I played some golf over the weekend without lip protection. STUPID! This time of the season is tricky in that the weather is between fall and winter. It was pretty chilly and windy that day so I ended up with a bit of lip damage. Granted, it is no more damage than I normally get when I'm outside without protection but it feels horrible! It is amazing how lip sensitive I have become now that I've started playing trumpet. If they are anything but soft and undamaged I'm freaking out. I'm using Blistex to get them back in shape. I resolved to keep something for my lips in my truck, golf bag, home, work… EVERYWHERE. This will NOT happen again.

I?m beginning to think that writing a journal entry once a week may be a bit much. I?m getting to the point where I?m starting to repeat myself. Not totally sure yet but I may limit my journal entries to twice a week or sooner if something worth talking about happens.
