#2224: Wednesday, February 20: One-day check-in


Post 2224
- 8 years and 51 days since I started this blog -

Tomorrow I start my Southern road trip, just over three weeks long.

I got back from Chiang Mai yesterday.

I am not sleeping much. I am jet-lagged confusion.

I'm having a wonderful time this Winter.

But it has cost me: It looks like I've been replaced in Modafferi.

It's understandable, but disappointing. I really enjoyed that band, and really like my band mates. That won't change.

I am working on letting my disappointment go. I'm almost there, but it's harder than usual, because I felt the band was so special - and it is, whether I'm in it or not. I know that my friendships are intact and my prospects for playing are undiminished, maybe even greater. I'm optimistic.

Meanwhile, back in the present, I was certain I had gained a bit of weight in Chiang Mai - but I was wrong. As of today's weigh-in, I gained three ounces.

That is amazing to me, given how I ate sweets almost every day, and drank beer every day and had a lot of carbs - hard to avoid without really working at it in Thai cooking. I also frequently had very rich, high-calorie meals. Go figure!

Anyway, tomorrow is a travel day. I'll be back March 14, and we'll renew the blogging (this format) then.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival first week in May, and my next Winter escape. Cuenca, Ecuador is calling me.

I am, as ever, grateful for all my opportunities, and for my friends and family, and a future, that, while unknowable, seems to promise more of the same.

Diet Comment
Once again, I really thought I had gained weight when I really hadn't. Nonetheless, I am so jet-lagged and with my biological clock all turned-around, that I really couldn't eat most of the day, and ended up with only one meal.
