I've been lax about posting here, but I decided I need to make effort for self-care, and making time to record it to ensure I'm taking that time for myself might inspire posts and comments and stuffs.

given all things, I suspect life is going to get interesting in the next couple days regardless of outcomes.  And that is part of why I want to make sure I'm taking care of myself and allowing myself time to do things that keep me feeling better.

Yesterday, I managed to get some organization done which always helps with my mental state.  I also played several broken up hours of Minecraft throughout the day.  That game is definitely my escape.  Always a project to do and a lot of it involves tasks that let me zone out.   So not a terrible start.

The music room equipment is still disheveled after doing the brief online stream for Ohio Valley Filk Festival with S and A, and since we're doing a socially distanced live stream this weekend with Ronnda Cadle, I'm hesitant to put everythinig back together only to pull it apart again for that.  But the plans will be to put that together after this weekend and then I'll have some music time.  Been contemplating some new learnings on keys and I'm looking forward to that.

I also picked up a full size Commodore 64 clone, and that should arrive in a week or two. I'm excited for that.  It isn't as good as the original, but it is a very worthy and acceptable substitution.  I have some games in mind that I will make some time to play.

My fall-planting bulbs arrived this week.  Lots of color for the spring and a few extras for fun.  The garden isn't quite ready for it, but weather pending, I'll be chipping away at that as well.  Always good for my head, and the general cooler weather will also be good for me.

Working against me this week will be the fact that I will be on-call, but I'm hopeful that it will be a quiet and productive week.  

Tonight, time to chill.



More to come!

Bulbs! Bulbs are awesome!

Is there a way to put the music room "at rest" so that it would be easy to set up and tear down?

Admittedly, I have a little experience as a band girlfriend, and I can't think of a way...

Not really. The best I can do is get additional "gig" equipment that would allow for the "room" equipment to stay in place. It's in the works. Time and $.

I'm really excited for the bulbs, but also a little overwhelmed with the work to get them going. Been hard to be motivated to do the hard work to prep the beds.. but I suspect I will find a day or two in the coming weeks to power through. Needs to get done.

C64 clone?

Does it come with a disc drive?

[glitch25]

Essentially it's an emulator but with dedicated hardware. They had a mini version out already, but the latest round includes a full size keyboard in what fully resembles a classic c64. No disk drive, but you can put disk images on thumb drive and use one of the available USB ports.

Do a google search for TheC64

Self care is good.

That’s it, I have officially run out of things to say.
