Daily Comment

This has been a busy week. Too busy, for this guy.

Most of the unwanted busy-ness comes from work. Just a lot of stuff happening at once, all week long. It has been relentless.

That's unusual.

I'm not complaining, mind you. I know the choice I've made, and it's all on me. Including my making it worse by going out every night after work. Except it only makes work worse - and work doesn't take priority over music in my world. Not these days.

Playing bass brings me joy. I will sacrifice work and sleep for that joy. Maybe I'm addicted.

So be it. These are reports, observations, not complaints.

I'm smiling as I write this.

Because life is good. Subbing as the house bass player at my favorite open mic last night was joyful. Not only did I get a lot of playing in, including maybe a half-dozen songs I'd never played before, but I reconnected (and, of course, played with) one of my favorite and most accomplished local drummers.

Yes, I was out until after two in the morning, came home ravenous (after all, it was six hours since dinner, and ate far too much, even though it was all protein. But I slept well.

But briefly.

Then came in to another shit-storm at work (not my doing, not my problem, but my work load).

No big deal. I'll get over it. Long weekend ahead, full of music.

Have a great weekend, all. See you when I publish Tuesday's post Wednesday.

Diet Comment

My late eating and extra drinking, combined with only four hours of sleep added almost a pound. So it goes. I'll sleep tonight, and eat earlier, too.
