What a day! So busy, I didn't have time to write.

Much of the busyness was work. It was a rare day where from the moment I got in until the moment I left, work occupied every bit of my time. Even lunch time was busy eating then chores.

While some circumstances, notably the ones that elicit autonomic physical reactions like fear or arousal, may in fact temporarily alter someone's mood, those are exceptional and can be controlled with practice.

After work, went to an open mic in a beautiful outdoor setting, but didn't get to play. That happens when I get there a little late and find a long list of performers already signed up. In this case, very busy. I left after a couple of hours and went to another open mic where I knew I would be able to play, even arriving late, and, it too was over-crowded. Luckily, one of the performers asked me on their set, or, again, no playing.

Happens a lot, and it never bothers me. I get more playing time in an average week than anybody else I know.

While I was waiting, I got a call to sub the next night - as bass chair in the house band of my favorite open mic.

Life is busy.

And life is good.

Late night snacking (especially cheese, with its extra dose of salt) (especially in the silly quantities I consume at the end of a good night) does it again. Boo.
