    My throat and eyes have been burning for a week.
    Allergy season plus days and days of howling wind.
    Sounds like a haunted house in our place.

    I have a bunch of things to make and write.
    None of it is happening due to arid brain conditions.
    Cactus are growing inside my skull.

    There was a weird amount of streetcar riding in my dream last night. Enough that I looked up "trolley" on a dream meaning website *.

    Looks like it means that I am open-minded, starting to take a new journey in life, and are taking little steps toward your goals and pacing yourself.

    Wonder where I am headed to?

    * For fun

    Scraps of paper are RAM and notebooks are ROM. I had a bunch of small notebooks that sat on a shelf unused for a couple years. I tore them up into scrap paper and now it's almost all used up. For me, putting something into book form is really inhibiting. When I switched to scraps of paper, ideas started flowing like water.

    I got to the end of all the 1950s Blue Note albums today. Each morning I’d start with an album.

    It was an awesome way to start the day but I am a little fried on that era for a while. Once you get past the famous names, there is a lot of cool stuff that I never heard before that I am stoked to revisit someday.

    Time to find a new morning ritual. That one was a good one.

    I made a new shortcut in Apple Shortcuts to help me get on top of posting our shows online. We have about ten spots we need to update with each show.

    With the shortcut, I answer a series of questions about the event. the shortcut then sets up to dos in Things 3 for each spot I need to post on.

    It sets multiple to-dos actually. For a show, I am going with a post two weeks before, one week before, three days before,
    day before, and day of.

    It rules having a steal post schedule and getting all of that out of my mind.
    The next step will be to start writing basic content in advance. ay It will be super basic content with room to customize it.
