Busy, Busy, Busy

Lotsa gigs, lots to keep me busy. It's a good thing, even if my sleep is suffering. I also worked Greek Fest last night, 4-11pm. Was a pretty sedate shift, more than usual actually, and I ate my usual fave Greek Plate AND had some of that killer Greek ice cream w/crushed baklava on top!

Leo, George and I had a quick rehearsal today at 11, then I had to come do the 1/2 shift at Job #1 from 1-5. We play a private party tonight that should be fun since we're getting paid and we get all the food/drink we can keep down. Love these kindsa gigs.

Meanwhile I am busy gigging with Paul, of course we have our regular Tues and Weds night gigs. Last Tues was legendary as him, me and Chopper ended up drinking in the bar til like 6am, then we had to go upstairs to the bar owner's little apt area and we CRASHED. It was so much freakin' fun and I am definitely putting in my time bonding w/my new bandmates! Oh lawd I got like 2 hrs sleep then had to rush off to work (keeping in mind that bar is also a good 40-min drive from my house) and then we played that Weds night of course. Owwwww....

But I'm having fun, I hafta admit, though my program work is taking a back seat to all of this and I have had some slips here and there on some bottom lines that I'm NOT proud of. Sigh. Well, it took me over 30 yrs to become a sex and love addict so it's gonna take me some time to get it under control. The sex addict part is actually the easy part--it's like alcoholism or drug addiction, you just DON'T FREAKIN' DO IT. Very easily defined. It's my love addiction that is slippery, also my addiction to affection/attention, especially from men. That's where I keep slipping although I am proud that I am able to catch myself in the act of slipping. The awareness thing is most of the battle, truly.

Praying a lot these days, usually at lunchtime every day. Mostly for Leo. He starts chemo tomorrow. His CaringBridge site is here.
