Jeremy is home and I’m delighted. Sometimes his trips can feel like that last a long time and sometimes not so much. This one passed by rather quickly.
Last night, I had choir rehearsal and it was so much fun. We have an excellent choir director, super accomplished and he is so ambitious for us. We are kind of always on the edge of our capabilities – almost about to fall apart, but yet miraculously, usually able to pull it together. He’s been at the church for three years? Maybe this is his fourth year and the choir has grown and now we have enough people and experience to tackle more challenging choral music. Lots of times, the alto part splits into two parts. I always take the lower part and I try to find the harmony, sometimes it works, other times, not so much. These things always take so much time, to make friends, to feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself. To learn to sing in a group!
This is always what I want for myself, to be at the edge of my capabilities and explore the unknown, but also be close enough to the familiar to not feel adrift or lost.
Ginny helped me out so much this week…she made space for me to get some errands done (like HVAC appointments and choir) for which I’m very appreciative.
I did manage to take Edda out of the house once during the week. We went to the dog park with Elka. It was such a gorgeous fall day yesterday, it was to be taken advantage of. Elka – long suffering dog when Jeremy is out of town. She doesn’t get the long, leisurely walks that she gets with Jeremy in the house.
