This post is NOT related to practicing whatsoever, except for this title, which is related to it only in the manner of being an opposite.

Earlier today I was a bit gassy.
It got me thinking .. what if I was gassy during my recital.
It would be embarrassing enough to fart in an audience, but at least people would generally ignore it; darkness and not generally knowing everyone around you causes people to just ignore things like that, but if a performer would let one rip - everyone would notice. And how would I react?
I suppose it would be worse to be a singer... then you have to make eye contact with everyone and they're looking straight at you. With piano, at least some people watch the piano or something and there's not that direct communication element.
Also, I would be sitting on a piano bench, so that could effect things too. If the bench were hollow maybe it would make the fart louder.
In conclusion, I think I will not eat gassy foods for the next few days... hmm please comment and inform me as to which foods make me gassy.
I've also been hiccupy lately. I wonder what causes that.. actually I know - the excessive amount of diet cokes I drink. Mmmm.
Swearing is pretty much at a high point right now, I won't say all time high, but ya, it's up there.

Today I ran out of insulin. I always have 2 insulin pens with me: one in bag, one in jacket pocket. I guess I used the one in my bag this morning and didn't put it back. I stopped to get supper on my way to work today and realized that I didn't have anymore as one pen was completely out and the other wasn't there. Oopsie. I tried to eat Atkins style, but I guess there was some carbs in the dressing and bacon bits of the salad I had for dinner. Nevertheless, the sugars were still in a comfortable-enough ish range going into my recital. I guess stress and whatnot got in the way cause by the time I got home, my sugars were a little bit up, but I took insulin to fix that right when I got home.
In general, diabetes control hasn't been so hot lately due to stress and even more random than normal eating and sleeping. As per usual, I have big plans for the summer - let's see if any of them actually work out:
1)lose a billion pounds
b)eat healthier
3)take dance classes
(this one I really really want to do, it's my last chance I think, the school I play at offers free classes to employees. I want to work for the summer dance programs during the day and then take the adult classes at night. What a fun way to get in shape. Also, it would give me a greater understanding of the relation of music to dance.)
Delta) brush up on my french by reading french books and watching french movies.
5)oh ya, importantly, I need to make lots of money for next year.

Ok, I need to stop typing. I hope you bitchy people who complain about my excessive posts about that topic I shan't speak of are satisfied with the diverse nature of topics examined in this post. As of Sunday, these posts should be more common!
