Snow, Snow GO AWAY!!!

I was proud of myself this year...I did quite well not only staying busy this winter, but staying positive for the most part. March started getting the better of me and now April....oh my!! This morning I truly did not want to get out of bed and if it wasn't for my little friend, Suki needing to go out...I wouldn't have. I'm groggy and lethargic and my body literally is aching for sunshine and warmth. We received about 3" of snow overnight and it is coming down steadily this morning. They are predicting we could get another 3-6" today. I feel as though my life is on hold until the sun comes out. 

 Yesterday I went to practice and help my mentor tune the organ. It was so nice to play a real instrument again and to enjoy the confidence it gives me. My music always sounds so much better when I play there. We also spent some time catching up on each others' lives...so much has happened to both of us during our absence from one another. Practicing again was so needed. I am finding that I don't think as clearly and my memory is not as good when I'm not practicing regularly. We both agreed that time away from the instrument begins to have a retarding effect over time. Scary, but at least we know what to do about it...practice, practice, practice! 

 Plans are few today, I find I just don't have the energy right now. I have 4 students scheduled, so teaching will take most of my time. I have some writing for my history project I want to work on, but I'm not sure I'll have the time. Meals will be simple and comforting. I have some leftover gravy so I'll brown some ground turkey and put it over toast for lunch and there will be enough left-over Italian Stew if I put crackers and cheese out, or make sandwiches to go with it. The use of bread isn't what I'm supposed to eat, but at the end of the month, things have to stretch somehow. 

 I do look forward to watching last night's episode of Castle online sometime today. It drove me crazy last night trying to focus on reading a book when I knew Castle was on and I couldn't see it! 

 Well, the morning is half spent...time to go...

    Hope your day is good. It would be nice to be able to play a musical instrument. I never learned how. I'd like to be able to strum pretty music on a guitar or play a key board

      I hope to be teaching remotely soon, via Google Hang Out. Let me know if you're interested in lessons or know of someone who is.

    I'm so disappointed right now. I sent you an email explaining. ** I thought I saw on the weather channel this morning that you could get temperatures up in the 60's tomorrow. I hope they're right. ** I hope you have a good day. I've had days like that so I know how you feel. Take care. Keep smiling. ♥

    Wishing the snow away and sunshine to appear for you, Julie. It seems so crazy to me, getting that much new snow at the end of April! Hang in there!
