One down, one left...(two committee meetings in the same day, which at least means they're getting done, even if they are driving me crazy. The two today have been driving me crazy for two weeks.)

I'm getting to a point where I'm tired of fighting with everything. Committees and budget and time and chores and what goes on in my head and everything. It's not that I want to lie around while the universe peels me grapes, but I'd really like for a couple of the things that keep coming up to stop coming up while I deal with the rest of them. I'm running out of ability to kick myself in the pants and say "look, you're an adult, so deal with it."

I wish I had next Monday off, because having a weekend, going to work on Monday and having Tuesday off is silly.

I'm going to have to give up the trombone lessons until I have more income. I can keep the trombone, at $30 per month, but I can't afford the lessons at $30 per week any more.

The sun seems to be making a token effort at coming out. That's nice of it.

things get damaged, things get broken...

I got a fat lip from playing the trombone tonight and had to get on the bus with it. Oh well. It was a good lesson, anyway.

Wonder of wonders, when I got home, I discovered that whoever it was with the wet laundry had done something about it, so my dark laundry is currently in the dryer and my white laundry is in the wash, and I might conceivably have clean shirts for the rest of the week. I'm debating whether the washing machine is big enough to handle the comforter I still haven't washed. I think it's at least close to big enough.

I've got a couple of audio tapes I would love to make CDs out of. One in particular, because it's the one I play to calm down when I'm feeling unsettled and unhappy and don't know what to do about it. I discovered this weekend that the tape player in my stereo has taken to rewinding tapes too tight, and then getting them stuck. I really don't want my "unsettled and miserable" tape to get eaten.
