| It's hard to believe that it's already November 13th. It still feels like I just came back from North Carolina when in reality it's been nearly 2 months. Even crazier, 2 months is how long I actually LIVED in North Carolina. Unbelievable. Today is one of the last mild days here in Michigan before it's going to start getting really crazy cold. I'm not looking forward to that one bit. I am a bit excited today though because I'm waiting on a piece of music from a friend that she wrote. She is supposed to email it to me today so I can write something on the banjo to play along with it. I haven't written hardly anything of my own on the banjo yet so this is great. Plus, I finally took the time to correct the intonation on my banjo last night and holy crap, it's like a brand new instrument. It sounds way better, fretting strings up the neck actually sounds in tune, and I can now play faster for some reason, I think because the action is lower. I saved myself the money of taking it to a luthier because I was able to do this myself. I thought I would need a shorter bridge and something else done to get the action lower. It's perfect now though and I couldn't be happier to pick pick PICK! My youngest outdoor cat Link figured out how to climb the roof of our house and make his way to my second-floor window. He sees me right now and is just meowing because he wants to come in. We are always trying to teach the cats that they cannot just come in the house whenever they please so I'm trying to ignore him but he is so cute and it's incredibly hard. He is just laying down on the roof now outside of my window. I'm thinking about playing some DDR today to get some exercise. Since I haven't been working or had any jobs for the past two months, I haven't had any good physical activity and I have already gained a little bit of weight since I moved back. Anyway, I need to make myself a late lunch because I just woke up (in my defense, I went to bed at 5:00 AM, a regular thing for me) and I am starving. |
