Okay, it’s been a long, busy day; and I
have a lot to cover; but this is going to be short too because I’m going to be
awake and back at it before I get to sleep if I don’t get started on my nap
soon.
The weather was pretty nice around here by
this afternoon, but too cool for Tai Chi this morning. School was fun, but uneventful; and the busy
part of my day started once we were set free.
Uncle Terry is here for a work visit about the bridge, but while Aunt
Angela couldn’t come this time; he did bring Valerie and Marcus – and Mom took
care of the kids while he was busy with his meetings this afternoon. Michael and I spent some time with them too –
and with Ethan and Ehlana; but we also needed to do our homework; help with
cooking dinner; eat; and then help with the clean-up before going with our Moms
to the marching band committee meeting.
The big news there is that the main
fundraiser we’ll be doing between now and the trip to Florida was finalized –
for everything from the contents of the fruit and vegetable boxes to the price
and order forms. Those order forms are
already printed and ready to go for our first practice next week. We’ll have the first couple of weeks of every
month to get orders and renew orders; and the boxes will be delivered at the
end of the month. We’ll also be
switching to monthly meetings instead of weekly starting with next Monday’s meeting;
but that won’t free up much time of my schedule because we’ll be replacing that
with our new marching band practices beginning next Tuesday – which for some of
us will be between concert band practice and teen praise team practice.
Michael came home with me after the meeting
so that we could work on our music for those practices tomorrow, and while we
have more time than normal to get ready for Memorial Day weekend services and
the parade; we aren’t taking a break at all.
We had four spectators for our music play time; we took care of getting
them into bed after that; and then Michael went home so that I could come up to
my room again and get started on my work and studying. I had a major project proposal to deal with
for the family business; so it’s ended up being way too many hours of computer
time to get everything done tonight. I
did get there, though; so now I just have to figure out how to get through
another day without much sleep.
I’ll let you know how that goes with the
next update – if I don’t end up sleeping through Tuesday instead, but that’s it
for now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
