A Full Day

Sometimes I wonder why I do what I do, then I remember it is because I like what I do! That would be today. What a long day. Started off going to the gym for my average but brief workout. I figure it is better to go and do something than stay home and do nothing, so I go with that something in mind. Works eventually. Anyway, taught a piano lesson and then sewed with Avery for a couple of hours. Booked it up to Oak Harbor to teach some lessons and do some accompaniment work for the upcoming concerto competition. Came back to attend the WICO rehearsal (Whidbey Island Orchestra Organization) and now I am back at square one. I am tired but all in all it has been a good day. Avery learned the fine art of zippers, single flap and double flap. A necessary skill but not one that I find easy to instruct so I brought in Tarey to do the deed!

While up north I picked up stuff at Wal-mart and Albertsons. I figure that I might as well take advantage of the trip and do some shopping while out and about. I also discovered that you can not purchase a freezer in Oak Harbor, or the portion that I was shopping anyway. So it means I head off to the mainland tomorrow after my lesson and rehearsal to look at Sears. I figured Home Depot would have same, not a one! That came as a shock! But I am rather certain Sears will come through on this department. I will purchase same tomorrow (hopefully) and Larry will collect it on Monday. Will work for both our schedules I think. My chest freezer is not holding temperatures as good as it once did so it is time to get a new chest freezer for long term storage.

Time to decompress and head to bed. Tomorrow is another day, and it might even be a sunny day. That is an extra plus this time of the year. There was some nice sunshine today as I was locked in a practice room with students. Earning money can be such a drag but I am so grateful that I am able to do just that. There are many that have no income at all, I get to do what I want pretty much when I want. Not such a bad routine!
