World looks much better after a respectable amount of sleep  6:40 hours of sleep in bed not counting 2 hours dozing in chair after I got home from being a very feel fed and well conversed zombie with K and I Onward now to stuff I would LOVE to keep procrastinating about.

Sleep? Who needs sleep?

  How the world looks at 5 am +/- including whatever the phone does automatically The moon was full. So was the YouTube. So no sleep in bed and instead wash hair, doze in chair, Go to memorial. Make it through whole service without bawling about my own mother. Not sleeping is REALLY bad for arthritis and ease of getting around. SIGH. But it was a gorgeous sunny day and a good day to go see friends in Lynnwood. I may have been a zombie, but I was a sunbathed zombie Posted with a retroactive date.

This week in mocking the President

 Some mockery is cringe. The Lego videos are SUCH a guilty pleasure 5:00 hours of sleep. A fair bit of tinkering at home but SO MUCH MORE to keep at.

 No idea in what order I will post these, but this is the last string bass piece I plan to grab for now. 6:02 hours of blessed sleep. I gave myself permission to miss an in-person meeting if sleep took precedence and what do you know? Exercise bike seems to matter about sleep even if it seems late enough that the energy level might keep me up. Let's SEE if I can get to a more standard sleep schedule. 

Love me tender like no one else has previously imagined

 Another one performer records two tracks items from before the pandemic even 6:22 blessed hours of sleep. Maybe too much exercise bike while getting YouTube fix because I woke up sore. But not enough sleep to get fully motivated. SIGH

Sabre dance on string bass

Image
Another in my series of some kind of extreme musical performances. The piece is not usually played on string bass and involves finger work higher up in pitch and on the fingerboard than if it were performed on other instruments. Also, the energy level is a bit of a musical pep talk.  3:22 hours of sleep. More would definitely be better but I am glad I showered before bed. Thinking today of how to get rid of LOTS that is superfluous. Also I want a nap. Sigh. And no getting swallowed in YouTube current events...

Things maybe contrabassoons should not be asked to do: Star Wars theme

 This passes the "anything on contrabassoon...?" test 5:12 hours of sleep. Amazing how sleep gives me a lot of writing energy but still not housekeeping energy. Also, stationary bike instead of more whole body activity.
