Yesterday was much better, because the humidity backed off and I got enough sleep. I was able to do some prep work for the meeting I had rescheduled from Monday and it went pretty well.

After work yesterday I went out for gazpacho ingredients, and came home and promptly hauled out the blender. Pulverizing innocent vegetables that way would probably have sufficed when I wanted a set of dishes and a lump hammer to work out frustrations on earlier this month; keeping that in mind for next time. Anyway, it all went quite well up until I discovered my paprika jar was full of bugs. Fortunately the smoked paprika wasn't, and now I have gazpacho to last through the weekend. And almost enough of a list of spices I'm out of to justify ordering online from Penzey's and waiting two or three weeks while they catch up with their online orders.

On Monday night I finally hauled out some actual sheet music and discovered that yes, I can play the melody line on the keyboard. I'm still working on the harmony for the processional from the Play of Herod and I don't have sheet music for that in the first place, so I'm working out both parts by ear. Harmony is still fun, and the keyboard is the only way I can do it these days.

Today could be Friday and I really wouldn't mind. It feels sort of like Friday for some reason.
