Last night I had really bad insomnia. Not even my medication could put me to sleep. Sometimes that happens. No matter what I do, I can't fall asleep.
I quit trying at around 3:30 am. I was so bored that I actually looked up some of the gov't regulations that have changed. That made me mad. And, yes, I was looking at government websites, not just articles through facebook or other social media. But, that's not what this post is about.
Usually when I'm upset, I'll draw or play music. This morning I just went on Facebook and Netflix at the same time. I really wanted to play the violin, but my children's bedrooms are right next to my studio/office/woman cave. If I played music I would've woken them up. If I went to the other side of the house, I would've woken up my girlfriend. I could've drawn. But, I wasn't in the mood. I've learned that if I try to draw or paint while not in the mood to do so, it comes out like crap. Every. Single. Time.
Then, about 5 minutes ago, I realized that I could've played my electric violin without the amp. The sound isn't as good, but it's also quieter than a traditional violin. If I had played, I wouldn't have felt like I wasted most of the past 2 1/2 hrs. I have a busy day today, but I'm sure I'll find a way to play at some point. The next song I'm teaching myself is the theme for Star Wars. It's probably best if I play it at a normal volume so I hear the notes properly. That means a lot when you're just learning a new song.
Well, I guess I'll go back to Netflix and binge watch some shows for the next hour and then maybe clean the laundry room. lol
