Speeding Bullet Pt. 2

Ok, where I left off???

April 16:
Jon and Rich played a gig w/the musicians from their CD at that faraway club again and I went, along w/some of our friends, and my mom and stepdad came out again! They LOVE Jon.

April 17:
Day-long special patrol initiative that Mudflap talked me into doing. Not too exciting. Seriously went on a "Alligator found on golf course pond" call and a "Loose cows on freeway feeder" call! Fortunately Jon was able to drop me off and pick me up since my district is on the way to Baytown and he went to spend the day w/his mom.

April 18:
Passover dinner w/Enor and some of our musician pals. I don't like the restaurant she picked so I had yummy Reisling.

April 20-21:
Gigs w/Jon. Served as his bassist for the Weds. jam at Big Easy and I sang 2 songs and I totally need to work on my confidence and strength b/c my insecurity came across. (BTW I had to sacrifice my ticket to see Bruce Hornsby that night at the House of Blues, sob! But I need the gig and the $ more.)
The Thurs. night gig was w/him and our harmonica frenemy, who I swore I'd never play with again after last summer--but again, I need the gig and the $ as I'm saving up for a 5-string bass.

April 22:
Earth Day and our pater familias' bday. I had the day off from work and Jon and I rode our bikes all over town! Went to the museum to see the Impressionist exhibit, then rode to dinner, then to our friends' gig near his house. Awesommmmmmmmme day!!!

April 23:
Gig again w/Jon and our harmonica frenemy, a private party. They had a bass-shaped cake and I was totally delighted! Fun times, and this time I sang 3 songs and tried to be strong and confident. Jon told me it was a lot better. After the gig Jon and I packed up and went to Baytown as we'd plans to spend Easter w/his mom and family.

Ugh, I am having a really Bad Process right now so will finish April later. The Process has been weirdly sporadic all year, as we all know, and now it seems to have come back permanently with a vengeance. I still want to go to the jam tonight and practice my singing and Phillipo and Enor said they'd meet me there. A couple drinks might help the pain, b/c the 600 mg. painkillers aren't lasting long.
