I did what I wanted to do...

 ...and got the expected result. Nothing.


          MONDAY 10/17/22 6PM--so tomorrow's another day. From the visit to Riderwood I learned that Alvin and I BOTH are having balance problems. Dr. April told him (and me) to get out and do stuff. So maybe I'll go to Hershey's tomorrow night. Whether SueEl goes or not.
9PM--SueEl won't be going.
9:27PM--I think Barry might wanna buy my 12-string Strat parts--the body and the neck together for $150. We'll see. I think he just might have misunderstood me. I said (I think) $75 for the neck. Somehow the deal turned into $150 for the neck AND the body (including the PUs and bridge and tuners). I think we're meeting on Wednesday.
TUESDAY 10/18/22 6:57PM--As far as *I* know, Barry and I are meeting tomorrow. If he is at all innarested, I have a couple more guitars to sell. Just not "Pete". Not yet anyway.
10:07PM--starting to get anxious about Friday...If I don't hear from anybody, I ain't goin nowhere. Which I bet will have repercussions of some sort.
WEDNESDAY 10/19/22 8:15AM--I think I'm meeting with Barry later. Otherwise, I don't think, I'm pretty much free. And I'm OK with that. Dianne is trying out the new washer. Fingers crossed. If it works for Dianne, it might work for me. Unless I f**k it up.
     When I don't seem to have anything on my calendar, I get nervous. When I DO have something on my calendar I get nervous. What am I to do?
11:05 AM-I’m meeting Barry at 2PM in Germantown.
6:24PM--it has been a rather stressful three hours since I saw Barry...I was convinced that my phone was missing, if not lost. Luckily, I was wrong about that. I THOUGHT that Wendy's forgot to give me my cheese burger--I was wrong about that too. *I* believe it's the Doctor's office to contact ME with any and all info regarding my operation. And I believe I'm RIGHT about that.
7:16PM--still trying to get more photos printed...gonna try again tomorrow. Just have to remember to mail them to myself, then save them to Photos--NOT Google Photos. That's where I get 'em from in the first place.
THURSDAY 10/20/ 8:26AM--today is definitely as bad as any Monday I've experienced lately. I shudder to think how it could be worse. Don't answer that.
12:25PM-- I got some photos printed and framed today. That made me feel real good. Now I gotta hang 'em. Plus I found out a little more about what's gonna happen tomorrow. Not everything, but more than I knew before. I feel good about that. Any step forward is progress, right?
4:13PM--now I know a lot more than I did before and it's scaring me considerably. If they put in a stent (whatever that is) I'll have to stay in overnight for observation. And I won't be able to drive for a day or two. The good news is that although Dianne has to drive me home (as well as there) she might be able to work from her parents' apartment. Thank you Universe (so far).
5:27PM- for logical reasons, Dianne is being especially grouchy. That the reasons are logical doesn't make it any easier to live with.

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,...
