Good Morning

I got up early this morning because it’s an in the office morning (hopefully not a full day, that would be tomorrow) and I needed to get all of my morning routine stuff done extra early.

When I got out of bed I saw this scene. This pic was taken with the iPhone’s low light mode, which is why it looks a little funky colored. The only light in the room was far away and purple.

I got a second shot a few minutes later when Jen got up and turned on the bathroom light.

If that doesn’t make your heart feel all warm and fuzzy early on a Tuesday morning then nothing will. I’m 80-something miles away from home now. Hopefully I’ll get to go home at lunch time and finish the work day there. Tomorrow is the official work-in-the-office day, so I’ll be there for the full day. Let’s see how it goes.

Self Manipulation Through Guilt

I really want to play some guitar today, but I don’t think I am going to have the time. Still, I took today’s photo a day picture as a specific attempt to try and guilt myself into playing. I do this a lot and it almost never works. Oh well.

The New Les Paul

I’ve been spending so much time stressing over my old Les Paul that I thought that today’s photo a day picture should be my new Les Paul. This is the one Jen gave me for my 50th birthday and I love it that much more because of her.

I Need a Musical Weekend

Just looking ahead to this weekend. I need to make some music. I need to play some guitar. I need to play guitar through an amplifier and not just headphones. It is imperative. We’re getting to that point where not playing is affecting my mental state. Music must be made at volume. It is necessary.

Time?

Do you need time?

Daily Writing Prompt

What a stupid question.

Yes, I need time. Do I want to get to work on time? Yes. Do I want to keep appointments? Yes. Do I want to know when I can spend time with my wife and family? Absolutely, yes.

The entire human race, without exception, needs time. At the most basic level. We need to know when to sleep and when to wake up. We need to know when to eat. We need to know when the sun is going to go down and the scary monsters that want to eat us will come out of their creepy hiding places.

Really… what a stupid question.

Photo a Day Candidates

I took two cat pictures this morning. I had to decide which one would be the photo a day pic for today. I did this to take my mind off of my guitar sitting on the operating table. It worked for about three minutes.
