I got up at 9, not sure why I slept so
late. I read e-mail, and started the list of audios. I checked the
mailbox since I did not do it yesterday. The DVD I was expecting was
there. I exercised and practiced, and then ate breakfast. Later I
spent my 20 minutes in the sun. I finished another audio and mowed
the lawn. I was tired of the grass needing mowing so soon, so I
lowered the deck just a tiny bit. I did not get nearly as much grass
covered as last time. And it was slightly wet. Then it was time to
put my sewing room back together. I was going to ask Chris to help
me move the furniture, but decided to do what I could first. I moved
the wooden structure that the dresser sits on. Not too bad. Then I
'walked' the dresser from the garage to the sewing room. It was slow
but doable. I added the nine drawers, and took a break. The only
thing left was the desk, and it was heavy. Part of the problem was
that it wasn't built to carry its own weight , i.e. if you grab it by
a shelf or the top, it's own weight could pull it apart. I got a
rolling cart under one side. I was able to pick up the other side
and roll about 6 inches at a time. I got it in front of the stairs,
but it ran into the washing machine. I was tempted to give up. But
by tipping it on its side (taking a chance), somehow there was just
enough room to turn the corner and get it into the room. I flipped
it right side up, trying not to let it bang on the tile, but it did.
Well, better than on my foot. I knew I had taken a chance with my
back so I laid down on the couch. Chris came home sometime later and
started laundry. When I went up, I finished a video I started
earlier. We ate supper. Staring out at the yard, I realized that
the overgrowth by the back fence was gone! I went out to see it up
close. Yep. Someone razed the whole section up to the culvert.
Must have been the guys who took down the tree next door. On the way
back I picked some nearly ripe tomatoes. Then I showered, dressed and
went to choir practice. There was a stack of folders but none with
my name in it, so I decided to wait until after practice to get one
of the leftovers. We practiced for an hour. One man was singing an
octave below the bass line, even when it went low. I liked it.
After we were dismissed, some stayed to practice music for Rally Day.
If they had told me, I would have brought my trombone. I listened
and then picked up a folder to go. Mary came over to tell me that
I'd only have to play an intro and conclusion to the songs I'd
practiced, because the others would be singing it. Then Jennifer
asked if we would do the patriotic songs again. And we will be
singing and playing while the congregation is getting their picnic
lunch. Okay. I came home to find Chris on his laptop. He showed me
all the pics he took at graduation, which he had then erased from the
camera. We transferred them to my laptop. He was too tired to watch
TV, so we just went to bed.
