General all-purpose post...
So. I'm just going to make a quick post that isn't friends-locked, because I really do have a life that's not connected to my...um...strange obsession. So to catch up on everything else:
Work: Very boring of late. I work on the same set of projects every day and feel like a hamster in a wheel. At least there's the occasional levity in my cubicle area. We ARE getting a new electronic health record that will "go live" in a couple of weeks, and I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but at least the challenge will make things interesting for awhile.
Music: Mostly positive. I do tend to play with the same group of people pretty consistently. We're not the "cool crowd" on the local scene, but that's okay albeit a little dull at times. Even though the "cool crowd" is more my age than these (older) folks are, I don't really connect with them that well and I find them a little intimidating. The folks I play with, well, there's one couple who I play VERY well with. Unfortunately, when they can't make it to the usual jam sessions, things are decidedly lackluster. That happened a couple of times in the past week, although last night I finally got to play with them some. By then, though, I was tired from a long day/evening and was distracted and so were they, so not much music was involved. There's always next time.
Family: I got to spend some time with a cousin from New York yesterday, as she was visiting my mom for the weekend. My sister and her family are coming to the East Coast for a couple of weeks starting this Thursday, and we'll get to spend some time together, although not a lot, as Mom and the in-laws will be taking up the bulk of their time, along with a side trip to a wedding up North. It'll be nice to see them, though.
Other Stuff: I continue to NOT meet any new men, let alone any who are interesting and available, and that's pretty discouraging to me, seeing as how I've been getting out and socializing for six months now. :(
