any progress is still progress, right?

 

   FRIDAY 5/27/22 8:54AM-my confidence in Butterscotch II a bit low, but I'm optimistic. it was working fine--until I threw it down on the floor. As much as I HATE falling down or not being able to get up from a kneeling position, I  SUPER hate it when it happens in public. Although there were only a dozen witnesses, if that many.
4:24PM--now it's 20 hours after it and I've decided it may have been the  worst onstage appearance I can currently remember. Dunno if I'll ever go back. I don't think I'm that brave. I wonder what, if anything, is gonna happen on Monday, musically speaking.
         SATURDAY5/28/1:35PM--it took about two hours, but I have two versions of TOO TIRED in my iTunes Library. The original and a slowed down version.I hope the other songs I have to learn for the BWP are gonna be easy enough to play using just my ears.
2:31PM-now we’re at the “big doggie” place. It moved about three doors down but it’s still pretty big. *I* couldn’t find whatever Music books they have, if any. I have forgotten where else Dianne wants to go but I suspect we won’t get home until 4 o’clock.
3:06PM-now we’re at a Nother secondhand store kind of place, in fact it’s called the Habitat for Humanity Restore. It’s very big have no idea where Dianne is, that’s how big the place is. I would say at this point we won’t get home till 5 o’clock. IMO that sucks. I have plenty of choices for dinner although most of them are some form of mac & cheese.
3:15PM-ran into an old friend just now… I can’t quite remember how we know each other, but he knew me right off the bat. I guess the hat and the goatee don’t disguise me that much.
3:25PM-we’re going to make a couple other stops, but I can’t quite remember what they are. We still could get home at 5 o’clock and I’ll just have to live with that.
3:58PM-Our current stop, FLOOR AND DECOR , is really really big-bigger than an airplane hangar. I think we’re going to get ice cream afterwards there’s an ice cream store at the end of the parking lot.
8:04PM--yet again one of my entries has vanished...*I* have no idea why. We got home at just before Five. I did some laundry and had Dinner. Some kinda pasta dish.
10:55PM--I actually thought I'd be in bed before this, but nope. As we're going to Annapolis fairly early tomorrow, I want to take a shower, shave...Hoping to have an omelet samich for breakfast...so I think I will go to bed now.

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,...
