New week.

Jeremy’s in Chicago, the kitty is in a new house being cute, I’m home with Edda and just chillin’. I realized last night the Edda and I are in our own self-contained cocoon, not beholden to any outside schedule. We have nowhere to go, no one to see, work can happen anytime. I could black out all the curtains and just eat when I’m hungry, sleep when I’m tired and Edda too and just let the world spin on outside without us. (This is not good).

I’m enjoying all the music in my life. Singing with the church choir is back in my schedule after a summer off. I swear, I enjoy lessons just because I can hear very accomplished musicians do their thing. Like when Josh, our choir director, sings our parts – he’s louder than the entire section put together and also can travel up and down the voices going from low basses to the high soprano parts which he does in falsetto. Or when Billy, my guitar teacher, listens carefully to a song on spotify and magically picks out the guitar line and then goes on to improvise from it. Both of these sessions are in groups, but I’m sure they can hear each one of us picking out our parts. Josh often says – I hear an alto singing the melody an octave lower. That’s me – yikes.

I’ve been enjoying the new Taylor Swift album which dropped a few days ago. She’s happy which makes this album must less tortured than her last album. She wrote this album during her eras tour! omg can this lady multitask – just unbelievable.
