New Project, part deux

Posted on by

I’m tired of being a half-assed musician.  Therefore, I’m going to improve.

Here is a comprehensive list of the instruments I will heretofore teach myself, with the aid of the lovely, lovely internet:

  1. Banjo
  2. Piano
  3. Bass guitar
  4. Electric guitar

Let’s do it.

Ugh, part 2

Sometimes the universe likes to combine forces and take you down with multiple channels.  Here is how my weekend went:

  1. I was outside all day Friday with the kiddums, resulting in a sunburn on my face and allergies in my nose.  Then, I spent some time on Saturday cleaning the patio, which had a lot of old dust and debris and pollen.  Saturday night, I start feeling down.  Like, crawl into bed at 8pm down.  My throat hurts, I’m achy all over, and my sunburn is creating the uncomfortable sensation of a fever.  Yuck.
  2. Our internet decided to take a short vacation, which left me without access to the world for almost three days.  Lovely.  Of course, it has returned this Sunday night, bragging about the beach and the drinks and the suntan and relaxation.  Why can my internet take a vacation but I can’t?  Something to think about.

Now, I’m going to take a bath, try to relax this odd pain out of my back and face.  Tomorrow brings a visit to Jackson’s school, where I get to be the library parent!  I can’t wait; I love books.  And Jackson.  And maybe two or three kids in his class.  I don’t really care about the rest of them.  Hey, at least I’m honest.

Tomorrow also brings some time to update this blog with a Friday and Saturday post.  We also think we’re moving, so I’ll be calling the new apartment complex and seeing what kind of price they can give me.  Cross your fingers, readers – it’s a three bedroom, with gas cooking, a pantry, lots of lawn, and a nice garden tub.

Until tomorrow, readers.  Thanks for sticking with me through this unexpected hiatus.
