auntiemeeshI had all sorts of plans for things I was going to do today. At least a few of them involved leaving the house and not being the laziest person on earth. Guess how well that's going?
To be fair, I am doing laundry and that's easier to do on Saturday because on Sunday, Land Lady keeps the screen door locked until late afternoon if she opens it at all, and by then I've lost all interest in the requisite going in and out and running up and down that is required to do laundry. I also tidied up a bit last night and I may do a bit more today. The apartment is in desperate need, but I'm in lazy mode, so I don't know how much will get done.
I broke out the Rock Band and set myself up to go on tour. The tour is going quite well, but I've been playing on easy so there would be absolutely no excuse for things to not be going well. Feeling a little pathetic, I went back out to Quick Play to practice the songs at medium, and learned that my fingers have all the speed and flexibility of sticks. And my ring finger locks up if I hold it down for too long, so long strings of notes cause me to become unable to let up afterwards. And when there are lots of notes played simultaneously, I start getting confused and can't figure out which fingers are supposed to be doing what when. Looks like I've got plenty of excuses to spend lots of time this weekend practicing. *g*
