So after all the eye surgery adventures last winter, I fell six months behind on everything, and then summer was filled with surprise extra tasks and work that aren’t related to music… or, really, fun… at all. But I had a lot of catching up to do, and it needed to happen.<\/p>\n
And I finally have been<\/em>. I haven’t been around the last few days in no small part because I have finally<\/em> beaten down my to-do list to items that were on it before<\/eM> GeekGirlCon 2013 (the weekend my right eye went lol no) and all of those adventures. I diagnosed the roomba’s problem and repair parts are on the way. The minor ceiling repairs (cosmetic, really) upstairs that I started right before all that? Finished. The small mountain of weird credit union rewards points I apparently had? Sorted and spent! And so on.<\/p>\n Not to mention the album, of course. I just dropped Release Candidate 1 for another track. o\/<\/p>\n The downside of all that kind of catch-up work is that I’m really kind of out of performance shape, and I need to start working on that<\/em> now. Studio shape – that, I’m in. But that’s very different to performance<\/eM> shape.<\/p>\n I guess it’s a little like the difference between being trained for sprinting and trained for a marathon. Right now, I’ve been in studio a couple of months, I’m real<\/eM> good at short bursts, because that’s what you need, and you need to be your best<\/em> at it. But that’s tiring. Live, you also need to be at your best, but in a different way that doesn’t crash your stamina. And I need to switch back to that.<\/p>\n Plus, I need to be booking events. I mean damn<\/em>. But it’s about time to be thinking about spring anyway, so at least, this time, I’m not late.<\/p>\n But yeah. Catching up, one task at a time, and far enough along that old<\/em> things are coming off the stack. I’m tired, but it’s the good kind of tired, and now, the decks are almost clear, and we can be moving forward<\/em> again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So after all the eye surgery adventures last winter, I fell six months behind on everything, and then summer was filled with surprise extra tasks and work that aren’t related to music… or, really, fun… at all.
