A song like Dear Prudence has the same picking pattern and chords throughout the song, so I can manage to sing and play that one. St. Louis Blues is not too difficult for someone like Doc Watson to sing and play. I still can’t play it without making mistakes.
It takes me several weeks to come anywhere close to being able to play the songs in this course. They’re not songs I’ve always wanted to learn either. Lately, I’m asking why I’m spending all this time learning songs I wouldn’t normally choose to play. Hopefully, it’ll result in making it easier to learn songs I want to be able to play.
A long time ago, I ‘wrote’ a few songs or little bits of what could at some point become songs. The fact that I couldn’t play very well didn’t get in the way at all. I wonder why I stopped doing that and why I can’t seem to do that now.
Well, I think my unemployment claim finally got approved but the language they use is so confusing. If that money would just show up in my bank account I'd feel a whole lot better. I filed my weekly certification Monday but then it said there were issues with my claim. Then today I get something that seems to say I've been approved but it doesn't say when I can expect to see the $ or even how much I'm getting. Also I thought I was supposed to get paid retroactively from the date I lost my job. That doesn't seem to be the case. I don't even know exactly how much I'm getting.
Well, it should show up soon. I think. Kate B had to phone in about 50 times yesterday to clear things up. They were holding up her relief because she had received worker's comp earlier this year after breaking her leg at work.
ahhh, don't worry about me. I've got enough cash to make it til the money comes through. I guess I could stretch it more if I quit drinking but fuck that!
I'm glad I'm not much of a drinker. Alone and drinking would be depressing. If I didn't have this guitar stuff to work on, I'm pretty sure I'd start losing what little I have left of my mind.
That and exercise. My new exercise goal is to be able to knock out 50 push ups. I started last week. I do them every other night. Last week, I started with 30. Last night I did 31. It's something to do.
50?! Dang! I do 30 after my yoga routine. I don't know, 'cause I never tried but I can do, probably, 40 in a row, but I think I would be half dead and in pain after.

Trump makes novel suggestion to nation, some object
"At today's briefing, the president hinted and suggested that citizens could enter into the 'Shoombata Realm' with him by drinking a concoction he described as 'Jesus Juice' composed of arsenic and lemonade."
Well my unemployment claim has finally gone through although it has not appeared in bank account yet. Should be getting $866 a week. So I'm just gonna hunker down for the next three months and let that shit accumulate.

It really sucks that they don’t give you any idea when you’re going to get the money.
No stimulus for us yet. Not sure how they divided up direct deposit people from check people.
Only the best people, eh?
