As I wrote yesterday, today I had a "mild case of vertigo - not incapacitating, but uncomfortable." In the afternoon, I went for my first (evaluative) physical therapy appointment, hoping to leverage some knee pain I've been having sporadically for months into a general strength and flexibility upgrade. All the movement of the evaluation had a detrimental effect, slightly intensifying my vertigo, and I left early without actually engaging in any of the exercises.
I went home and rested, and then felt better.
Then I went out to my 'regular' Wednesday jam at Shifty's, a neighborhood bar with a great reputation for putting on music. I've been pretty regular there for about five years now. I'm known. I know most of the people there. I've seen some come, some go. I've made friends.
I had a particularly good night, with quite a lot of playing time, including a set of my own (last week, I showed up a little late, and didn't get to play at all).
I got a lot of friendly attention, which I enjoyed; I think (I hope), on balance, I gave as good as I got.
It is a simple thing, I think, to understand the good feelings: I feel liked, and I feel appreciated. Whether it's an illusion, a delusion, or simply my perception, it makes me feel good. I'm grateful for that.
