Guys! I am finally getting regular use out of my Covid lockdown impulse instrument purchase! Yay! I used it for half a song for a show last summer. Now using it for several songs where violin is needed in a current show.

Bleh. I was feeling better from the cold and sore throat thing I had before Christmas that took a couple weeks. Now that that’s gone I feel like I have a respiratory thing. I suspected something but confirmed after practicing for a few hours today since tech week next week.

I’m at a Starbucks where my knit group used to meet. I haven’t been here in at least 13 years. We were here on election night in 2008 when Barrack Obama got elected. So many memories here. The long table is gone though.

Two instruments and one mouthpiece dropped off for post-concert season regulation, a recorking, and removing a ding. One more concert for me tonight.

This year’s Spotify wrap? Mostly the albums for the 3 musicals I played. One of the shows there were 3 different versions.

I’m trying to start a habit where i reach out to someone if I’m thinking about them even if it’s been a long time. So far I’ve had happy results!

Did I really vote if I don’t post a picture? What if it’s not a selfie?

Since drinking during work would be frowned upon I am having a piece of chocolate with my second coffee.

I am getting texts and mailers right and left about early voting. The early voting place is 1.5 miles away, a 7 minute drive. My day of polling place is diagonal across the street from my house, a 2 minute walk. I plan on voting but stop hounding me to vote early when voting on the day is so easy.

2. I have a huge moth hanging out by our keurig machine. A moth got in the house last week. We couldn’t get it out. Then we lost it. I saw it the next day and couldn’t get it either. Then it showed up tonight. It’s huge!

1. It’s interesting that people always think I am a teacher or work in a school. I wanted to be a teacher, but funny enough it was too much school for me to go through.

Frozen the Musical Jr appears to be my next show. Coming in January. Mid-winter seems perfect.

Let’s have more iced coffee.

Having a small get together still requires the same amount of house cleaning as a large get together. This doesn’t seem fair.

Nothing like an internet outage when you’re working from home. It started around 11:45. The notice says it should be restored by 2:30.. great I need to leave at 4.

One of our favorites on the Blackstone.. Mediterranean style chicken breast and some kind of veggie. Tonight that veggie was zucchini. Served it with brown rice from the rice cooker.

It just occurred to me after seeing someone post about a vacation that Cape Cod was probably named due to an abundance of cod fish at some point. Indeed. In 1602, it was.

Can we go for fish and chips now?

One thing led to another during rehearsal last night and I ended finding the Price Is Right theme sheet music arranged for 3 saxophones.

Have I mentioned that Italian Wall Lizards share the outside of our house on occasion when the weather is hot?

I’m not trying to rush time, but it’s only Monday.

There are some people I still have on FB that I continually snooze. I’ve removed most people like that, but there are a handful or one in particular that I can’t bring myself to. They made a comment on my generic “I voted” post which has since been deleted.

I took a few minutes before my workday got hectic and before walking outside is like walking on the surface of the sun to go vote in the NYC Primary election.
Honestly, it took me more time to get outside clothes on than it did to walk across the street to my polling place, vote, and walk back.

Who doesn’t love playing a mid day outdoor concert when it’s humid and supposed to get up to 95 degrees?
