Well as to my physical health, I am still here today (that&#8217;s about all I can say), but my mental health has been wonky for years. I feel I am drifting as I don&#8217;t seen to have too much drive to do stuff at present. Is it ageing. Yes, and no I guess. I have been producing a lot of music and I do get out to play live again a little, but I don&#8217;t feel like planning for the next big adventure so much anymore. Hopefully it&#8217;s just a passing phase. Autumn always has a whiff of things being over. This Autumn it seems even more intense somehow. I guess that is where my heads at now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-off-white-background-color has-background\">A few friends seem to be having troubles and uncertainty too. Perhaps it&#8217;s catching \ud83d\ude42 I am trying to figure out what to do if my car doesn&#8217;t pass its MOT. Is it time to get back to being a one car household? Not sure. It might work? Choices are hard at times. Just been for a dental check up and I am OK at present. I hate going to the dentists. I had a lot of work done as a child including a lot of extractions in one go with gas and its left me feeling anxious at the dentists all these years later.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7hMe3rLLO7eI5xUSGaDWjI?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I have arrived at here, but it&#8217;s not the place I expected it to be.
