I am sitting in my living room, listening to the wind gust around 40 mph. The clouds are dark gray and racing by. We’re under a tornado watch til later this evening. The sustained winds on the frontal lines are 70 – 80 mph. I’m not terribly concerned about it, but I did bring my deck furniture into the house. They closed down the Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay.

I went to a play this afternoon that a friend was in. I made arrangements with my male friend from open mic night to meet there. The play was Parfumerie, and it was pretty funny! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The friend who was in the play was so happy to see us there after the show was over.

This morning I went downtown to buy the ticket to the play because it was $2 cheaper if I bought it ahead at a store down there. Then I stopped next door at an outdoor cafe where my friend the keyboard player was playing for brunch. He said he’s coming to open mic this week. Wanted to know if he’d be intruding. I said, nooooo, lots of the people I sit with perform, they would be happy to meet another musician. I still don’t know if he’s married or not, but I guess I’ll find out. We’re friends, anyway. Happy to have friends.

One of my best friends from up north is tentatively planning to come down around St. Patty’s day. Very excited about that! It will be so much fun to have her here!!! And my younger sister is coming on Feb. 7, for a week. So excited to have people here! LOL!! I’m gonna try to get my son down here end of March for a few days.

So, busy day, busy week coming up. Busy and no stress, lol. Once we get through the next 4 or 5 hours of tornado watches.

Love and light, all.
