Let's see, what to write.
This week is really starting to have an effect on me. Tuesday through Saturday rehearsals or gigs at least 40 miles away from home, having to deal with horrid rush hour Peninsula traffic up 101... But, it's almost over.
I love playing with this group, and I get to play principle on Stravinsky's Firebird with a top notch amateur orchestra, but it's just too far away. I guess I'm just content that all that traveling is to play, which in the end, makes it all worth it.
I've been running so hard the last week or so, heading into the shitty weeks of my hell-month-and-a-half, that I haven't been able to get much else done. Granted, I've managed to not miss any lessons, but I've been unable to get up before 10am, which is outrageously late for me. I'm usually up between 7 and 8. It's not so bad, because I don't really have teaching or practicing to do till after 2ish, but it just sucks that my day doesn't get started when it should, and then I feel tired and shitty all day. Plus, I don't have time to do Yoga, to work out, or to go out riding. Suck.
The other shitty thing I have noticed: Without having evenings off lately, I don't get to see friends. I haven't seen anyone outside of students and orchestra folk since last Friday, which for the life of me, I have no idea what I did. Not that I was so drunk I blacked out, I know I went for beers somewhere, but I just can't remember where or why. That's how fried my brain is. That and going down to Gilroy to chill with family about 2+ weeks ago, and that's it.
Once this is done, after Easter, my ass needs to get out. I need people. I don't care who, I just need to get out, have fun, and be entertaining/entertained. Period.
Boy, this one turned out a little depressing, didn't it? Don't worry, I'm actually really happy in general right now, I just miss certain things that I took for granted when I had some spare time.
I miss just hangin' with friends and not doing anything.
