The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a live feed from their penguin enclosure!
I hope this works as an embed. Fingers crossed.

Now that that’s out of the way, there are no lingering effects from last night’s nausea adventure. I had some scrambled eggs for breakfast and apart from feeling a little gun shy there were no issues. I’m about 20 minutes away from being able to have a drink. I’ll probably have a protein shake and get that puppy out of the way.
Music. What’s up with that? I have four songs I’m working on, all for the next round of re-recordings. I’m dumping the record every month song. It is too lame even for me. Two of the four songs are ready for vocals. Am I ready for car vocals? Are my innards ready? Am I going to be able to push enough air to hit the high notes? I don’t know.
What else? This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. Tomorrow is Memorial Day. It’s also our 13th wedding anniversary. It’s going to be a pretty fantastic day. We are hoping to try a mini cookout for lunch. Jen wants to try turkey burgers. I’ll probably try to have half a patty without bread or condiments or anything, I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to everything,
My goal for today is simple. Take smaller portions when I eat, and take significantly smaller bites as I go. Let’s not have a repeat of the nausea adventure, m’kay?
Happy Sunday.
See this t-shirt?

I bought it shortly before the surgery. It didn’t really fit. It almost fit, but it was a smidge too small.
It still doesn’t fit all that well today, but it’s definitely better than it was.
So is that a weight loss milestone? Naw, probably not. Close, but not really.
Next time will be better.

We are on a call with Bellana right now. Literally as I type this.
She shared a ton of details on her birthday trip to Ireland. One evening they were hanging at a pub near the house they were staying in and the pub was asking people to come up to the stage and sing. Well, seeing as Bellana is literally a world class vocalist she graced the crowd with a song.
She gave a performance… in Ireland… SHE DID A GIG IN IRELAND!!!!
I just fainted from sheer glee. How awesome is that?
I love when Patches perches on Jen’s pillows while she sleeps.

We tried something new for dinner tonight. It was very exciting.
Jen stirred up some ground beef and boiled up some potatoes. I took three ounces of beef and two ounces of potato. It was a pretty amazing Irish moment for me.
There was a catch though. Even with that tiny meal, it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get through it.
Each tiny bite was chewed 32 times at least, and I waited at least 30 seconds before starting the next bite. It took a long time. I’m starting to foresee a time in the near future when I’m going to be reheating food in the microwave mid-meal. You heard it here first.
Despite the 70 minute epic event…. Oh it was so delicious. Thanks, Jen!
We’ve only watched one episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi but it was AWESOME and I can’t wait to watch episode two.

Even Patches was riveted.

The Obi-wan Kenobi series on Disney+ debuts tomorrow. Tonight, at the Star Wars Celebration convention thing (I think) they gave us a trailer for the next live action show.
Andor, which is a Rogue One prequel, will debut at the end of August, I think. I can see myself getting majorly hyped for this one at some point. I actually watched Rogue One today without even knowing this was coming.
I put rhythm guitars onto two songs tonight! The playing was rotten but I feel so good about it I could burst! It’s been too long. Way too long.
I played my SG through my new pedal board. I also tuned down to Eb for some reason. It felt good.
The Les Paul might come out tomorrow. We will see.
