jennlkOh, right. Sunday was the LCCB spring concert. Entitled "Gags and Gimmicks", there was a surprising amount of good music in there. (Often, "funny" themed concerts are full of stupid things and simple music.) We did Typewriter, Grand Serenade for An Awful Lot of Winds & Percussion, Midnight Fire Alarm, Pie in the Face Polka (henry mancini), What's Up at the Symphony (Looney Tunes music) and a couple of other things I'm forgetting; and two encores, the second of which was subtitled "musician's strike", and when the notes ran out on your part, you were supposed to walk off stage. There was a certain amount of schtick involved in the concert, as you might expect, but I think we followed Mikey's* rules for Pep Band pretty well (play well, have fun, *look* like you're having fun). I was very tired when I got home after the concert.
Monday I worked 10-6:30p, getting the township hall set up for the election on Tuesday. I got to be IT minion for a bit, as well as a lot of "here, move this" "this other thing goes here" "make sure that this *other* thing is done". (I skipped FCB rehearsal, emailing people on Sunday saying "not happening. There are going to be too many roads closed between here and there." Even leaving work at 5, I would have been hard pressed to make it to a 7:30 rehearsal, much less a 6:30 set-up, because I needed to stop by home and get my gear for rehearsal and feed the cats.) The IT guy says he wants to get me familiarized with some of the setup stuff that he does, just so there are two people who know how to do it. whee? (competency rears its ugly head, right?)
Then Tuesday was the election. They'd decided that the AV board didn't need to show up until noon, as there were just barely 500 ballots to process. Which was nice, because I got to rest a little bit. My back and right leg are still not at all happy with all the standing/moving things/walking I've been doing since last Thursday anyway, and then there's the bruising from the accident.... Didn't get out of the hall until 10 pm, due in part to people telling me "oh, X doesn't go there", putting it somewhere else, and then finding out 30 minutes later that, yes, X *does* go there and then they have to figure out where they put it.
J got home from his bike trip on Monday with a lovely cold picked up somewhere along the route. (COVID test negative.) He's actually been sleeping upstairs in the guest room. (Usually when he's sick *I'm* the one sleeping up there, so this is kinda nice. :) )
My alarm went off at 7am, and I looked at it, said "my 8am appointment is at 3:30 this week" and rolled over and went back to sleep. The cats were annoyed, as they're used to getting noms sometime between 7:30 and 8am. They do seem to have gotten over it, at least a little.
ETA: [insurance company] just called, and the Camry is at the repair shop. She said I should hear from them later today or tomorrow with a timeframe for repair. so that's progressing.
