My spring break was last week. It was framed by Easter gigs, another interview and playing a rescheduled Barry Manilow concert. This week has been Macon's annual cherry blossom time. I've had 3 night's of playing "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" as part of my elementary school's production about the Gullah culture. It's a fitting song. My car with 182,000 miles is off life support ($1500 later-water pump, radiator, timing belt, knock sensor...). One of our cats got very sick, apparently due to a change in cat litter. Even cats veg out in front of the tv when ill. She's coming around now too (let's hope the vet doesn't charge $1500 for her visit tomorrow). There is one last cherry blossom event to go this year-a children's concert accompanied by our somewhat less than in tune faculty orchestra. You really should play in tune if you are a music teacher (well, ok, so the state of Georgia actually has nothing in its string standards about intonation. I am not kidding). My husband's been playing opera each night at the opposite end of the state, so we are all exhausted. I have a phone interview Friday afternoon for an excellent potential job, but once that's done it's finally goof off time, at least for a few hours!This entry has been archived and is no longer accepting comments.
