of COURSE I did the gig...

 

               SATURDAY 9/24/22 11:28AM--So I did the gig with Michelle George and Arlene after all. If nothing else, I discovered that I couldn't get the sound I wanted outta Blackie (the Tele). So I switched to Butterscotch, which made a bit of a difference. I suspect Blackie will be sold first, possibly on consignment. I tried the amp George brought for me to use but *I* couldn't get any sound out of it. It's a good thing my amp was in the trunk, where it had been since (I think) last Saturday's gig with Ray at Brian Boru.
           I don't want last night's gig to be my last gig, but it seems likely that it will be. What a bummer. I consider it to be a major anticlimax to a 50 year life as a Musician. Which somehow seems appropriate.
 As for what's happening today, I have no idea. Maybe Dianne does, but *I* don't. 
          After all the evenings I spent out this past week playing Music (all three of them) I need a break. There was more than the usual amount of driving as well. 
      I have to reschedule the stress test I was to get on Monday for some other day--Dianne needs me to drive her home from HER  Monday morning appointment. She'll be coming off of the anesthesia  she'll be under for her procedure.  Unfortunately I can't reschedule the appointment until the time OF the appointment. I'll likely get charged for it anyway. Wonderful. 

I wish THIS had been my last gig. But apparently it won't be. Ray Weaver and Friends at Brian Boru, 9/20/22.


REALLY wish I had remembered my hat last night at Brian Boru. And I hated being late. It wasn't my favorite Ray gig. I think Galway Bay was a little better, all acoustic though it was.

SATURDAY 9/24/22 2:34PM--had a late lunch, as in just now. I think that maybe we might possibly be going to the Laundromat later. It feels like Sunday. I'm so glad it's not. I'm feeling pretty far down; I don't know how to change that-yet.
5:39PM-We are at the laundromat. We should be leaving in about 20 minutes or so; to go to Family  Dollar, which is at the other end of this shopping center.
6:20PM-we could be home in about 20 minutes; I’d like that very much. I have no idea whatsoever what we’re doing tomorrow. I thought we were going to the laundromat on Sunday, but I’m glad we got it done and over with today.
7:44PM--a very late dinner...mac & cheese...
10:46PM--just took the nighttime meds...hoping to watch ST-TOS soon, although I just saw tonight's episode a couple of days ago. Although I haven't opened the package yet, my Brian Wilson t-shirt came earlier today.

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,...
