expectations can be shattered

        SUNDAY 9/30/18 7:45AM--leaving for my gig with Michelle soon...it's always better to be too early
than late...Rick is not available...dunno which of our "friends" are gonna show up...Arlene has a gig in Laurel later today, I don't expect to see her--or George...Jeff Jones? doubt it...Jeff Karn? wouldn't be surprised...the good news? we should have very good weather...
                  Having Dinner with the ex-in-laws...not really looking forward to that...I've got a "to do" list for tomorrow, not at all sure I'll get any of it done...

9:20AM- other than (apparently) a complete lack of soda vendors here, it’s a good day so far...I’m going to borrow one of Michelle‘s guitars to make things even more logistically simple... I have no idea exactly when Michelle is going to get here; if I was in charge, she’d be here in about 10 minutes-but I’m not in charge…

9PM--Michelle and I did pretty well...we were joined by Jeff Jones...I was kinda surprised, but I shouldn't have been...the three of us did pretty well too...IMO, *I* possibly more than anyone else know how to switch harmony parts if one of the other singers switches theirs...and even though I'd had some chocolate milk to wash down my breakfast, I did get my falsetto back, probably by the second set...I think I made maybe $15 dollars...there was basically nothing for me to eat...somebody was selling pizza, but not slices--that strikes me as being very weird...

             Came home from the gig, took a nap, went to Dinner with members of the Freedman family...it was ok--not great, but ok...I  would like to go to bed at 11, but I suspect I'll get that second wind soon...It's possible that when Dianne goes to bed, I'll watch the episode of Star Trek I recorded earlier...

MONDAY 9AM--went to bed at about 10PM...with the exception of an interruption or two I slept until about 6AM...gotta get bread for Lunch, make a couple of phone calls (really nervous about those) work on the dishes and do laundry--maybe...might go to Gumbo Ya Ya again tonight...

10:42AM--in spite of the compliments I occasionally get for my Musical ability, I still, right or wrong, feel ignored...not so much by the "civilians" but by other Musicians...I don't get it...

TECH NEWS-- it seems that if I listen to Spotify in BT AUDIO mode I CAN see what's coming up next--and that's important to me...

4:44PM--I don't quite feel like going to Gumbo Ya Ya tonight--physically or emotionally...I hope I feel better tomorrow night...

I expected to renew my Medicaid coverage online...I shoulda known better...so tomorrow I'll try using the phone number that allegedly connects me with...somebody...I don't know who or what...
