it's a start

               WEDNESDAY 5/29/19 9:21AM--I've got five boxes of books ready to go to "the doggie place"--if they'll take 'em all...and then I'm done working in the basement, probably...I tried to take my time, take a break when I needed it...I wanna be back by lunchtime...I intend to go out soon, before the weather gets as bad as they say it's gonna get...
1PM--the doggie place didn't want the books...Wonder Books took all five boxes and gave me (drum roll) $7.00...NOT $7 per box...that's $1.40 per box...absolutely dunno the total number of books they got from me...it coulda been as much as 25, maybe a bit more...let's say 25 for mathematical reasons...that's TWENTY-EIGHT CENTS PER BOOK...that's perverted...I bet NONE of those books will be priced at less than $5 dollars...
  6:31PM--Maria says she's coming at around 9:30 tomorrow morning...I'll be at Dr. Snow's office...I'm pretty sure they'll be gone by the time I get back home...not looking forward to the visit with the Doctor...
           THURSDAY 5/30/19 6:25AM--I don't like being up this early at all, but I've already shaved and washed my hair and started the final clean-up in the living room...I think Dianne is leaving earlier than usual...
7:47PM--went to the Doctor's today...HE doesn't think I had a "mini-stroke"...he should know, right? It felt like I had to move mountains, but I finally got some more Vyvance...In a way, I wanna go out, somewhere either Friday or Saturday...and in a way I don't...*I* think some of this lethargy is due to the absence of Vyvance...
FRIDAY 5/31/19 10AM--still organizing the basement...worked for about 20 minutes...thought it was a good idea to stop, so I did...still thinking of going to GYY tonight...not definitely, but I kinda want to...except that the open mic isn't until MONDAY...sheesh...
            11:27AM--I was on the phone (on hold) for about 15 minutes trying to get an appointment with a Doctor about the splotches on my legs...someone even hung up on me...naturally I'm not as happy as I was when first picked up the phone...I'll possibly try again later this afternoon...if that doesn't work, there's always MONDAY...
3PM--I believe my Monthly payments on the wireless will be about "$25"...and I have an appointment with Dr. Rana in Rockville on Thursday 6/6 at 1:45
I THINK Dianne will be outta town starting Sunday, for an as yet to be decided amount of time...THAT has certain implications for me...
5:30PM--still dunno about Dianne's Sunday plans, but then neither does she...

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

         MONDAY 5/27/19 NOON--it has taken an HOUR to get back online and logged in.I dunno what happened or why, but it was seriously frustrating...In addition to that, I've had a serious medical problem; while cleaning/organizing the basement...I've got two boxes of books ready to go, one of them is dangerously heavy, I should probably take some books out...gonna do some research to find out what happened to me--my legs gave out and why; I couldn't get up off the floor...I panicked a LOT, I'm sure that didn't help my body at all ...trying to do my research, but I'm having an unbelievable struggle with technology...
12:20PM--life may be getting back to it's usual state...spoke too soon...a credit card problem between my Bank and Amazo...at first I told the powers that be that I DID NOT buy anything today for $119...then I remembered: I put $119 into Savings specifically to be ready to pay for my "subscription" to Amazon Prime...they automatically take the money...dunno whether Amazon warned me that they take the money...eventually cleared THAT situation up...
     5:19PM--feeling better, almost my normal self...got a pretty good nap, thanks to Xanax...let's see how long I feel halfway decent..minutes away from Dinner...the $119 dollars in savings now (I think) needs to be transferred to Checking...it took about five attempts to take a screenshot of the Transfer, I thought I had that down...a LOUSY Monday, as far as *I* am concerned...and it's not over...the good news? I haven't spent so much as a penny today...
9:41PM--except that I owe Dianne about $15 dollars...I must go to the Bank tomorrow and get an as yet undetermined amount of cash...
TUESDAY 5/2/19 9:32AM--FUCK! still wrestling with technology...two and a half fucking hours..apparently I couldn't/can't go to any fucking website without registering like a fucking first timer and/or creating a new fucking password...
6:37PM--I think my interaction with my laptop and the Internet has returned to normal...in medical news, in order to lessen the chances of having another incident like the one I had yesterday, I'm done "pleasing myself"...that's a huge bummer, but inevitable...:
7:17PM--more fucking TECH problems--I think I somehow lost the G mail Inbox on my phone...after lotsa button pushing, I think I got it back--not 100% sure though...LATER--nope, not on the phone--gonna have to Customer service or tech support...maybe not, Dianne sez there's no such label/category (on an iPhone) as G mail INBOX...I really wanna believe her..
9:11PM--I'm gonna try to let it go, at least for the time being...today I got my first speeding ticket since buying my Corolla...it will cost $40...it coulda been worse...

