I had a big cup of coffee in the late afternoon. I wanted to be alert for the evening's rehearsal. Sure enough, I was dog tired after two solid hours of playing the upright bass, including having to sight read the syncopated parts in Hamilton. Safely home and in bed, the coffee was still kind of doing its job, and I was having trouble falling asleep. Light rain was lashing the glass of the bedroom window and then there was the incessant wind. The insane wind. I was in a doom cycle of not falling asleep, so I got up and grabbed my camera which was nearby, like a child's beloved security blanket. The wind was causing dramatic shadows on the bathroom wall, so I took a few frames. I put earplugs in and went back to bed.
