The Day After Recital

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!

Several of my feathered friends are flitting around in the garden this morning and one lady finch is talking to me from the feeder. I love my bird friends and will miss them this winter. 

Nothing much to talk about this morning. I did get up early and Hubby left for work early so I was able to get my cleaning done first thing. 

My secret project is off to a slow start...had a little hick-up in the works last night, but hopefully will be back on track today. Next week, with the start of school, most of my students will not be attending lessons, so I will have the week to myself to focus on it...at least that is the plan as of now. 

Today I'll be working in the studio, I have a new incentive program for the students to get up and running. I may have to make a run to the scrapbook store...any excuse! 

I got my hair cut yesterday, it has lots of short layers and rests about 2" below my earlobe...it feels so good to get it off my neck. My hairdresser styled it yesterday and it was so puffy and full of product I couldn't stand it, now I have to figure out how to make it function and look good for everyday life LOL.

As a member of the organists, I'm supposed to attend an organ/harp concert tonight. For some reason, as much as I love organ music, I could care less if I go. I'm not crazy about the organist, it will be hot in the old church, with no air conditioning, I don't feel like going alone and as inexpensive as the tickets are, I'm not wanting to part with the $10.00 right now. Tomorrow afternoon is an organ crawl. I'm interested in one of three I will be able to view...I may go just to see that one. I'll see. 

Well, my coffee cup is empty...time to get this day started.
