Yesterday was my first day back at the computer. I’d been making notes on the computer, because, frankly, my arm was still too sore to write long hand. Yesterday my arm allowed me to finally start making some long hand notes without too much pain. Yea. But also, I finally made actually pages at the point that I left the Merry book. Today I woke with the scene still strongly in my mind and ready to go. Very cool.
I’ve divided my work day up between THORNLEY, and THREE DAYS GRACE, both I believe have only their debut albums. Thornley for morning, and Three Days Grace for later, it’s a touch harder, and I need something a wee more gentle first thing in the morning. The dogs are asleep around the office. Pip and Sasquatch on the big bed; Phouka under my desk; Jimmy on his bed in the corner. So good to be home.
I can say one thing about this tour, it’s made me appreciate a lot of things more. The workmen moving back and fourth outside my windows are not nearly the distraction they were before Jon and I went out across the country. We’ve worked out twice this week, and our trainer, Keith, says we were strong, good sessions. Every time the weights seemed too heavy, my arm hurt too much, I just thought, “I’m happy to be home.” How’s that for motivation. The weights helped my arm so much on this tour that we’ve talked to Keith about hitting them harder when we’re recovered just a wee bit more. He’s agreed. Like he’d ever disagree with us wanting to do more. Tour taught me that I will need to have some serious muscle development before I go out again. We’ll see how it goes.
It was good to see everyone. If Jon hasn’t already, he will be putting up our last blog from the road. The tour went great. I believe this week INCUBUS DREAMS is number 2 on the New York Times List. Very cool. It was all very cool, but it’s even cooler to be home again.
Trinity’s birthday party is tomorrow. Lots of little girls, cake, and the whole works. She won’t be officially ten until after the date of the party, but we rarely seem to have the party on the actual date. She’s so excited she can hardly stand it. Well, back to making pages.
