I guess my spinal injection on Friday. This pain is crippling
- Oh, they doing the cortisone shot thing?
  
  I think so? Some steroid thing, CT scan assisted.

Fall semester for piano lessons starts today. I've been bummed out lately, and learning gives me a place to direct my frustrated energy.
I've done a lot of independent learning in the 3 week break, such as playing with software synthesizers and learning some of the new scales a bit better and using them in improvisations.
We just started a book of scale modes before break, and my new song book is of Bartok, who explores many unique and discordant harmonies, so there will be a ton of new concepts for me coming up.

Tomorrow, when school finally starts again and all kids leave the house in the morning.

Pulled pork. Yesterday I smoked a 12 pound pork shoulder for 9 hours, and made tons of macaroni salad, so I’m set for meals this week!

I've got a new camping hammock that I want to go out and try out. With a bit of rain during the week the fire danger will drop because a little coze fire is awesome. Not sure how much it will drop but at least it will drop enough for the camping stove. I need my fresh coffee damn you.
And yes we have had a fire ban since last week. Probably lifted now after a good rainy day.

My mentor at work is back from a two week vacation. Looking forward to catching up with him and asking for training on some very specific tasks because I'm 99% certain he's going to announce his retirement before the end of the year.
Also, looking forward to the North London Derby this weekend (just watching, not attending). International football doesn't carry my interest at all, for some reason.

After a super busy friends wedding weekend. I'm just going to sit down and play some mass effect. Just to not do anything at all.

I may be signing the purchase agreement to own some property Friday. Though my excitement feels rather lackluster about it

The last CHUMP film, after more than twenty years across two different shows they are done.
It is sad, but all good things must come to an end.

Supposed to go to a party this weekend. Last time I went to one with this crowd, it was pretty okay and I made a new guy-i-text-sometimes-friend.
Though the time before that was really dull, so who knows.

The Dota Internationals are running all week with the finals starting Saturday, and its looking very interesting this year, including an unusually promising NA team.
