Now I remember why I got season concert tickets. I've been having a rough last
few days, frastration and extreme restlessness have topped the lists. 

I realized I had a concert to go to tonight as I was trying to get the trash
taken out for trash day and I was late for work. The day went by slowly and
short staffed. Tuesday is a yoga night which means rushing out of work on time
to get to the gym. Tonight I would have to cut out of yoga early in order to
get to the concert. Yoga ends at 7, concert starts at 7, something had to
give, but I really didn't want to miss my workout. I had a lot of things to
contort out of my system.

As I was walking to the car after work I realized it was still light out, just
barely, and also pleasantly cold, not bitter. So at the last minute I decided
to take a really nice walk in the fresh air, rather than trying to rush to the
gym, then rush to the concert. I had a great walk, went for about an hour and
a half, and then relaxed went to the concert.

I remembered why I got season concert tickets and how great it is to be young
and single with disposable income. The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet was awesome,
classical guitar. They were doing a selection with a mostly Spanish overture,
so a fair bit of rhumbas and tangos with some other pieces mixed in. It was a
perfect break into my bad mood, relaxing yet energizing. 

Music, live music, is such a great break to winter doldrums and other life
stress. My drawing is still not matted, yet I feel like I can face at least a
few of my frustrations again. I also figured out I have tickets to a concert
on valentine's day, I wonder if I can sneak Garth in, mi amor!