I actually used some restraint

          SUNDAY 5/26/19 5:20PM--We went to Unique Thrift shop, we were among the first shoppers there...I came home with 1pr. shorts, 2 t-shirts,1 book, and six pairs of socks...maybe I shoulda looked at the label--they are not made of Cotton...on the other hand, they fit and their thinness doesn't bother me...it may be a good thing somehow...
       6:30PM--Some guy is coming by on Tuesday to inspect the house for some reason that I can't remember...I have to clear a path for him...that's how my Monday is gonna start, with a Gov't Project...
8:04PM--knowing what I'm doing tomorrow has got me thinking about organizing/cleaning the basement...and my bedroom AND the 3-drawer mini-chest next to the chair I sit in...

free at last?

        SATURDAY 5/25/19 5:09PM--woke up 20 minutes ago from a nearly 90 minute nap...had a dream during it, which I've since forgotten...I needed that nap...I purchased (on Victor Litz credit) a wireless system for my guitar(s) on Friday morning(?) and tried it out at the ACME Band gig later that day/night...because I didn't have the manual with me, I was winging it when I hooked it up...I couldn't get it to work then, but I fixed the problem earlier today...so if I want to roam the audience, I should be able to...typically, I have NO Musical plans for the foreseeable future, not even a rehearsal--that I know of...
              I bought a bigger bag to carry my Musical stuff in at a thrift shop...Speaking of which, I wanted to donate lotsa  books to Unique early tomorrow, but unless things change, I will NOT be boxing them up after Dinner--I just don't feel like taking on a project of that size...I AM thinking of switching from the Mudd bag to the LeSportsac bag this evening after Dinner...it's something to do, because unless I'm suddenly playing somewhere and getting paid for it tonight, I ain't goin' nowhere...I would say "wiped out" barely scratches the surface with regard to how my body feels...Jackie is playing up the street...oh well...
                Just registered with a finance company to pay for the wireless I bought from Litz...and I got a piece of plastic in today's mail too...
9PM--without specifically planning to, I've spent the last hour or so working on a doodle...instead of taking a photo of it and posting it online, I could take a photo of it, frame it, and possibly hang somewhere...when we get to Unique tomorrow, I'll go check out the frames, because who knows? That is, IF I remember to bring something to measure with...
9:22PM--never got around to switching my equipment bags...oh well...

hoping to get back to "normal", whatever that means

      SUNDAY 5/19/19 5:55PM--went to iHOP for Dinner, but what I had is better known as "breakfast"...I had French Toast, 2 slices of bacon and 1/3 of Dianne's cheese omelet...
        I may change my Mind by the time I sit down to talk to him, but I have an appointment with the Borelli surrogate and I'm looking forward to it...I told Dianne that IMO the reason NOBODY on FB asked me about a free ticket to a show in DC is because they'd have to sit with me...she says I'm being silly...I disagree...THREE times I posted a song/video of Jonatha Brooke, I got ONE response--from someone who wanted to go but was unable to attend because of a prior commitment...I really thought Angela would wanna go--she seems to like a variety of Music and she doesn't seem to have a problem with going into DC to see various bands and singers...unless it means sitting with ME...
MONDAY 5/20/19 8:40AM- sitting at the doctor’s office waiting for it to open...this being early definitely has its disadvantages…the door is supposed to open at 8:45...we’ll see...if the visit is brief enough, I’ll get the car washed before I go to Litz...
11:46AM--the visit was not all that brief...afterwards I went to Litz, seemingly applied for and got credit there (for when I buy a keyboard amp of some sort) and then I got the car washed...still having mixed feelings about the man they call "Dr. G"...I belatedly took my meds, leaving out the Vyvance because Dr. G recommended that...
9:18PM--I think I'm gonna go to bed pretty close to 10PM--I've got an errand or two to do, but that shouldn't take all day...
TUESDAY 11:03PM--Dr.G suggested I start winding down after dinner and not do stuff that metaphorically  gets my blood pumping...I kinda failed at that tonight...he also suggested not eating stuff all evening long--that's really gonna be tough...gonna try going to bed at Midnight, if not sooner...I DO tend to wind down after gigs and band practices--and there's a rehearsal tomorrow for the 4th Thursday Band...

nothing to brag about

       SUNDAY 5/19/19 7:10AM--so this is what 64 feels like...not really all that different from 63, as far as I can see...My Life hasn't gone the way I wanted it to; that's mostly my fault...and knowing it's mostly my fault makes me feel a bit worse...I went to Broadcasting School because I wanted to be a DJ...I was for a month or so then that dream died...I think that maybe the Last Chance Band might have possibly gone on to bigger things--but it didn't and that dream died...I thought that perhaps I might possibly somehow be able to put an album of my Music out, like many of my "friends" have--and that dream is probably dead...unless I win the Lottery, to the tune of $15,000 dollars or so...that's after taxes, by the way...but you gotta play it to win it, and *I* believe I have the potential to develop a gambling addiction--and I can't afford that.
                       So my Life is nothing to brag about...and again, knowing there may be millions of people who can say that doesn't help all that much...it has belatedly occurred to me that Ray Weaver, to cite one example, hasn't quite fulfilled HIS ambition--close perhaps, but not all the way...
           So today's big event is the Jonatha Brooke concert tonight in DC...I'm trying not to worry about the logistics of getting there, but it will be quite a process...
9:00AM--or I can just forget the whole fuckin' thing--I'm sure I've thrown away $70 before, maybe not in one fell swoop though... but over the course of about 64 years, I've thrown away way more than 70  bucks...the Bass guitar I currently have might qualify as money thrown away; I'm gonna seriously practice with it to determine once and for all if it hurts my hand...and if it does, I might trade it in for something that won't hurt my left hand...
                Like I told someone, the concert experience itself is not always satisfying to me...at least I've got the (signed) DVD, even though it was shot in 2006...it's just about 90 minutes long...I can watch as much of it as I want to, when I want to, naked if I so desire...I DO wish I'd gotten it before I bought the tickets to her show...and I could have, if my Brain worked better...and that's only gonna get worse...it was Dianne who (tactlessly?) pointed out that I hadn't thought everything through...
     There are probably more benefits to cancelling the trip than going to the show...I don't have to worry about logistics, or the potentially horrible weather...or looking at an empty seat that I couldn't GIVE away (THAT hurts a bit)...or being among people that I might find to be boorish...or people that might find ME to be boorish--I wish I didn't care what people think of me, but I do...and for all *I* know, the guitarist I wanna see/hear might not be the guitarist currently in her band...she might not play songs I like or know...I do think she'll play at least one, right? But which one? I don't have to figure out what when and where I'm gonna have Dinner...one downside might be that none of my fantasies will even have a chance of coming true...the most feasible one being running into Jonatha on the street before the show...of course, knowing me, my legs would turn to Jell-O and I probably wouldn't be able to control what comes outta my Mouth...
                  I already feel OK with cancelling the trip into DC...I regret losing the money a bit...and I won't have the opportunity to take photos...

