No news is good news, right?

Current Weight: 163 pounds

NET LOSS: 24 pounds

Considering that my neck injury has had me lying on my back with heat compresses for most of the past week, I'm fairly satisfied with not losing any weight this week.  It does put me behind schedule for my target weight of 155 pounds by BRF Opening Day, ( Read more... )

I survived.  I sucked, but I survived.  She made me play last, after all the advanced students - ACK!  Oh well.  I guess somebody had to be the comic relief.  Katie sounded really good, though.  I gave her the rest of December off from lessons.

In completely unrelated news, it appears I have either a "stress reaction" or a "stress fracture" in my ( Read more... )

I just got a call from the mother of one of my students.  She said her daughter couldn't remember why she was supposed to be at church tonight.  She knew she was supposed to be there but couldn't remember the reason.  I reminded her that today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and that her daughter is supposed to play with me at Mass ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's only the second week of December!  It feels like we should be further along than this, but maybe that's just because the season has already been so unbelievably busy.  So here's a quick status update:

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to be at church for the 7:30am Mass.  I only do this early-to-church thing a few times during the year, so it's not something I'm used to.  Then why are you still up posting, you may ask?  Because my last batch of salsa isn't done yet, I still have clothes in both the washer and the dryer, and I haven't wrapped the Christmas/ ( Read more... )

I lost a flute student tonight.  No, not in a permanent way - she's alive and well.  Rebecca has decided to quit flute lessons again.  She quit earlier this summer when she thought maybe she wanted to take up the clarinet.  Now she's quitting because she wants to concentrate on her competitive ice skating.  I'm actually quite OK with this turn of ( Read more... )

Not a whole lot to say about today.  Started looking at cars online for potential replacements for the car I picked up from the garage sans repairs.  At least they didn't charge us to look at it, which was very nice of them (a lot of places would have charged a fee for the time they sent poking around).  Looking at our schedule we probably won't be ( Read more... )

Had another migraine today.  It is migraine season, so I have them fairly regularly this time of year, however, we also had Chinese food today.  I thought Sun Shui was MSG-free, but looking at their website again I can't find any information regarding MSG at all, so maybe that triggered it.  Carl had a headache, too, although it wasn't as severe as ( Read more... )

Today:

Chris Muetz's funeral at 11:00am.  We got there shortly after 10:00am, which gave us time to visit and to pay our final respects before the service started.  They definitely needed more seating, although I'm not sure where they would have put any more chairs; it was SRO around the edges of the room.

Flute lesson with Katie at 3:00pm.
