It was nice to get off work at noon yesterday. Come home, have lunch, chill. I'd gotten everything done by Sunday, so it was a matter of remembering to bring my gifts downstairs, which I did after 9 PM. And promptly got yelled at.

And it's so close to the holidays that all schedules are upended. So, I'm loopy. I'm also not feeling very refreshed, which is a bummer, and something is stressing me out, so I'm extra tired.

On Friday before the concert, one of the trumpet players congratulated me on getting a solo for our next concert. I was confused and perplexed, plus a little scared since this had not been brought up to me. I figured she was mistaken ( Read more... )
