Well not too sure about today - I felt rather weird I must have been stressed because my heart rate while exercising on the stationary bike was way above where it should normally be which is a bit concerning but still managed 18.2k in 35 minutes so that was a positive.
I also had an one to one with my boss which I think also contributed to the stress. I really dislike this sort of thing -even though I am told I do well - still the person I need to convince is me not other people and this I find hard if not soul destroying. I think this self doubt is in part what leads to my problems with depression. I have to admit it did feel good to get a few things that have been nagging at me off my chest - maybe what I need to do is have more regular one to ones which would stop things building up to the point where I can't cope.
Band practice was good - the music seems clearer now I have the new contact lens in the left so hopefully there won't be as many accidentals in the wrong place from now on. Still think the 1812 is a bit of a bogey piece for us but we certainly have a better chance now of making a go of it.

Day one
Well day one of 2014 has not been too bad really although the dreary weather leaves a lot to be desired.
Finally decided to register my Itunes voucher that I got for Christmas. After a bit of thought had gone into it the first album I have bought is Jane Ira Bloom's new one "Sixteen Sunsets". Normally in the jazz world I prefer the sounds of Cannonball and Coltrane pretty much above anyone else, but JIB takes the soprano sax to places it does not normally go, so any new album has to be worth a listen it is downloading as we speak and should be good to go shortly.
I am not a great one for new year's resolutions so all I can say that I have resolved to do is try! Try to do all the things I normally do better and to try to be true to myself and try to be a bit better person all around. That is if the depressive moods that I am a bit prone to permit. Just have to try and maybe with a little bit of faith I will succeed.
Happy New Year
