I'm so spoiled
Dec. 20th, 2004 06:53 amThis one-day weekend thing is for the birds.
I'm at work today, with plans to spend the day either hiding or pretending to work. I was hoping by working today and tomorrow I'd only have to spend one day with the boss, who's supposed to be on the Tues-Wed schedule. But he came in anyway. Bother.
Performance yesterday went okay. Only one or two embarassing moments, when Bob wasn't paying attention and starting playing the wrong song, and we had to start over. Sight-read most of it, thought, which vexes me. What's the point in setting who's playing which part on various songs, when you don't stick to those in the performance? Gah. No point in complaining, since I'm not going to do it again.
I've decided that, since I'm leaving the recorder group, and I still want to do something musical, I'm going to focus on learnign to play some of my other instruments better. I'd half planned to do guitar lessons through the college, but that costs money, and I can pull beginning music for my other flutes off the net for free. Found lots of beginning stuff for the Native American flute, and ocarina, and my bamboo sax can play those or the simpler recorder music. We've got a beginning pennywhistle book, that we purchased years ago for By, I can work out of that for a while. On those, I really need to just play them often enough to get used to the differences between the whistle and my recorders.
Had a very short attention span yesterday, so I spent the afternoon and evening editing stuff out of my herb notebook. Someday, that'll be in a (relatively) compact, easy-to-access format. And then hell will freeze over, I'm sure :)
By spent yesterday making a chainmail-handled flogger that's to be delivered today. He also stayed up late finishing a feather teaser to replace the display one that sold.
Started pulling together Xmas gifts for family: some quilting books for Mom and Sis, plus an old book of Vietnamese fairy tales for Mom. I need to pick a bracelet out of my pile of nearly-finished beadwork and put a clasp on it for Sis. Sis's hubby and kids get clothes, Grandma gets groceries. By's family will get knitted things and some of my blank books, probably late, since they're not even boxed and wrapped yet, let alone in the mail.
