Woke up at 2:30 getting hit. First time in a year and a half. And the day before we head out to the CB conference.

Never got above a K4, and aborted with an energy drink and O2 within 5 minutes. Couldn't get back to sleep, though. Got a lot of work done so I can most likely leave the office early.

But DANG! I had almost forgotten how much this can suck.

Almost.

Yeah, I know what to do. I'm just not sure I'm going to have the time before we leave for the Windy City.

Maybe after I get there....

I think I know what may have triggered this, too. I auditioned for two bands about 3-4 weeks ago. One of them called me back right away to tell me I got the job. The other one - the one I was really looking forward to - called me back this past Sunday to tell me that I was one of two finalists out of 24 who applied. Went for a 2nd audition Tuesday night and got the gig. Now I have two gigs. Three weeks ago I had none.

I may well be able to pull off playing in both outfits because the first one has been billed as a side project, meaning the others in the band don't have a lot of time for it either.

But I've been looking at how these situations have been affecting me, and it's pretty clear: the stress level just dropped significantly over the past 48 hours.

I have a boatload of new material to learn by Oct. 8. Time to up the self-imposed stress level a notch or two, I guess.

Almost.

Reminders of its pain are also reminders of how appreciative it is to have attained the knowledge of another very important successful accomplishment, the ability to put your foot down.

Have a great convention, Brew.

Little update:

Just returned home from the 2011 Clusterbuster conference in Chicago. Shadowed more heavily than usual, but did not get hit. Used the free O₂ (thank you, LifeGas) to chase away the shadows for about 5 min. last night, but energy drinks worked pretty well the rest of the time.

So, I haven't been hit since the Brewers swept the Reds this weekend.

Potter is a fookin' genius.
