I may now be perceived as the guy who keeps posting "The Sunday Thread" because it seems no matter how late I get here on Sundays, I'm rarely beaten to it. I think it's less popular now than it used to be, but then the same thing might be said for TFF, so once again, here I go.
Two long work weeks in a row ended on Friday, and I'm looking for a little down time. I have a couple of days on Wednesday and Thursday, but the time between will be easier paced. I wonder if getting up for teaching online is similar to getting up for performing on stage. I certainly feel like I have to be in the spotlight when I'm teaching. All I know is that at the end of every day I'm teaching, I feel the need to unwind.
My focus this weekend is to work on the pieces I hope to perform at the open mic night. It won't be this Tuesday, as the club is holding a concert instead, but the week after (right before Thanksgiving) is my target date. I actually got out of bed last night when I couldn't fall asleep right away and practiced them again!
The change in season has had the expected change in humidity. The humidifier in my guitar room is gulping water at a much higher rate now. I also find my hands are drying, so moisturizer is now close at hand. Maybe I'll change the strings on my Taylor today, as they now seem to sound a lot "muddier" and aren't staying in tune like before.
So, a down time, lazy Sunday. No baseball on TV, and I've completely lost interest in other sports, so I'll get outside for an hour or two, and spend the rest of the time with the guitar and maybe a book. What are your plans for today and the upcoming week?