I THINK it was worth it

            FRIDAY 5/17/19 8:15AM--it took an HOUR but I was finally able to watch a bit of the Jonatha Brooke DVD, specifically STEADY PULL...but on my laptop, not the TV--not my first choice, but it works...I dunno WHY I can't watch it thru the DVD player/TV...The only things I need to do today are go to Target and exchange the socks...and do my 4TH Thursday homework...whatever songs we're doing...*I* seem to be the one causing trouble with the set list...
1:32PM--there's a woman I think about sometimes, not in spite of the fact that she may be trans, but because she may be trans...I KNOW that's possibly not "normal", but it is the way I sometimes feel...I just watched/listened to a video of her singing...yeah, I'd say it's more likely than not that she was a "he" in the past...
4:52PM--As usual I didn't really get a nap, even though I really needed one...and reading emails from two different sets of band members has made me even more tired...I know as much now about my future local Musical activities as I did when I was asleep last night...
8:36PM- it’s a long story, but Sue and Michael will not be visiting Gaithersburg tomorrow… I’m OK with that;  but now I don’t know what, if anything, Dianne and I are going to be doing...and I don’t yet feel like going out, knowing I’ll be going out on Sunday...
     Speaking of which, there are a couple of eating choices somewhat near the concert venue...I dunno for sure, but I think I wanna be exiting the NoMa Metro station at around 5PM if not a teeny bit sooner...I'll have something for Dinner then walk to the City Winery...thank somebody it will be daylight--until after the show...then I'll have reason to panic...
       9:55PM--Twice I have offered the World of Flakebook a FREE ticket to the Jonatha Brooke concert--still no takers...it's always good to know who your real friends might be...I hoped to hear from Angela, but I should give up on that idea...she'd have to sit with me, horror of Horrors...
SATURDAY 5/18 1:40PM--I'm feeling down...trying to forget about feeling so alone and think about the concert tomorrow...I should be able to get some pictures...
11:15PM--Dianne took me out to Dinner for my birthday, which is tomorrow...I had a NY Strip steak and some mozzarella sticks...I brought some of them home...after dinner we went to Baskin-Robbins for dessert...I asked for a choc shake, which I'VE always thought was made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup...the girl behind the counter was completely confused by my request--English wasn't even her second language...so I had a Vanilla shake for dessert, maybe my first...

another wacky but busy week

                 MONDAY 5/13/19 9AM--I was in bed last night before 9PM and slept pretty good until about 6AM...then I had to chase the cat around Dianne's bedroom in order to get her into the crate to take her to PetSmart...how I HATE chasing her around...
              Doing laundry...practicing my keyboard, going to Safeway--after I go to Litz to look at sustain pedals...
9:37PM--did everything I said I was gonna do...probably going to bed at 10:00 or so...though it may be closer to 11PM...gonna do the rags on Tuesday, I assume the girls are coming on Thursday if not Wednesday...
TUESDAY 5/14/19 8:18AM--the day before I get SSA check #23 I have $92 in my pocket and $117 in my checking account...I find that to be amazing....a few minutes ago, I broke a tooth...kinda scared about that  now...
4:20PM-gonna have a MEDIUM Potomac Pizza for dinner, just to stop a certain someone from nagging me about finances...I fully intend to have it delivered...still dunno if I’m going to play with Ray or not... I suspect he wants to know soon...
WEDNESDAY 5/15/19 6:10PM--was thinking about taking a nostalgia tour of my old neighborhood on the way to the gig with Ray in Severna Park then I remembered--BE HERE NOW...gotta hang onto that idea...BTW, I got the SSA check and moved what had been in checking into savings...I AM tempted to apply for credit at Litz so I can buy a powered speaker to play my keyboard thru...it costs about $250 dollars...I'm not in a hurry, oddly enough...I just hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew hoping to play keyboards in the ACME Band...dunno when the "audition" will be...
THURSDAY 5/16/19 8:40AM--my plans for today include:, getting outta the cleaning ladies' way, having Lunch, taking a nap, taking a shower, getting dressed, packing the acoustic and Manchester bag and leaving for Severna Park by 5:30 or so...maybe earlier if I'm gonna have Dinner there...I think there's a McDonald's nearby--not my first choice, but that's what there is...
4:25PM--well, I may be dressed a teeny bit too casually for the gig with Ray, but I need to hear that from HIM...it's rather hot outside and will be especially so in my car...I shaved and took a shower...I believe I'm as packed up as I'm gonna be...BTW I got the signed Jonatha Brooke CD?DVD package...can't wait to watch it tomorrow morning...

