Today is back to guitar in the am, working through some practice, and something new. First, some blues, which didn’t go well. Stretching to play blues in C is tough. Next, fingerpicking a new song, “Wherever You Will Go”, a song by the Calling. I vaguely remember it, but it’s nice to play acoustically.

Self care today, hitting the gym for a swim and a massage. I might do these things while at work, but I’d plan on working early/late, and wouldn’t do them on a practice day.

Then it was back home for more barn chores. I replaced another light in the barn and helped my wife get a few things done. Slowly, we’re repairing things. I measured out a feeder as well, which is something I’ll cut wood for and repair when it’s warmer.

It’s about 20F today (-5C), so more time inside, trying to stay warm and clean up a bit. A slow day, with volleyball practice tonight, but that’s the good thing about a sabbatical. I don’t need fill up every day with lots of stuff.

Slowly I’m coming to terms with not quite getting as much done as I’d like, but I am getting things done, and staying off the computer. Refreshing and good, even though I am starting to look forward to getting back to work.
