Last nights recital was a success, even the parent that likes to make trouble was on her good behavior. I wrapped my arm in an ace bandage because I was hauling heavy beverages into the church and moving furniture around and my Dr. saw it and questioned me. He examined it on the spot and says it's not carpel tunnel or tennis elbow (I don't think he ever did say what it was, except inflammation) but that he'd call something in to the pharmacy for me today. I put ice on it last night and it's not quite as bad today as it was yesterday.
All the students did very well. One young man had a memory lapse but was able to collect himself, pick it up and continue
on.
Plans for today are cleaning, cleaning, cleaning oh, and laundry, laundry, laundry! Also I have lunch with Anita, the lady with Alzheimer's; my friend, Anita can't make it today so I'll go alone. I'm thinking of riding my bike over, it will take about 15-20 minutes and I'll stop for some sandwiches on the way.
Some things on my heart this morning are my son who is very discouraged with his life, job etc., healing of my arm, success for the business so we can have a little financial breathing room and I'm having trouble getting my eyes to focus on the computer screen this morning and I just got my prescription changed. Also, we've had someone step up to give the church a free organ, but it's not of the quality that I have prayed for. I knew we couldn't get what I want, but this one is quite old...mid 70's technology...How do you say no to free, even if it's not good enough?
I saw my first Oriole in the yard this morning! Hubby said he didn't know they got this far north. I'm going to make something to hold an orange for him today to see if he'll come back.
It's partly cloudy this morning, but we've had gray skies for the last few days so I'm excited to have a day with some sun.
Even though I will not have much in the way of income this summer, I am looking forward to some time to get some other things accomplished and projects finished before winter sets in again. It seems around here the entire summer is spent preparing for another winter.
I wish for you a day filled with music!
Sorry you couldnt have gotten a newer organ, one that you really wanted, but like you said, free is free. Sure hope your arm gets better soon. Be careful cleaning and moving things that you dont injure it even more. So glad you are having some sunshine....here we are bracing for the backlash from the hurricane heading up the eastern seaboard. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the recital was a success but sorry to hear you injured your arm. Sounds like you pulled a tendon that's now inflamed. Hope it heals fast... a piano player can't have those injuries. :)
ReplyDeleteOrioles are so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen any in my area but it would be nice. We never used to have bluebirds but we do now. It must be that climate change they insist we're having because the birds are migrating into new areas.
Hope you have a great day. Take care.
You're still on my prayer list. ♥
Thanks for the prayers, Carol. I appreciate them.
DeleteHow great that the recital went so well, and also that your arm seems to be "just" inflammation, and not something more serious. I'm sorry to hear about the organ, but wondered if the church could sell it and use the money to get something newer? Perhaps the donor would not be opposed to it, knowing the age of his/her gift. Just a thought. Prayers will continue and your new requests added, Julie. Feel the love daily!! How did it go with Anita today?