bad timing?

                     SATURDAY 5/11/19 7:20AM--considering that I didn't go to bed until 2AM, after driving to Davidsonville, playing a gig and driving home, I really didn't think I'd be up this early...there must be a nap later...hopefully more than an hour's worth...Dianne said she had a good time and I'm glad she went--and not just because we took her car...
                I cancelled my previously scheduled appointment with MyEyeDr.; we'll try again on the 25th...we can always change it again if we have to, right? I dunno for sure what's going on this morning/afternoon, but by 12:30 I hope to be preparing to take a nap, as opposed to having my eyes examined...
3:30PM- I ended up going to MyEyeDr. this afternoon after all…I ordered new glasses and paid for them myself... now I’m going to try to get a little bit of a nap; I don’t really expect to though... I’m going to get dinner at Wendy’s; bring it back home eat it and go to the gig...I’m also going to Wendy’s to get something for Dianne, otherwise I would just keep going till I got to Bethesda... I’m going to wash my hair for sure… Probably won’t shave, but I will change clothes-all of them...
SUNDAY 9AM--it feels really weird to have $145 (in my pocket) to last three days, but do and I like it...I don't think I'm going with Dianne to celebrate (her) Mother's Day...I might go to Litz to shop for a sustain pedal...
12:35PM--or  I'll do that tomorrow...I've got stuff around here to do...but at this minute, I need a nap...the dishes have been dealt with; that's one less thing...
5:25PM--the nap lasted the better part of two and a half hours...obviously, I needed some sleep...but now I'm up and I still feel like I need sleep...I was kinda supposed to go to the grocery store, but I just don't have the energy...

well, after all it IS Monday (but it's getting better)

             MONDAY 5/6/19 8:45AM- it’s definitely Monday… All sorts of little things are going wrong; I KNOW these things are just about as insignificant as they can be, but they're piling up...I can’t wait till this day is over...
      Met with a new doctor this morning...he may replace Dr. Borelli permanently, I think it's up to me...going to see Dr. Malinsky in about 45 minutes...gonna be having a late Lunch...don't EVEN know what I'm having for Dinner...
1PM--the visit with Malinsky went well; she took measurements for my next pair of diabetic shoes...
WEDNESDAY 5/8/19 8:20AM--I swept the deck, cleaned the top of the deck table and started some laundry...going to CVS as much for the roomie as myself...should go to Safeway and get hot dogs, rolls and fudgesicles...then I've got nothing to do until after my nap...
2:27PM-- I worked on/practiced my keyboard...I'm using colored dots to help me with the refrain in SUPERSTITIOUS...I'm getting better at it all the time...
FRIDAY 5/10/19 7:30AM--doing some laundry...gotta go to the Bank and get some cash...will likely go to Safeway and get bread and milk, after the attempted nap...gotta get gas before I leave for Ray's gig...have no idea what I'm having for Dinner...a Wendy's burger seems likely...now that they're easier to get to, I'm gonna go to Pritchard's to look for a blank chord book for keyboards...still planning on going to play with Ray, never mind the weather...1) I said I would and 2) I can always use $20, if he offers me any dough...so it's almost nap time...these days I'm lucky if I get an hour's worth...because of the Vyvance, not the dog...
1:17PM--but as sleepy/tired as I feel right now, you'd think I'd get more than an hours sleep...but I probably won't...I need to pack for the gig with Ray; but I don't have to pack much--just the Manchester bag...my Dinner plans may change...a burger and meatloaf (yesterday's Dinner) aren't that different...but meatloaf and hot dogs are, IMO...
3:53PM--some torrential rain came thru...my car windows were down...I DO wonder how my neighbor got my number to text me that message...I don't think it will be torrential by the time I (we?) leave here...Dianne just might be going...I bet she'll regret that...so will I...

