the new normal?

 

    SUNDAY 6/5/22 11:35AM--yet another sucky day, and I've only been outta bed not even an hour...I'm really tired of my head hitting the various kitchen cabinet doors.
   Obviously my participation in today's Lock jam has been called off. I'm afraid that just carrying the acoustic will throw me off balance. And (I think) the jam takes place at the bottom of a hill. Even if I'm empty-handed, that could lead to disaster. I'm so fucking tired of falling down in public.
     Besides there's LOTSA cleaning up to do.
12:56PM-just now having Lunch...I intend to get a little nap, if not a medium sized one.
6:35PM--it was at least a medium...now I'm trying to have mac&cheese for Dinner. I intend to eat half of it, and save the rest.
7:25PM--and that's what I did. I'm in contact with Lou. I think/hope we're going to an open mic tomorrow evening. SueEl is planning to go with me.
10:25PM--I MIGHT have lost one of Dianne's credit cards...my Life is getting suckier by the minute.
          MONDAY 6/6/22 12:03AM-- finally something good happened--Dianne had the credit card in her purse.
NOON-and then things went back to their usual Monday suckiness|7:41PM  Lou and Scott did very well, considering I was playing a guitar I was not at all used to. More importantly there were no personal incidents to interrupt the flow of the evening.  My voice was in pretty good shape too. The harmonies were damn near perfect in my opinion as well.
8:00PM-the open mic goes until 8:30, so there won’t be a second go ‘round. Darn it.
10:10PM--Tonight I feel like Lou&Scott aren't finished. There was a group sing along-COUNTRY ROADS- which I thought I was gonna sing (the verses) alone. Then I told Jeff Herbert I'd take the first half of the verses, he would get the second half. Frankly I think I coulda done the whole verse by myself. As for the parts I DID sing, I didn't hold back. That felt good. Oh well, maybe next time...tonight was the most fun I've had playing Music in quite awhile.
TUESDAY 6/7/22 12:21AM--I almost forgot--the walk from the car to the open mic was challenging, but I did it. Of course, I was empty-handed. Fortunately, I didn't have any incidents the whole evening.
5:33PM--I'm hoping to have a turkey burger for Dinner, but I think I'm gonna need some intellectual guidance, and she's working late.
5:27PM--The turkey burger is gonna have to wait; I think I'm having a "real" one this evening. Looking forward to it...

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,...
