I’ve Got the Blues

Chose to do a oil on loose canvas of John Coltrane with a palette knife.  I’m in a blues type of mood, really.  I’m feeling quite alone and in an abstract way, rather sad. The mood has lifted a little bit over the past few days, but I do wish that  I lived in a larger urban area like I used to, before moving out to the bright lights of the great metropolis of Frederick. (Grin)  It really is a sad night scene around here- I do wish I could see a jazz ensemble or even some blues, but most of the local talent gravitates toward the mainstream and folk (Irish, balladeers, etc.).  Not that there’s anything wrong with that- it’s  just not my cup of tea.  Wow I feel lonely.  And spring break is coming up this next week for my classes. Hmm, I’m hoping that I can avoid any brooding and possible hospital time, though it would be far more convenient than if I suddenly snapped when the term resumed.  We’ll see- I’ve given myself all manner of little chores to do to sort of fill the time and want to do some reading in French to exercise the mind a bit. I’m hoping I’m past the worst of it, but then I’ve thought that before.  Divorce is a blight, and it never goes away, or so it seems.
