Yay Holiday Weekend Approacheth

...though I'm not sure how much valuable and treasured "down time" I'll actually have... gotta hit the ground running beginning in the A.M.! Fortunately I have the day off from Job #1 at least, but the day will be well-spent. 1st we gwine to pick up my stepdad's pickup truck so we can 1. Use it to transport my new mattress I'm buying and 2. Borrow it 'til about Tues. as Jonn's car will be at the body shop's til about Tues-Weds and we've been trying to make do w/just my car and it's a little unwieldy, what with all my jobs and such.

Then Jon and I have a 2pm appt for our Houston oral history project interviews. (Yes, Enor is in charge and she has decided to focus on local blues musicians. I first declined her request for an interview but the more time went on and I saw who she was interviewing [or more likely, wasn't interviewing, as it was male-instrumentalist heavy and female-singer heavy] I decided to accept so that there would be an interview from a female instrumentalist perspective.) After which I will go to Job #2 and Jon will go to his gig up north and that night, I will head home and REST. And READ. And RELAX!

Because Sat. morn I gotta get my buns up to the sheriff academy for a damn class, but just 9-noon thank the gods. The rest of the day could actually be free! Meaning, Jon and I don't have anything on the agenda for once! Sunday however we do have a possible pool party at his partner Rich's house. I'd like to go, but Jon will decide which is fine w/me. Monday yet again we have "nothing" on the agenda, but I'd love to go to the shooting range.

Last night's gig was ok. I sang 2 songs and my drummer pal Nick showed up w/a present for me: cool sunglasses! I wore them while I played my set. Later this legend showed up w/his band just to hang out and I was tickled to get to meet him and he complimented me on my bass playing... aww! Tonight we may head back to the Big Easy for the monthly blues society jam, but just to deliver some of those deviled eggs and to see the opener band, whom we both love.
