The first week of December is already passed on! And I got a Christmas cold on Wednesday so I have tried to take it easy. I hunkered under a cozy blanket Wednesday night (and watched The Amazing Spiderman II) and for much of Thursday morning. After my group of lessons Thursday afternoon/evening (three students who pay for their lessons by cleaning. I clean along side them so when all three come on a Thursday, it is a fairly intense three hours - but a nice clean house afterward) - anyway, I pulled out the blanket again and watched Captain America Winter Soldier. But, amidst all my taking it easy has been some fairly intense activity - teaching, shopping, paying bills - so I am not sure my cold is getting better or getting worse. Blaa.
All State orchestra auditions were yesterday - I had seven Rock Bridge students try out and three made it! Arnold Chen got into the second violin section (this is his second year for All State) and Alice Yu got into the first violin section and Joanna Yu (no relation) is in the violas (she made alternate last year). I am so proud of them and so sad that the other four students didn't get in because they, too, are wonderful musicians. I was up on the MU campus with them from early morning until about 10:30 when the last one finished his audition. I got to go home for a little bit before I had a Prairie Strings wedding to play. And, then it was time to put Christmas decorations up all around the house which took until it was time for bed. Steve spent his day baking tons of cookies for his annual gift to his co-workers. When he wasn't wearing an apron, he was putting up outdoor lights or shopping or cleaning bathrooms. We were both pretty tired out last night.
The tree still needs to be decorated but we will do that tonight. I will take a picture and post it. Until then.....
