sniffle sniffle

woke up yesterday morning with a head cold ...reminds me I'm alive in a way...feeling my body react physically to things. It was funny every student I taught last night (music) had a cold. I keep telling myself "YOUR HEALTHY! YOUR HEALTHY!" hopefully that will help :) Lots of teas and oregano and echanacia!

Took the week off of the studio to get this sorted out! I spent the better part of the morning re-learning the drivers ed manual haha Whilst I was in L.A. my g2 expired...god help me. So now I must re memorize the " how many meters behind a school bus do you stop?" questions. It's kind of funny I feel like I'm 16 again in the sweaty classroom at Pickering College, hungry, listening to the buzz of the cieling fan more than my instructor.

I listened to some Ray Lamontagne this afternoon while outside on the porch. It's a stunning day out today, I love the fall. Everything seems to lift and breathe.

All my equipment is in the studio so I sat at my upright and played some songs I've been writing, you know when you get so blocked from an idea that you can't seem to get past it? That's where I'm at with this stuff....breathe....exhale I tell myself. I think I'm going to read a book today. It seems like the perfect day to delve into some old parchment and let my imagination and mind wander in this september air.

I hope you are all having a great day
