I had to reschedule my guitar lesson last night for I? Was still in Westlock at 5:30, my guitar was at home, I smelled like the ass end of a chicken and was not prepared for a lesson.
My teacher, being a reasonable soul, allowed me to come tonight. I am learning that old standard called The Rose. Can't tell you how much I actually hate that song. I was at a thing on saturday night and so help me, someone sang that song.
Gaah.
That being said, it is a useful exercise to make my fingers play that stupid song on the guitar. I suck at it, so I wandered over to my piano and played it there just to feel better about myself. For I? Don't need music to play that stupid song. On the piano.
Hell, don't need it on the guitar either. Just kinda need to know what chords I should be playing. This is exciting because that means I'm figuring this whole guitar thing out. Even if my fingers are basically stupid.
At the guitar.

I am exhausted. It's just before 10pm and I've been thinking about going to bed for the last 30 minutes.
I had a conversation with a friend this morning that basically went like this,
Me: 'I am burnt out. You are burnt out.'
Friend: 'Similar prose about burning and being out. Done. Exhausted.'
Me: 'Agreed.'
Friend: 'Let us never do this again.'
Me: 'Agreed.'
So since I am burnt out, and I recharge best when I am somewhere other than here, I changed my flight from Friday morning to Thursday night. It did not change my car rental charge and now I need only add an extra night of hotel to my bill (found a cheapie best western with good reviews). Yay!

I saw someone I hadn't seen for a while this afternoon. Usual chitchat followed of the 'so, what's new' variety. I mentioned heading off to Vancouver this weekend. Was quite expectedly asked why. For a football game, of course.
'That's it?'
That's it. What better reason to travel? I've seen the country almost from end to end (how I wish I'd helicoptered or similar over to Newfoundland last year) mostly due to football. I'll do some hiking while I'm out west. Probably find a geocache or 12 while I am travelling.
We'll see if I come back happier or more tired than ever.
I'm hoping for happier. I need happier for I? Am burnt out.
