wednesday
Well, I found the words yesterday to tell Elizabeth that I wanted to end our lessons. Got very teary. Trying to figure out why this makes me so emotional. This (to be able to play a song on the piano and sing along with it) is something I've wanted to do all my life. A bucket list kind of thing. I have really appreciated her patience and encouragement for these past 5 1/2 years. I'm not good. I've given up thinking I'll ever be very good but I CAN do it to my own satisfaction. For the rest of my life (hopefully) I can continue to enjoy playing songs for myself. After I told her, I played a couple songs for her (Morning has Broken and Take me Home Country Roads) but then when we got to talking again I started to cry (!) so I decided it was time to just end the session early and go home. No more crying. So that's it. I feel good about it. A little embarrassed that I got so emotional but still good. I feel much lighter.
I also got a permanent crown put on that front tooth yesterday. Before and after:
A big improvement I think. Though it's not like I set out to get a crown for the looks. It had a cavity in the back and in the front what looked like a crack all the way up and down it. Something needed to be done.
Oh, and in other BIG news: I got two boxes of stuff from the basement ready to go to a second hand store and they are in the back of my car right now. I stopped at Gems to drop them off yesterday but they weren't open on Tuesdays. I'll need to try again.
Today is women's group and walking with Jan beforehand. There is a place near Launch 4 at Wilhelm where someone left an old car back in the woods many years ago. I was talking to Jan about it recently and wondered if she knew if it was still there. So we're going to look for it today, just to see.
