maybe the bloom is off the rose

 

   TUESDAY 6/14/55 9:26PM--I dunno why but I'm just really sleepy or tired or something...I don't feel like doing much of anything, except sleeping. But it's WAY too early to go to bed. Tomorrow I really wanna buy acoustic guitar strings from somewhere and put 'em on tomorrow if at all possible. I'll try Pritchard's first. They open at 1PM on Wednesday.
WEDNESDAY 6/15/22 1:21PM--the plan is to go to Prichard's later today. Dianne is leaving at around 2PM to (among other things) take her Father to his Dr,'s appointment. I think she's also having dinner with her parents. Ahh, freedom!
6:16PM--went to Pritchard's, got new acoustic guitar strings...put 'em on, in about 45 minutes. Lou and I are going out tomorrow night as far as I know.
9:11PM--Heard from Bob...the Project is still (slowly but surely) happening. with who exactly, I don't know.
THURSDAY 6/16/22 1:02PM--Lou wants to shake things up a little, get out of the rut we're in. I made a suggestion (for me to sing) MOST EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE FOR SALE by the Kinks. He says that's too much for him to learn in a couple of hours--that surprises me. I guess it seems easy to me because *I* already know it. So we'll stick with the normal stuff. Boring though that may be.
7:44PM-I was wishing that I brought my capo, so I could play MR. QUARANTINE MAN… But there are some really good songwriters here tonight, so I’ll stick to what I know  best.
8:17PM-other than tuning problems throughout the first number, *I* think L&S did good. Not quite sure Lou agrees with me. I think this open mic goes until 10PM; perhaps L&S aren’t done yet.
Sure enough, we did a few more, with Jack Bond on lead guitar, for whatever reason.
11:33PM--I'm glad I went, even though there wasn't much of an audience, and not many performers either.
FRIDAY 6/17/22 8:19AM--As far as I know, SueEl and I are having Lunch together. I dunno when or where, but I'll find out eventually I suppose. I went to the Bank; I felt that I had no choice. Now I gotta pinch pennies until they squeal, and I've got about $250 dollars to last until the next check comes.
2:23PM--lunch with SueEl was pleasant enough, but now I'm hoping for a nap...As for dinner, I'm thinking hot dogs...
9:52PM--I had mac & cheese instead; and an ear of corn. Dianne and I are going to some kinda flea market/store tomorrow. It's at the northern most end of my old neighborhood.

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,...
