Good grief! OK, it's been busy, but I really could have found time to post some "done yesterday"s before I accumulated nearly a week's worth! Sorry about that.
During the course of the week I managed to acquire a new microphone (the Rode NT1A I saw last Saturday at Guitar Showcase, ordered from Musician's Friend), some StringSwing guitar holders (one that clamps onto a music stand, and one that screws onto a rack), and a couple of full-spectrum floor lamps. I also managed to misdirect a couple of packages, and to intercept one of them in time to get it where it was going. And to prove myself a careless hacker for assuming that I'd proofread them ages ago when I first made the cut-and-paste error.
I figured out that my depression seems to be heavily light-dependent -- I'm down on cloudy days and dark mornings. Hence the full-spectrum lamps.
I had a lot of trouble with nasal congestion, but appear to have gotten a reasonable amount of sleep. Not that I particularly like going to bed that early. I am very grumpy at my body.
I did some singing, and experimented with click tracks, but no recording. I feel that I got very little actually done, either at work or at home. I think I probably did, it just wasn't what I'd written down as needing doing. Again, it is to grump at.
I accumulated a huge number of links -- go look under the cut.
... and with that the Bear trundles off to bed.
