Good gigs this weekend. Friday I got to play with my original group (the one with my married, sexy violinist gf, and my best friend), which is rare these days since my solo music project prohibits me from doing almost any other gigs. It is great to be this busy, but I miss my old group. We got to laugh, drink bourbon during the gig, and catch up on life. It was a chilly, rural setting, and we got to play right next to a nice, portable fire pit for the cocktail hour. Got to ride with the gf, so it was like a mini road trip. Fun. Saturday's gig was quite a drive, and went relatively smoothly. I was contracted for 2 hours, but the ceremony started about 45 minutes late, so I had to play over an hour of prelude music when the average is about 25 minutes. It took about another 15 minutes for all the attendees to head into the cocktail area downstairs. The bride asked me to please go downstairs to play the cocktail hour, but there was no hour left, only about 25 minutes. I told her that it would make more sense for me to stay where I was, as they were doing pictures there, anyway. It takes me about 10 minutes to pack everything up, and about the same to set it all up again. So, by the time I got down there and set up for cocktails, they'd get maybe 5 minutes of music. She did not like that at all, and gave me the cold shoulder from then on. Mind you, she could have offer to pay the extra to have me stay, but she didn't do that. She just wanted it for free. Bride's are often insane, so I'm kinda used to thier irrational behavior. Her father understood, and showed his appreciation with a fat tip. As long as she doesn't leave a negative review, I'm good.
I was SO worn out today, I took about 4 naps in the recliner. It was cold, grey, and raining all day, but so warm and comfortable inside. I felt like a prince - wake late and bake, coffee, watch a little UFC. Nap. Wake up and make breakfast, watch a judge show, smoke a bowl. Nap. Order grocery delivery from Jewel, put 'em away, eat snack and finish bowl. Nap. You get the idea. I'll be well rested to start the week...

Is your fatigue residual from Covid, do you think? Did your breathing and lung capacity return to normal?

My fatigue was from gigging consecutive days and getting old ;) My lung capacity had returned to normal, I had been cycling regularly before the accident in June. I'm sure I have little capacity now, as I haven't been able to do any cardio since the surgery in July. Hard to get your heart rate up limping around with a cane.

I disagree about the getting old. Surgery and recovery take a lot out of you and take a long time to recover from. Figure a year is about right for the surgery you had. You actually seem to be doing much better than the average person your age. Keep up the good work and be patient with yourself :hug:
