Turkey Day Weekend
It was an interesting weekend. I was continually caught between having fun and remembering that this is going to be the worst holiday season of my life.
Thursday:
Mom blew up (kinda like I do) 'cause the rolls weren't working out and I just went to my room and cried and worked on the crossstitch I'm making PJ. Did the whole Thanksgiving shove yourself with food thing. Didn't have any turkey and only a little bit of pie. Played my piano pieces for everyone (had to do it twice), listened to a cd of it being done by someone who can play. Wow.
Friday:
Got up really early to go to NJ to visit family. Didn't have that much fun. More working on crossstitch, being mopy. Walked on the boardwalk, rode a bike, talked to my one aunt that I never see.
Saturday:
Spent the day at a place called Wheaton that used to be a glassblowing factory town thing... hard to explain. Spent the evening alone with my grandparents (well, E&M were there) and mostly stayed up stairs doing homework. Didn't really get as much done as I should have.
Sunday:
Got up really early to come home. Got home in time to go to church. At church I talked to SD (my contact for all things Important) and learned that, yes, the Sunday after Christmas is her last. SD was also wondering about my project and what I'm going to do with that if she's not going to be there. Also turns out that last Sunday, at the congregational meeting, she said it was health related. So does that mean she's not leaving us for another place? Or are they lying? Is she just retiring? Does that mean she'll be half-retired for the year, to finish out confirmation and all? I guess I'll find out some of the answers tomorrow night at a H2H team meeting. After service I got two hugs! And when we were talking (about the meeting) she held onto my hair. Do I sound wierd and obsessed? Or do I just notice things and analyze all the little things too much? Oh well, it occupies my brain.
UGH! My fingers hurt so bad now! I can hardly type or play piano or anything! Waah!
Oh, and I saw Lauren today. She goes to Hood and I guess was back on TurkeyDay break. It was fun talking to her. I told her about Sound and the Fury and that it was Faulkner, and she said, "Yeah, sounds like him." (I had told her about what Big Quentin did.)
I'm going to go... things to do, people to email... especially KW about my trombone solos. Supposed to have two of "contrasting style"... does that mean a fast and a slow or a baroque and a modern? 'Cause I got two contemporary dudes who wrote my pieces...
