A musical distraction?

September 30, 2012 by Tricia

It seems every weekend I have my head in the books. At least that’s the way it’s been the past month. I suppose until the end of December it will continue that way. As it turns out the two courses I’m taking are quite heavy duty but I will be that much better a nurse when I’ve completed the courses.

It doesn’t help that my abdomen has been acting up since mid-summer though. It’s been worse and worse as each day goes by. My Internist increased my meds last week so I’m now taking the maximum dosage of my Crohn’s meds. I have no where to go from here if it doesn’t start to settle down .. other than much more radical treatments that I probably can’t do or maybe surgery.

As a distraction, tomorrow Chris and I are going to see a friend that has this new musical … well, it’s not an instrument but I guess it’s something that you can use “with” your instruments? It’s called a alesis io dock musicians friend or something like that. Anyone with an iPad can produce, perform and create music with the io Dock using any pro audio gear or any instruments.

As I said I’m not sure how it works, but Chris will figure it out since he’s the musician. It will be interesting to see what new music he creates using this new technology. We don’t have an iPad .. but I know after playing with the io Dock he’ll want to get an iPad and an io dock. I won’t even bet on it because it’s a sure thing.

Ok, time for maybe a tiny rest and then back to putting my head in the books for most of the night. The only time I’ll stop studying is to watch Dexter later. I won’t miss that! Oh and maybe Homeland. Gosh … there’s other good shows on tonight too. Ok, I’m taping them.
