I think putting a sign around my neck with this written on it would be easier.

Today is Thursday…the last day of the week when I have to rouse myself at the butt-crack of dawn to go to work. Not that I don’t like what I do….I really enjoy it. But I do not like getting up early. I hate being awakened by an alarm.

Just that word…”alarm”…puts my nerves on edge.

I have been struggling with an upper respiratory infection for the past going on 3 weeks. A “cold”.

But it was more than a cold…maybe it is because I am older and my immune system just doesn’t work the way it should. Maybe I should have had that flu shot that my Dr. suggested. Maybe, maybe, maybe….

Earlier this last week I lamented to myself that I didn’t remember what “normal” felt like. I have had so many chemicals swimming around inside of me. And they were all battling with one another to do whatever the hell it is that they are supposed to do.

One chemical was supposed to help me sleep, one was supposed to keep my fever down, one was supposed to help me fight the nastys in my system while I was trying to be a productive member of society…

Wait….have I EVER been a productive member of society? Guess that is a question for another day.

Any hooters….

The fact of the matter is….is that I am now on the mend and have the chance to continue to hone and hack at the “58 Items From 58”.

I have been infatuated with the music of Seal for years. I never felt that I had the right feel for his music to learn it. I have put my touch on one of his songs and am learning two more. So I have enough material now for 2 58 minute sets of continuous music…hell…what with “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, and “like a Rolling Stone”, along with “Tangled Up in Blues” I can stretch those out to a 58 minute set of their own…

So, what the hell are y’all up to? It is going to be in the 70’s with sunshine again this weekend on the Gulf Coast…..don’t hate me too much.
