Daily Comment

I don't know who reads this, or if anyone is still reading. I have, quite boringly, stopped writing the Comments regularly, and when I do write, I'm not sure I've been much more interesting than when I haven't.

Since I got back from my Winter travels, I've had an unusual amount of self-doubt and dark moods.

It's been situational, which means, to me, that my inner peace and my decision to be happy have been disturbed and weakened. And also that it is temporary.

Some of it has to do with the end of my Winter travels, when I was in Florida and New Orleans with friends who were depressed. It isn't contagious, but it did mean I spent weeks with the stress of hanging with friends going through a hard time, without seeing any relief.

So, very tiring.

When I got back, I found out that I had been permanently fired by Modafferi, a band that had contributed a lot to my musical fun in the past year. I was disappointed, but I was mainly upset by the way it was handled (I was never contacted about it, I found out in Facebook), and very saddened that my friendship had been rejected as well.

Then my friend Gary died, and I was preoccupied by my grief.

This weekend, I'm looking forward to a happier time, with a gig on Saturday night, and a party in New York City celebrating my nephew Dan's engagement to long-time partner Brittany.

That should be fun.

Anyway, what I've decided is to resume writing the Daily Comments (retitling the Comments section accordingly).

I think they'll probably be mostly short. And I can't promise they'll be more interesting (in fact, I'm sure they won't be, at least not with any consistency.

But there it is. And, I just want to say that I'm fine, and very grateful just to be able to continue this.

Monday will be a travel day, so it's a long weekend off.

Something else to be grateful for!

Diet Comment

I am a little disappointed that my weight gain has taken me back over two hundred pounds. I think the only surprising thing is how much weight I gained in three days, and I blame myself for eating stupidly after I ate badly one day. After Wednesday, when I ate a home-cooked meal at a friend's house, and was sent home with another complete meal which I ate four hours later, I tried to stay on-plan, but you can overeat even good foods, and pepperoni, while being a perfect no-carb food, is hardly healthy, and I find it difficult to eat only a little. Couple that with an equally large amount of cheese and that's a lot of calories and sodium to work off, and I don't work things off. Mea culpa.
