dchenesYep, LONG bloody week. And I haven't even been to the second dress rehearsal yet. The weather is not helping, because it's been 40 and solid overcast constantly, and raining most of the time, since Sunday night. If I ran the universe, I would be curled up at home in my gigantic sweatshirt and jeans and fleecy slippers until the sun comes out again.
However, at least this orchestra's concertmaster is nice to look at. He's not handsome in the usual sense, but I think he has an interesting face. He was concertmaster once before, too, but I forget which concert it was.
Also, Snip is slowly getting less sneezy, and never lost her appetite this time. Last time she got a cold, I think she couldn't smell anything, and didn't get the idea that her dinner was food because she couldn't smell it. (File under "particularly dim alien in cat suit", but I love her anyway.)
And, I get to do a good deed for somebody. Last fall I made friends with an alto from England, who was in the Master's in Education program. She graduated last spring and went back to London, and we ended up as Facebook friends. Her dad lives in a nursing home. I think he had a stroke, but I don't know. Anyway, he can't speak, can't walk and can't use one hand. But he still likes art and music and all that stuff, and we just got the CD of last fall's concert and I'm sending her one to play for her dad. Assuming I can get to the post office and dinner before rehearsal tonight.
On Monday I bought the new Half Baked Harvest cookbook, which was worth it just for the scallops and cherry tomatoes recipe. I had better hurry up and get enough dives in so I can go scalloping next summer. Next weekend I've GOT to get back in the pool, even though I haven't been because the D line is running charter buses on weekends, and the B and C lines are running charter buses on occasional alternating weekends, and diving gear bags and charter buses don't play nice. (And also because I'm lazy, and also because I've been worrying about things like Lily's kidneys.)
I really miss the sun.
