still don't quite feel like playing Music--but I will

        MONDAY 4/8/19 5:21PM--I don't think I'm going to GYY tonight, pretty sure in fact...If I'm gonna use "eBay" for Wednesday's gig, I need to put new strings on it...which is easier than putting new strings on
Butterscotch...I think there's a (no longer) new set of strings in my room...Gonna try to put 'em on tomorrow...It would be a major bummer to break a string on Butterscotch...hopefully, I won't break ANY strings, on either guitar...
TUESDAY 4/8/19 11:54AM--got a mic stand, clip and two .010 strings...started to get at least a little excited about tomorrow's gig...I've got fair amount of prep work to do--tomorrow...Dianne is working from home today, which, IMO, limits what I can do around the house...
4:04PM--I guess I'm not too limited...I put the high E string on "Ebay", albeit with a tiny bit of difficulty...checked the strings on both guitars, they all seem to be somewhat fresh...I think the set list I got at our last practice is up to date...
5:31PM--wrestling with Google Maps, trying to figure out how to get, first, to a McDonald's for Dinner, then onto El Golfo...I need to decide, then put it writing...I'm more than a little familiar with the neighborhood that the McDonald's in in...but El Golfo? never been there, or anywhere nearby...I don't think...
WEDNESDAY 4/10/19 9AM--starting to pack for the gig...taking equipment inventory, assembled the mic stand...getting nervous--about playing the gig and journey to the gig...I wanna be at El Golfo by 5:30...the plan is to go to McDonald's for Dinner...gotta allow time for that...
10:47AM--just heard from Barry, he has to cancel Saturday's Combustibles gig...turns out I'm losing $80--that's a big bummer...but I'll squeak by...kinda sorry I printed the set list...
12:45PM--really getting nervous now...but I'm gonna try to take a nap anyway...gonna take a Xanax before I leave...
6:20PM-VERY very nervous  and feeling rather lonely…
7:50PM-we ARE as bad as the Combustibles...some of that is my fault...but it’s still depressing...
10:53PM--it's sure is weird getting home from a gig before 11:00, in the middle of the week, but that's what happened...despite some anxiety about finding my way home, I made it...
11:01PM--dunno if it was nerves or what (I forgot to take a Xanax), but *I* was plenty bad myself tonight, never mind the whole band...and both the band leader and the female vocalist said that they thought the gig went well...sheesh...I think I messed up the lyrics to TAKE IT EASY, and the tablet was right there in front of me--open!
11:30PM--a lot can happen in a week, but I'm looking forward to the Dead Jam at El Golfo, now that I know how to get there...
