A bit of anxiety triggered by catastrophizing and over thinking a few recent events I suspect. Life without meds mostly works except when it doesn&#8217;t. Perhaps I am just too internalised now. I do feel a little bit absent at the moment. I don&#8217;t have enough of the outside world to rub up against on a regular basis now. My music rehearsal work out was not much impinged on by aches and pains which was a relief. The more active I am the less severe or disabling the pains are but most of my activities&#8217; are not that physical so a period like Christmas with a disrupted routine dose have an effect.One of our trio gigs got cancelled in January. No entertainment budget for that month. Bum&#8230;.. Rude words and stuff.  But they may rebook in February.  I do have to reboot basically. Ironically due to our plumbing issues and stuff we have had a string of random folks in the flat for the last week or so. I shall have to resume my search for a local guitar player again so I can get out a bit more with the violin\/fiddle think. It can&#8217;t be impossible. The old guys are a bit risky though as they just think I am a friendly old girl with a deep voice. I did think I could do lounge piano type stuff, but I can&#8217;t take a proper digital piano out now. Too heavy to lift and it wont fit in the car. Its funny but when I do feel a bit low, I often think through what I could try doing that I am not already. The reality is not there is not much that I haven&#8217;t already tried it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/2000132615&#038;color=%238c8cc8&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=true&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/still-the-same-dream\" title=\"Still The Same Dream\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Still The Same Dream<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much else to say today really.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A slightly shaky start to the year for me to be honest.
