Ideas just pop in my head, they always have, and they vary in their levels of craziness.  Well, we usually try to do monthly training classes, though we usually have them maybe 5 or 6 times a year for various reasons.  I always wanted to try training to see if I would like it and if I would be good at it, and I feel my chance in November turned out ( Read more... )

OK so there is another major thing going on in my life lately .... my work.  Of course my family is major, but my work has been a very strange and huge twist since November-ish ( Read more... )

Today was quite a day!  We had to get the car inspected, so we had the bright idea of walking to somewhere to eat.  Well, the walk was at least 15 minutes and kicked our ass.  We brought the kids to one of those big car washes, which they love and we had a free one that nearly expired, and then my aunt came over and we went to the Parade of Homes ( Read more... )

I don't know why I'm seriously struggling with sleeping at night, and what sleep I get, it isn't quality.  To make things worse, I've been taking naps that the sleep is so good, I don't want to get up.  As I type now, my body is heavy, I can barely think straight, and I have to leave in 15 minutes so that I can make the staff meeting today.  I ( Read more... )

I received my Fox type 2 crutch yesterday.  Just as I suspected, the holes in the bassoon didn't quite align, so I screwed the 3 that did and tried it.  I think th metal stem is a bit too long b/c I can barely reach F# while playing.  So like the dummy that I am, I ordered more stuff.  I don't currently have swabs or anything to clean the ( Read more... )
