It’s been pretty damn interesting.
I am generally doing better physically. I am certainly doing better mentally. I have a Cpap, which I still struggle with, but it’s getting better. I’m getting around a little better, but only a little. It’s a long process.
The electric trike is marvelous. I have not been out on it nearly enough, but it’s been too hot. I really don’t cope with 100 degree weather. This week is better. Once we get this week’s podcast done, we are going to head out for a couple of evenings.
Had a home invasion Friday. My son, his wife and Miss Izzy came to see us. We went downstairs where there is more room to sit and Izzy saw the synths and said “PIANO!”.
“Do you want me to turn them on?”
“YES!”
So she and I sat and played the keyboards for a while. Then we went off to see model trains and have frozen custard. All in all a pretty good evening. She finally knows us and remembers us. We haven't been able to see her as much as we would have liked. That is changing.
Our air conditioning went out yesterday, hopefully that will all be covered, we’ll see. Someone is in tomorrow to look at it.
We seem to have come to an end to the mounting medical bills. Now we just have to pay them off. That’s the hard part. It's a lot of money.
Lizzie’s job just got weird. There is a power mongering manager who cannot deal with the idea that more work gets done when most folks are at home so they are insisting that people be in the office more. They cannot accept that the whole working world has changed. This will do odd things to both of our schedules. Fortunately my boss is cool with it.
My job continues to be boring and tenuous. I still have a job, hopefully will for the next two years, at which point I can retire. But they are doing cuts through the company again. If I lose this job we could be in a bit of trouble.
I want to get the synth project really moving. One song is written, but there hasn't been time to relearn the music and get it recorded. I have lots of fragments for the rest of the songs.
Cheshire Moon is stirring quietly. We're trying to get going again, but it's a struggle. We have one show ahead of us, ICON in Cedar Rapids in October. If we had more shows, we would be more motivated, but we can't afford cons. ICON will be a little easier, it's relatively local. We haven't been to a Chicago con in quite a few years. I think we have put out 2 full length CDs and one of the EPs since we were there last. We want to get back on stage. There is a local place that is promising, but neither of us can get up the energy to contact them. If anyone wants to host a house concert that is in a 6 hour drive for us ...
So that is the update. Things move along, some good some bad.
