Dress Rehearsal
Someone is rehoming two male cats. I'm debating asking to adopt them. Two more cats would be tough for Zara and Mimi, but they're a bonded pair, so they might entertain each other? Though I'm not really set up for them. It would be better to adopt a cat after the 1st of the year.
I woke up twice last night for some reason. I got up once and ate oatmeal to fall back asleep. Then I overslept a little but had time for my shower.
Mimi chose lap time over food! But she had to meow at me first before jumping on.
Hmm. Allerton, which is a house and gardens owned by the University about a half-hour away, is having a "Holiday GLOW" event on Saturday night. The gardens are set up with holiday lights, and there is music and food for purchase. It costs $10. It sounds like fun. They want cash though. Though if I go on the 21st, there is a holiday market and a Winter Solstice Bonfire as well. That sounds great. Though there's a Holiday Showcase this weekend with vendors. I found a photo of the Mississippi River that I like, but I’m not sure where I’d put it. But I could order it online.
It's snowing. We got a light dusting.
Suckage. The bank does currency exchange, but it has to be a minimum of $100. The credit union that I also belong to does currency exchange, but they will charge $25 and the money will be available in 2 to 3 business days.
The plus side is that I can take a nap over lunch. Couldn’t sleep.
It's cold up here (in my home office upstairs). I retrieved my small space heater and it helps somewhat. I'm trying to decide whether to get a larger space heater or put in a heat pump for upstairs. (I keep getting ads for the heat pump on Facebook. It would be better but probably expensive.) Actually, the little space heater is doing a pretty good job.
Dress rehearsal tonight for choir. I need to get a black folder for the music for the concert next week. We're supposed to wear all black as well for the concert.
I just found a perfect table for the library on Facebook Marketplace. It's dark wood with a green marble top. $15. I need to measure for it next to the wingback chair to see if it will work though. Yes, it would be perfect. I'll message the seller (done).
My dumb knee is twinging when I go up and down stairs. I need to figure out what exercises I need to do to help.
I want to get to rehearsal early because the musicians with whom we’re playing are getting there early. I did get there early. I go because I made a commitment, but I wind up enjoying the singing. We’ll have to get there at 6 PM next week before the concert, so I might need to leave work a little early. Oh, my voice teacher was right that if I sat in the same row as the rest of the altos, I could hear them better.
Here's the poster for our concert:
Oh, and the roads and sidewalks were kind of slick from the snow turning into ice in spots. Apparently, there were a bunch of accidents earlier today. Some people on Facebook were complaining that people forget how to drive on ice and snow each year.
I need to practice piano, but I think that I’ll get up early and do it. I’m musiced out:) And I really want to get into cozy PJs and snuggle with Zara. Speaking of which, Zara wants food.
