I went to concert choir tonight for the first time in a long time. Jerilee and I have missed the last three weeks! I had Rowan three weeks ago, so the hooky started there, the Tuesday the week after was filled with appointments that filled the day enough, and the next week Jerilee couldn’t speak a word without hacking out her lungs. So we’re finally out of survival mode and back into life, and it was sooo nice to be back!
We were freakishly early but stalled for a little bit in the parking lot before going into the school. When we finally went in, we chatted a bit with a few people and eventually found seats. It was SUCH a good evening for singing!! I know we’ve missed those weeks but it was nice to come into a more confident sound, thanks to the singers who had attended more diligently and learned their parts. It was so easy to get right back into the swing of things. I am completely excited to perform the songs in April. You should really all come. Its going to be epic.
After practice, we doddled a little bit, waiting to speak to the director to see if we needed to get any new music from the last few weeks, and ended up visiting with her for about an hour and a half! She is a woman who Jerilee and I both hold quite dear, and it was good to finally get a solid visit in with her. We learned more about how concert choir is going to look the day of, which made me even more excited, but we discussed life, an depth, and real things that made me sooo happy we stayed late!
I left my house at 5:30, and expected to be home before 9:00, but I was finally in my room at 11:11. SO worth it! Now to get some sleep before tomorrow is in full swing. My plans for the day fell through, but maybe I’ll get some cleaning or tidying done. Just a few little problem areas in my house that insist on being out of place for some reason. Dang you, countertop. You’ve got a lot of nerve being so conveniently placed and willing to hold everything I own.