maybe not exactly what I had in mind

                  SUNDAY 5/5/19 2:34AM--twenty-four hours from now I'll be bringing Dianne home from BWI...there was some kind of screw-up and Dianne  is taking a different flight from the one she originally had...I dunno what happened...in any case, I have to go BWI to pick her up...probably gonna leave here for BWI at about Midnight...not looking forward to that trip...
                9:20AM--I've got damn near nothing to do except go to the Bank and get some cash for me and the $40 I "borrowed" from Dianne...I feel as though I must try to take a nap after Lunch...The plan is to take all my morning meds soon except the Vyvance...I'm gonna take THAT one at lunchtime...hopefully it will help me stay awake so I can go get Dianne late tonight...
10:05AM--heard from Dianne a few minutes ago--she somehow managed to catch the same flight home as Mike & Linda!!!...I don't have to go to BWI at Midnight after all!!! If I wasn't so wiped out, I'd do a happy dance...
10:38AM--I'm struggling to make it to Lunchtime w/o taking a nap...I don't think I'm gomna...even an hour might make a difference...
12:46PM--I actually got a 45 minute nap before Lunch, a nap that might have lasted longer if Dianne hadn't called...so Lunch is over and it's almost naptime--hopefully longer than 45 minutes...there's lotsa unrelated ideas rolling around in my Head...I'm thinking of getting some more photos (instead of doodles) printed and framed...got a couple of choices already...
5PM--a lot of things are going right, little ones AND big ones...but kinda like last night, I suspect I'll be going to bed later than I want to...and there is already a "to do" list for Monday...
7PM--my Tamsulosin had been missing for a few days ...I have no idea what if any negative effects suddenly stopping using it has had on me but I bet there have been at least a few...I just found the missing bottle...again, Life is unusually Good...
9PM--I have no idea when Dianne (and Mike &Linda) lands at BWI...then of course they have to collect their luggage and make the trip from BWI to Rockville...the way Mike drives I imagine the trip will take maybe 30 minutes...Dianne will call or text me at some point...
10:06PM--I guess instead of leaving for BWI somewhere around Midnight, I'll just be driving to Rockville...I'm getting sleepy...I'm hoping Mike&Linda will drop Dianne off here...it's kinda sorta on the way to Rockville...

