After Ken coming by and my getting my pay check, I did things like cook some dinner and eat, get a batch of things ready to list on Ebay, and finished a load of laundry.
I also practiced, not for long, about 1/2 hour. From shakuhachi playing I learned that being relaxed is very important, and I'm finding that by relaxing I can get those high notes right out. There was also a thing on NPR about stuttering, and it make me think about how that might be a related thing, tensing up too much.
I was up too late to get to the bank but packed some things and took them to the post office then took Oakland Road all the way downtown where I got bubble mailers at the Amazon place and then rode down to Walmart.
It was gusty and while not really cold, not very pleasant out there. It's a reminder that it's not busking season yet. Busking season is basically April 1 to October 1. And there's December if one wants to play Xmas carols.
There were zombies *everywhere*. On bikes, off of bikes, drugged-out and sprawling all over the front of the 7-11 across from the Amazon place and at the fronts of the apartments along there. On the road, off the road, staggering out into the road, you name it.
I got down to Walmart and got more diet 7-Up and Coke Zero so I'd not have to worry about it on the weekend. And a few other things. I had *just* enough money and only had to take 15c out of my change bag. I even got 500ml of wine for tomorrow night.
I rode back to what used to be TAK Market and got a tall can of beer (about 600ml) to have with dinner. That used up the ton of nickels and dimes I had which is good.
