The Munsters, 1964

I've never been really great at being alone.
I like to think I could live alone, I fought for it at one point because my mother never lived alone and thought it taught you things you could not learn otherwise. But, I have found as I get older I don't really like even being alone very much. My imagination is far too overactive....

The building has creaked, audibly, much more regularly lately. It makes me paranoid about all the earthquake prep I've been too lazy to work on and I can't help picture myself trying to find a safe spot in this overfilled apartment with an anxious ancient cat while all the glass stuff hits the floor...    

"Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town."
~Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

So....I didn't realize there was no video linked to last weeks Saturday Happy Song...Sorry about that.
Poor little neglected blog.

I got sick again last Sunday, the 12th, and have been sick since. The 13th I only came into work for 2 hours, I called out the 14th, I slept 12-16 hours each of those days and drank tons of water, am taking double the dose recommended of vitamins...I still feel like crap. I don't know what's wrong with me at this point, but I'm dragging myself through life. Still doing all the things, just not at full tempo.

We had a wonderful weekend anyway. Steve played at Universal Bar and Grill Friday night, we had a band hang-out at a mansion on the beach in Dana Point all day Saturday, he played a fancy bar in Hollywood Sunday night...It was hotter than hell all weekend, but we still did stuff and had fun.

Record heat yesterday. It's a little better today...I'm just, worn out. So much stuff to work on and always feel like crap. So, I have kinda neglected this space because I have nothing to do but complain I guess. I haven't journaled either, I think I got a little burned out on the constant self expression and am in an internal phase. Which might not be helping the not feeling well part, I need to get feelings out and process them into something, but I don't feel like doing that either. I was all gun-ho about the spring cleaning, but was sick so often that not as much got done that I wanted.

So, I guess I just keep going. One foot in front of the other. Keep cleaning, processing, working, resting, creating, expressing, going.

Never, never, never give up.

Here's that video for ya:

I've always been "too much" or "never enough". At the point I care about the work I make because that's what actually lasts & matters
