learn guitar
soon 5 months ago

My sister gave me this awesome guitar when I got married, and it has just lain dormant for so many years. I am determined to learn how to play the damn thing.

I got myself a chord poster (again, many years ago), which I finally hung on the wall next to where I keep the guitar. I keep hoping that mere proximity will make a difference.

I need a practice plan, a schedule. Maybe if I work out exactly which scales, chord changes, etcetera, that I need to do for a lesson, I’d find a little more motivation.

We’ll see…



get in shape (read all 2 entries…)
progress 5 months ago

I’ve done really well lately. I’ve walked all the way home the last three days that I’ve worked.

Since I’ve been walking farther and farther each day, it has occurred to me that walking to and from work is really the best part of my day. I listen to my music, work off the stress from my crappy job, and while away the time happily ensconced in my own imaginary little world.

What I need to remember to do now is stretch more often. I need to stretch in the morning and before going to bed. And perhaps I should invest in some glucosamine. I hate getting old…



eat healthier
convenience 5 months ago

The trick for me is convenience. If it’s a choice between something healthy that I have to cook and something junky that’s readymade, I’m going to choose the junk food. No good.

I’ve been trying cook in quantity on my days off so that I have food already prepared that I can take to work. Of course, being poor, that’s become difficult of late.

Which is just fuel for the fire to get thing #1 accomplished.
