play a live gig
the Giant Jam Band 3 days ago

or, as one attendee described us, “a musical cacophony”
we are (sometimes) comprised of a singer/guitarist, keyboards, a trumpet, a french horn, a flute, harmonica, and a ukulele (that’d be me).
It’s the brainchild of my friend Chris (the guitarist). There are usually minimal rehearsals before performing. It adds to the ramshackle appeal.

come off my medication (read all 2 entries…)
it begins. 4 days ago

It’s been over 2 years since I added this goal to my list, and I’ve finally taken the first step. I’ve been on psychiatric meds of various kinds since I was 15, and on this current one, Efexor, for 5 and a half years. It’s been a total lifesaver, and I don’t think I could have gotten to where I am now (university, balance, future planning) without its help.
So thanks, Efexor, I think it’s time to go. My GP is starting me on a gentle reduction programme – I’m now on 75% of what I have been on for the last 18 months. Baby steps…

spend a Winter somewhere properly cold
Untitled 6 days ago

The UK might be rainy, but it doesn’t do extreme winters. People say I must be used to the cold having lived in Canada, but no: I lived on Vancouver Island, where we didn’t have “proper” cold winters either. I’d like to travel somewhere where it’s -20 sometime, just to see how I cope!