a Magical night

     
             SATURDAY 5/4/19 1:40AM--I had just about the best burger I've ever had at the OTWC this evening...the point of going to hear the Marsh Brothers was to assess the quality of their performance...I think they were pretty darn good...
      After the "hello" handshake with Jessica, SHE hugged ME...at least that's how I now remember it...and I had a couple of wonderful chats with Reneé as well...and a fun discussion of old TV shows with Mike Murray...
         I hope my happiness doesn't prevent me from getting any sleep tonight...I have already taken care of the trash...Unless I'm missing something, all I have to do is return a book to the Library...I dunno if I should help the animals go upstairs with me or just let 'em join me when they feel like it...that seems to make the most sense...
7AM--yeah, I had trouble falling asleep...and I don't think Muzzy's clinginess had that much to do with it..I should/will return the Library book when I go to McD's for breakfast...I feel as though I have unlimited freedom until about 5PM or so which is when I'll have something for Dinner, I dunno what yet...I intend to prep the gizmo, maybe practice patch switching...I kinda sorta forgot that one can go to the next desired patch (in Memory Mode) without actually activating it...
                    But before working with the gizmo, and after Lunch, there must be/will be an attempt at a nap...
8AM--now I can't get Reneé outta my head...seeing her seeming to be deliriously happy was fun to watch...I think I even told her that...had a good discussion with Butch about the future and other stuff--both the Band's and the duo (Butch and me) when it gets off the ground...
10:52AM--it's early, but my voice is not in the best shape...that's mostly from trying to talk over the Music I heard last night...I think I need to go get more fudgesicles before Dinnertime...and, I suppose, I need to get Dinner from somewhere...Subway perhaps...
4PM--so I didn't really get a nap...But I'm ahead of my schedule a little bit...the Mudd bag, amp and amp stand are in the living room--if we're playing in the space I can see in my head, I'll need the amp stand...after I rest up from walking the dog, I'll get going with the rest of my "to do" list...starting with the Mudd bag inventory...4:25PM--and now THAT'S finished...I almost had to go to the Bank, but I "borrowed" $40 from Dianne...I should be back from the store and Subway by 5:30, which gives me an hour and a half to eat and get dressed...
5:11PM--I got back from Subway and Safeway ten minutes ago, about 30 minutes ahead of schedule...hope to be done Dinner by 6:15 or so and dressed by 6:40...I have to bring "eBay" downstairs, which I will do when I get dressed...
6:22PM--the gig doesn't start until 9:30 and ends at 12:30AM Sunday...I might be home by 2AM...in other news, there's been some kinda screw-up...Dianne will be arriving at BWI at about 1AM Monday--and *I* have to pick her up...not really looking forward to that--it's easier to get lost in the dark...
6:30PM--boy did I ever fuck up...I had the  mac and cheese I was saving for tomorrow night for Dinner today...and I left the sub I bought to have for Dinner today in the car...a BIG fuck-up...

Is this how it starts?

      WEDNESDAY 5/1/19 3:35PM--I came outta the grocery store looking for the spare key I use to start the car, but I couldn't find it...it was in the ignition--with the engine running!!! It's a miracle that the car was still there, even considering it's condition...Is this the true beginning of Alzheimer's? BTW, I'm going out tonight; Lou&Scott are back!
THURSDAY 5/2/19 8:10AM--the cleaning ladies are due in about 20 minutes...that's fantastic IMO...they will probably be gone by 9:30 or so...Dunno what I'm having for Dinner, probably hot dogs...
11:09AM--there's a photolab place across the street; it's been there forever, I dunno why I haven't tried it before...so I tried it this morning...the problem with my doodles is that they're square and there aren't many frames that are square...if there's a way around that, *I* dunno what it is...
11:52AM--maybe I could/should use the guy across the street to print actual photos...an 8X10 costs about $8.00...
FRIDAY 5/3/19 5:15AM--I'm really really glad that the gig with the Combustibles is tomorrow, not today...getting up this early, in order to be at Dulles Airport by 7-ish will likely wreak havoc with my body clock...I DO have stuff to do, but I'm grateful that a gig isn't one of them...
9:37AM- actually, I don’t have anything to do-yet… I couldn’t cancel the appointment with (NOT) Dr. Borelli so I rescheduled the appointment with Dr. Malinsky…and put it in my phone immediately... I thought of doing that before, but I figured THAT would be next to impossible… now maybe I can bring my stress level down a bunch...actually, I’m almost happy-or at least relieved; and grateful…
11:07AM--I'm gonna try to "fake it 'til I make it", probably starting tonight when I go to the OTWC for Dinner and the Marsh Bros.I don't like pretending, but I already do some of that, we all do...maybe if I shower and shave tonight, I won't have to do that again tomorrow before the gig...when I get home tonight, I'll likely sleep in Dianne's bed--there's room for me AND the animals...as far as I know, I have nothing to do until Barry picks me up at 7:00, except eat Dinner...I could/should return one of the Library books in my possession...
