he knows about building furniture. I guess many  American Men don't wanna lower themselves to such un-intellectual work. Not to mention how much money American men would wanna get paid.
11:00AM--I think the guy is gonna be here a LONG time, until like three or four o'clock...*I*  think that kinda stinks.
1:35PM-The power just went out; I think he’ll  be here until dinner time at least – really REALLY not happy about that.
1:40PM-Power back on, The TV is SLOWLY coming back- maybe.
3:35PM-The New furniture has been assembled. It took the better part of 4 1/2 hours I would say, but it’s worth it not to have to deal with the broken down boxes and pieces of Styrofoam, etc.
Now I can rest up, if only a little, before going to pick up SuEL and going to Dietle's. I’m taking my guitar and not much else. As was predicted, it’s starting to rain – I could do without it.
4:58PM--it's not a hard rain yet and I'm OK with THAT..
8:25PM-I don’t think I could’ve played any worse if I had one arm tied behind my back, and it wouldn’t matter which one… I guess I was feeling so desperate to be impressive that I was UNimpressive, as in “I sucked”. Like always, by the time I get warmed up it’s time to make way for the next act. I really gotta warm up BEFORE I take the stage

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,...
