> I know what you mean. I have a constant race going on in my head and it's so hard to get it to just stop. I sit there and try to imagine a blank wall or something but then I just end up imagining something on it or painting on it or something else to start the race again. I fight trying to take a nap during the day because I know that I DEFINITELY won't sleep much that night. I constantly toss and turn anyway and I almost ALWAYS remember every single time I turn over. If I don't remember turning over, it's most likely that I haven't moved and I will be very very sore the next morning. It's like, if I sleep well I don't move and I am so stiff I can barely move the next morning because of my fibro mialgia and if I don't sleep well, well...I toss and turn all night but at least I am not as sore in the morning because I haven't been in one position all night. I need to get back to the chiropractor but it costs $$$. On a good note my band is making a demo and after more than a MONTH of mixing the instrumental parts..JEEZ MON! I get to go back in and do my vocals next Tuesday night. I'm excited! I've made a demo before but it was only with a track, not with my own band and with live instruments. If you ask me it's taken them way too long to mix it correctly. It's been more than a month. Kat I know you would know about that. Welp enough from me now..I guess I'll see how the 125mg goes!
Oh Bridgey!!!!!!!!!! No wonder your mind is racing right now... or better put, at least there is a reason for it at the moment...
this is great news... I can hardly wait to hear that the demo is finished and how it is received...
and then I hope I get to hear the real thing...
this is great news...my favourite accompanist and I are putting together a cd... well we are organising two lineups... one is a Christmas one of medieval Christmas stuff... then we get lost on other French Christmas and Gaelic Christmas music we find it hard to resist...
there is this problem about saying no... is that a Topomax thing or an F-7 thing I wonder?????and the other is early music... again older and lesser known Celtic music, laments for the most part not the popular and commonly known stuff but the music I grew up with and love so dearly.. mostly in the minor keys and really powerful for all that... a couple of funeral boat songs that are incredible...
then we get hung up on torch songs that we have lately discovered we really like playing ... a new venture for a dramatic soprano LOL...
so we will be cutting the CD once we decide for sure what we want to do...
I think THAT is definitely an F-7 problem.LOL...
but it is another of those things that spins in my mind late at night as I try not to toss or turn because that keeps the husband-person from sleeping... and he worries... he has lost so much sleep and weight as it is worrying about me that it is really unfair to add to it...
some nights I simply get up and come in here and write for a while... seems to make sense to stop beating myself to death over not being able to sleep...
other nights I go downstairs and go through music trying to cut the list down to something manageable...
we are using two instruments and voice...
accoustic guitar and piano... concert grand on some and good old upright on others...
all we have to do is decide what the definitive choices are...but the music is such a saving grace, isn't it...
we are fortunate, you and I...
keep me posted... I am waiting anxiously to hear how it goes... and to know what happens after the cd is cut...
I know that you are going to blow them away... it is a redhead thing, after all....
