(the beautiful tones of faure's requiem floats thru the room, which the way i feel tonight, a mass for the dead is quite appropriate)

i awoke this morning and knew it was going to be a long day, it had warmed over night to the low 40's F and was raining abit (rained on and off all day), and was damp and bitter, and my back was tight as a drum......and i had two outbounds......got to work to find that the computers were finally fixed, and caught up on the things that i needed to.....first of the two loads arrived about 10:30 and by 2:30 had both loaded but managed to get pretty well soaked in the process......never went to lunch until 20 to 3 so even though it's past time for supper have yet to eat, just not hungry.......but i jump ahead in the narrative......by the end of the day i was toast......but as it was tuesday, went and did my grocery shopping, came home. brewed a pot of coffee and drew a hot bath.......and i'm feeling much better now.......it's tuesday and i don't have a rehearsal to go to, which feels funny but worship team is on hiatus for a couple of weeks as there are some seasonal events planned, i have not sung with church choir this fall because of the commitment to worship team and northcountry choral, a 3rd group was just too much, but had a chat with the choir director over the week end to see when choir would start up after christmas as i intended to sing then, well one thing lead to another and he asked if i would sing in the christmas cantata, they need a bass, well i'm no bass but then the bass part in most of the music we do for church choir really isn't a true bass part, more of a baritone part, and though at the bottom end of my range, is still in my range so i said why not, the music (which i now have a copy of ) is not to difficult so i should be able to learn it in the 3 rehearsals i have left, one tomorrow.........plus i will be playing in a pickup group for a carol sing in a couple of weeks......i just can't turn down a chance to sing/play.........i just have too much fun doing it.......(singing and playing that is, get your mind out of the gutter.......i hate being crowded)
