So last night, I was feeling bad from the day, and things kept going wrong at home. . .knocking things over, being unable to find things I needed, hurting myself in a bunch of small ways, that kind of thing. It’s what my friend Andrea calls “Coincidental Misfortune Syndrome”; a bit like the snowball effect.

So I was getting really bummed, and finally decided I needed to do something to make myself rally and feel better, so I grabbed the accordion and just started playing any old thing that popped into my head. That felt great. . .at least until one of the keys started sticking. Grrr.

So now I have a potentially expensive accordion repair to schedule and get taken care of, in addition to the handful of other things that have been stressing me out lately. Fantastic.

At that point, I was done with yesterday, so I went to bed at 10:30 or something.

The good news. . .is. . .uh. . .I went and looked at a really cool and inexpensive recording studio space the other night. THAT’S good news. The other good news is that I’m feeling better today. I’m still kinda ‘residually’ bummed, but it seems to be passing. I think the last few weeks have been catching up with me.

The best news of all: only two more days left of working in purgatory.
