Wasn't 2005 like 10 years ago???
Jan. 1st, 2025 10:49 amSeriously, how is it 2025!?!??
Played a New Year's Eve show with the band and it was so fun! Of course I miss my Chicago band where we wanted to do almost all originals so I got to write music and lyrics and be creative but there's something to be said for being in a cover band now because that of course gets audiences more excited. It's great to feed off the crowd too. Also, boyfriend in the band (I think I get to officially call it that now :) ) said a friend of his was at the show who is a great songwriter and talked about wanting to collab with us if we're interested so maybe I will get to write songs again soon too! We'll see....I don't know how much free time I have after current band, aerial, and podcasting. Speaking of him, my family was teasing me at Christmas about it all saying "Oh no! You're dating a guy in your band? Are you Yoko Ono now??" But my brother came through for me and said "No! She's already IN the band. She's Stevie Nicks!" I like that comparison better :D
We had our last practice before the show on the 30th and when I came home that night I saw something got torn up and destroyed in my bedroom and I was just rolling my eyes like "OK Pico, what did you get into while I was gone?" Then my heart dropped to the floor when I saw it was the wrapper to this fancy chocolate bar (my brother had put one in everyone's Christmas gift and I forgot it was even in the bag I set on the floor) He didn't eat a LOT of it but it was dark chocolate so I was pretty worried. And I was getting home late at night so it would be hard to find a vet that was open so I just looked up a bunch about what to look for and watched him. He was totally fine that night and the next morning but then I had a friend watch him overnight last night while I was playing the show and she said he puked in her bed twice. Hopefully that means he got all the bad stuff out. He was still happy and high energy when I picked him up this morning but of course he's almost 11 now and has developed some fairly major heart issues so I worry. I'm not ready to say good-bye to this little guy yet! He needs to stay with me for at least another year or two.
Also: This should be no surprise but reminded this morning....I can't drink like I did when I was 25 anymore :P Kinda hurting today and I do NOT want to go to work tomorrow. At least I only have to get through two days, though after a full week off I expect it to be busy...
