Most people who know my family know we regularly attend church on Sunday mornings. However, today was a different day for me. I agreed to play piano for the Sunday School Christmas program, which was this evening. I went to help with the practice this morning during Sunday School, before the service. However, things just got busy as usual and time got away on us. We had never ran through the entire production with the music, so I realized I had never actually played through the music! Not this year yet, anyway.
So I skipped the service and spent that time at my parents, practicing the music. When the service was over, I went back to the church for another practice with the kids. This time, we went the whole time through, and I actually felt relatively prepared. After that practice, I ran to Saskatoon to get my new phone. My iPhone turned out to be a lemon, so I got my replacement today. I headed straight back to Dalmeny from there, we had supper, and went to the evening service a little early so I could play a prelude.
The program went well, but I felt quite spent at the end of it. We gathered our stuff up from spending the day at my parents’, and headed home. Now Dekker is in bed, and our bubble bath is running. How I missed our bubble baths!!! I’m looking forward to resting my body. I know it sounds silly, because I didn’t really do much today, but my nerves are always a little bit higher when I’m playing for something like this. Now, it is behind me, and it went really smoothly! I can say I am very happy with how today played out.
Tomorrow, we are having a few friends over for coffee and dessert in the evening. I need to pick up a parcel downtown tomorrow, and I also got zero crocheting done today, so I need to get on that as well. Sounds perfect to me 🙂 I have never enjoyed doing my dishes as much as I do these days! Such a relief to have a tidy kitchen to bake in and entertain around. Christmas is coming!
