What am I doing wrong?

 

           SUNDAY 4/17/22 8:08PM-my Fitbit is acting kind of weird… Sometimes it does everything I want it to do and sometimes it doesn’t; specifically I want to use the Weather app, but can’t yet. I do know how to use the alarms; that counts for something.
9:09PM--suddenly the Weather App on my Fitbit is active.
MONDAY 4/18/22 9:19AM--I very much wanna put new strings on Butterscotch II, but I gotta finish putting the dishes away first. I hope to start working on B II around 10AM, more or less. The working area is SUCH a mess; I'll have to try to clean it up first.
11:35AM--Dianne took my blood sugar level...It was/is 175, which is NOT good. Before she did that, I put new strings on B II. and then coming up the stairs (2 of them) I fell down, but I ctually believe it as all my fault--Apparently I'd forgotten to close the case. Anyway, I'm optimistic that the new strings will make a difference in my playing. Rain or shine, I plan to go to Dietle's tonight, with or w/o SueEl.
  12:47PM--SueEl can't go, so I'll go myself, with fingers crossed.AND the UHC exam is postponed until tomorrow. Suddenly, things may be starting to possibly, perhaps, in a way, look slightly better. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
3:23PM--I fell trying to carry B II up from the basement. I took two maybe three steps and down I went. Looking back, it wouldn't have happened if the case had been closed.
3:47PM--I tried THREE times to write myself a lyric cheat for I HEAR YOU KNOCKIN' but apparently somebody somewhere doesn't want me to play it. I also tried a few times to write out the chords to the refrain of DON'T CRY NO TEARS...maybe I'm not supposed to do that one either.
11:50PM--I THINK one of my entries has disappeared, but I'm not 100% sure.So(for possibly the 2nd time) here's my report on the open mic at Hank's. At the most I would give myself a "6". I think B II sounded good--butI could barely hear myself over Jim. And I think the action was what I wanted. But I still haven't found a place to cut loose with it. I gotta start practicing.

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,...
