a bad surprise, eventually followed by a miracle

                  THURSDAY 8/15/19 9:31AM--CapOne has done something unexpected with my checking account--they've split it in two...so I gotta go to the bank to find out what's goin' on...as if I wasn't stressed out enough...
10:21AM--the woman at the Bank says everything is A-OK, CapOne has "consolidated their product"...She says I got something in the mail...if I look for it, I probably won't find it so I'm not gonna bother with it right now...
11:33AM--waiting for some guys to come and work on the deck...I don't need to be here...I doubt if I'm gonna get a nap today, especially if those guys show up...
 TWELVE HOURS AND TEN MINUTES LATER (Thursday)--got home from the ITN gig about 15 minutes ago...somebody up there really liked me tonight...on the way to the gig, carpooling with Mike, I realized that I'd left my glasses on top of my car while I changed into my stage shirt....when we got back to Mike's I transferred my Musical gear from Mike's vehicle to mine...I had just gotten outta his driveway, when I remembered the glasses...I assumed they had fallen off the car when I started down the driveway...I went back up into the driveway, didn't find them...so I gave up...as I was getting in the car to come home  I saw that they were still on the roof!!! *I* consider that an absolute miracle...and I am extremely grateful...wow...
  FRIDAY 8/16/19 10:21 AM--I had a relatively late breakfast, so having an early Lunch doesn't make sense to me...it's just that by 1PM, probably a lot sooner, I'm gonna need a nap...I feel like I need one now...
9:45PM--Dianne and I are going to see a movie tomorrow; it's one that SHE wants to see...then we're going to iHOP for dinner (I think) so I don't expect to get home until almost 7:00...which gives me (IMO) no time to shower/shave before I (possibly, hopefully) go to the OTWC...maybe I'll do all that after Lunch, and then it's done and over with..
 SATURDAY 8/1/19 12:15PM--when I came back from Safeway my phone went missing...I went back to the store, but it wasn't there...I took a Xanax and a half cause I was seething...went back out to the car a fifth time and found it--it was next to the gas pedal FACE DOWN and blended in with the floor mat...Dianne thinks we might be home by 6PM--I'll take a shower then...
7:35PM—I didn’t get the nap I hoped I’d  get so I got up at 1:30 and took the shower and the shave and all that stuff and then we went to the movies…  We came home and pretty much turned right back around and went to the OTWC-and that’s where I am now...The reason for being here was mostly social...that has worked out rather well...although it IS hard to listen to a good band when you know the ones you’re in pretty much suck...
11:22PM--so I saw Jessica  and actually sat with Carolyn and Leona--and the lead guitarist's wife, Helen...in spite of having ear plugs in, my ears are ringing LOTS...hope to be in bed in about an hour...will probably be awake before 7AM...so be it...I don't think I embarrassed myself this evening...quite a few people seem to like the hat...it did what it was supposed to do...
