Home mid-week

Rehearsal went smoothly.  I enjoyed hearing the choir sing the music I'd been listening to on my iPad.  Live music is indeed different!  Five instrumentalists enhance the piano accompaniment:  flute, oboe/English horn, clarinet, French horn and bassoon.  I wish I could hear the choir from out in the pews, but I'll have to wait.  One of the singers usually has her family video the special music presentations, then she posts them on her YouTube channel.  (So if any of you want to hear us, let me know and I'll send you a link.)

Thursday I did some laundry, accidentally stepping on Randy's toes in the process because I kinda messed up his schedule.  Oops!  I'll have to be careful, pay attention to his routines.  I practiced then went to the grocery store.  It almost feels like I have forgotten how to plan meals.  Randy said with a smile, "Imagine how I feel.  It's been 37 years since I had to plan my meals.  Your 3 months is nothing!"  Dena joined us for sweet and spicy chicken, then Randy and I took a walk.  Although I wore a heavy sweatshirt, I wished I had on long sleeves under it.  The wind as we headed toward the bay was bracing!

K texted that e wasn't happy going to bed for a nap but did enjoy chilling in her swing.  I know how that feels--to think I'm reading her signals but discover she doesn't mean it.  Daddy and daughter time, priceless!

Today I will do more laundry, have lunch with Carol, practice the Requiem some more, and continue to work on setting up the blue room for E, K and e's arrival on Memorial Day.
