Teaching lessons at Music Makers.

 

Leftover Pasta with Kale.

Watching News of the World (2021).

 

Finally getting around to organizing all the photos from the last MMLIVE show and composing the official recap email. It’s a lot of work cause I have to upload select photos to the website and make sure all the links are good.

 

Meanwhile, doing laundry and chores.

Teaching lessons at Music Makers.

 

Home. Ana brought home Fish Tacos with Chips, Guac, and Salsa from Gringo’s.

 

Meeting back up at the studio with Reid and Rebecca to go through the Broadway show’s sound and light cues – there are many.

 

Back home. Ana starts to give me a very hard time about everything in the relationship. She holds a lot of resentment and lacks trust in me – this takes a great toll on our happiness with each other. I’m just at my wit’s end. The clock ticks late into the morning and I just wanna get to bed.

Afterwards, there’s so much going on at the end of the day – Modern Day Warrior is practicing in the wait room – Ana and Jordan are practicing at the 104 space next door – I’m trying to meet with Carol to discuss ad and ticket sales – lessons are finishing up – it’s hectic.

 

Back home. Warming up dinner.

 

Later on, at the studio recording this radio announcer track for the Broadway show using an old radio.

Waking up around noon.

 

Oatmeal with Cinnamon, Blueberries, and Almond Milk. English Breakfast Tea.

 

At the ELO warehouse for Broadway rehearsal. Reid isn’t here today and I’m in charge of sound and running all the music/sound cues. The cast is running the whole show as a dress rehearsal. It’s a bit hectic but I’d say a successful run-through. Bianca sits nearby getting an idea for the show – we’re still in need of many stagehands.

...

PB&J and Coffee somewhere in there.

 

Cleaning up all the props and gear and then home.

 

Ana cooked dinner: Lentils with Veggies and Quinoa. Then, a Cupcake.

 

Later on, unloading some gear and tweaking the mic rack.

 

Green Tea.

Ana and I drive out to Norfolk to watch The French Dispatch (2021), the new Wes Anderson flick, at The Naro. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a movie in the theater. But we absolutely enjoyed it.

 

Back home. Ana finished up the cake she baked for her mom while I catch up on things.

 

The night doesn’t end without a distressing conversation between her and I.

Holing up in my room trying to get a handle on my illness. Taking notes on the footage Bobby and I edited last night. Catching up on business. Trying to stay hydrated.
