the new normal? I hope not

 

     THURSDAY 4/21/22 10:50AM--going to an open mic tonight  with Lou (hopefully) and I'm taking BII...I don't think I'll have time to warm up. I hope I'm wrong. Or maybe I can warm up a little while we wait to play. I think I can set the amp controls while we wait as well. 7:29 PM—It’s been a rough day so far and actually this evening isn’t getting any better either… I’m almost considering prayer to improve the situation as it stands. I think Lou and I are up after the next performer. The anxiety is really hard on me right now.
8:34PM-L&S didn’t Suck as bad as I thought we were gonna suck. I was amazed that I managed to keep the vocals going well even as my guitar playing was going to hell. I still think the action needs to be raised, and/or the neck needs to be aligned properly.  I’m going to take B II to Pritchard Music Academy because they have a small repair shop now, so let’s see what they can do with it. Thank my lucky stars, if I have any, that I’ve still got Butterscotch I.
FRIDAY 4/22/22 7:45PM--Came up with a new "join"; I connected two different versions of SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW. I THINK it's perfect.Virtual DJ has made some changes, so I had to "wing it" when it came to figuring out how to do the things that I wanted to do And so I did.The whole project from beginning to end has taken altogether about three hours--but it was worth it. I changed the tempo of the Gotye version, and I changed the key of Pentatonix version. It's amazing IMHO.
SATURDAY 4/23/22 10:03AM--I dunno what we're doing today. Hopefully it ain't much. I'm wondering if just using an exercise bike on a daily basis would be enough to strengthen my legs. If I remember, I'll ask somebody at the PT place.
11:10AM--I live in a townhouse, with a split-level rancher amount of stuff in it. I admit some of it is mine, but most of it is hers. She's got lotsa cookware that we hardly or never use--why? *I* don't know. I've been outta bed for barely an hour and I'm already looking foward to my nap--if there's gonna BE one.
1:12PM--I think there will be an attempt at a nap. As long as I arrive at Best Buy at about Four PM, So I'm on way to Best Buy.

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,...
