Sunday night, I got 4.5 hrs of bed-time (notice I didn't say sleep), Monday night, I got 6, last night, I got 5.5... I'm really struggling to keep alert today, but at least I have my old faithful friends by my side - Diet Dew & coffee! If you mix a little hot chocolate with your coffee, you get a poor-man's cappuccino! YaY! 0.o
Sunday night, I was having a rough night - went out to karaoke, but didn't feel up to singing, so just had a few drinks. Got home around 2:30-2:45a, checked my email & such, & got to bed sometime after 3a. (my alarm goes off at 7:30a, but I hit snooze for 30 min.) Monday night, I was beat, but I started reading a new book, and it was so good I couldn't put it down. When next I looked up, it was 1:30a, so I went to bed. Last night, I had a surprise opportunity to practice with the guys, so I went for a run, cleaned up, & headed over. Practice went late, I got home around 1a, and checked my mail & such again, had a little to eat and went to bed around 1:30a.
Could. Not. Sleep.
Got frustrated and got up around 2:45 & took a sleeping pill. Hit snooze this morning for 45 min. & got to work late. I really need to find a way to consistently get enough sleep, and by enough, I don't mean 4-7 hrs, but 7.5 - 8.5 hrs. Obviously, my practice night during the week will be a light sleep day, but if the rest of the week is ok, it shouldn't matter. I really think a lack of sleep is my biggest issue health-wise, mentally and physically.
On the plus side, practice went well. I'm getting a better feel for the songs, and even though I made a few mistakes last night, (I couldn't practice this week at home because I was having trouble with my rig) we spent some time going over them, rather than pushing ahead with the rest of the playlist. I think it helped a lot. They're actually trying to get me singing some backing harmony parts as well, which will be sweet if I can learn to both play & sing at the same time.
Oh, yeah... I mentioned the whole "2nd audition" incident to my boss, who's also a bass player - he said it sounds like the guys just didn't want to tell me to my face that they weren't interested, so they just basically avoided my phone calls. I can see that, especially considering I still haven't heard from them. I'm chalking it up to a good, new experience, one that may help me in the future, should I choose to try out for another group sometime. New experiences are cool, it's what keeps life interesting!
Gotta run, hope all's well with you today!
