I woke up at 5:30am, did my exercise, ate a quick breakfast, went outside to do some car music, put vocals onto five RPM Challenge songs even though “singing” made my throat really sore, came home and took the fastest shower in human history, logged into work while I was still trying to get dressed, and hit the ground running at 9:00am. It’s almost 11:30 now and I’ve been super busy at work the whole time.
Happy Monday, everyone. Hope you’re having fun.
Yesterday I was a bundle of stressed out, frayed nerves because the morning commute was such a disaster it spoiled my brain for the whole day. Today I am a bundle of stressed out, frayed nerves because of all the meetings I have to go to today. I am flat out all day long. I’m kinda scared for my stomach. It took me a full week to recover from our trip to Florida* and further along than that, yesterday was the first day since that I almost went the whole day without any problems (almost) and now today I am in meetings all day and may not be able to stop for lunch. I am at risk of a bad stomach day.**
*Florida will henceforth be known as MoonPieTown due to this post.
**I am referring to post-gastric bypass side effects and various related issues. Food/diet/digestion-wise I need to be a creature of habit and routine to succeed without weird problems and I am going to get bounced out of my routine today. I’m not happy about it, but what can you do?
I’m feeling a little productive today. It’s a weird feeling. It’s also partially thanks to me cheating a little.
I mentioned yesterday that I had a project that is due today that I hadn’t had time to work on. I got it done. Boom. Well… I have to review it with some other people before it’s officially declared complete, but I’m in a good spot. The cheat? I started work about two hours early today so that I could get it done. Not a cheat, so much, as just being the kind of employee who manipulates time and space to get up to speed. Nothing much.
I am so freakin’ busy today though. Meetings on top of meetings, and we have dinner plans tonight, and I haven’t taken a shower yet because I spent my allotted daily shower time working. Ugh. I’ll get it all done. Just you watch me.
Okay, red head. Time for a meeting, then lunch, then a meeting, then a meeting. As Thursdays go… this sure is one.
It’s May the Fourth. The day that people celebrate Star Wars because of a coincidence of pronunciation.
Disney+ released the first episode of a new animated show today. I was going to watch it before work but it’s 75 minutes long. A 75 minute Star Wars cartoon episode after the first few episodes of WandaVision didn’t even run for half an hour? I’ll get to it but not today.
After work tonight I have a Nana Sitting night. Tomorrow I have an appointment to visit my father in the hospital. Yes, you read that correctly. An appointment. Thanks, Covid-19.
I haven’t done any music since Sunday. It’s only two days, but I wanted to be more up on it than this. I’ll get it done this time.
Unless I am mistaken, 3/4 of the members of The Lizardfish have had their second vaccination shot. With all the other shit going on, do I have time to play with the band if they are ready to start playing again? Just another thing to be miserable about, I guess.
May the Fourth Be With You.
Nothing new to report. My last music post last night is still the most recent information. I haven’t had time to do anything since then, and I probably won’t have any time for the rest of today either. There are non-music (aka, real life) things going on that need to be taken care of. Monday is still the sing-till-I-puke day.
What else is going on. Well, the Bruins continued their ass kicking with another win last night. The Red Sox had their annual start of spring training games against Boston College and Northeastern University last night. John Lackey is starting the first real game of the spring this weekend. Be afraid… be very afraid.
We’re supposed to get another big snow storm this weekend. I have decided that it’s going to skip us. Yeah, it’s just going to go around Methuen and give us a miss. Right. Right?
Anyway… I’ll try to get some guitar playing done this weekend, but I might be off the project until Monday. I hope to have both RPM and FAWM finished, but there might not be enough time for both. If I finish 10 songs then I can declare RPM complete. I have to finish all 14 for FAWM. We’ll see.
