jennlkexcept for the garden stuff -- it's been too cold and damp to get out there. There are currently snowflakes blowing around, so I think I'm done in the garden for a while.
I had vague plans of putting the lights on the trees this weekend, but those were scuppered by a)the weather is predicted to be cold/snowy/windy and b)at least one string of lights is now in the trash because it's not worth fixing.
I did get the 2024 election stuff moved to the basement cabinets, and the 2025 stuff into the file cabinets, and the shelf into basement storage. If the weather isn't too horrible next week, I should move the last bits of election stuff out of the shed and into the basement as well. I was reminded by the state that I need to recertify myself as an election administrator before the end of the year. meh. (It's all online, I just have to log in and *do* it.) BC and I spent an hour yesterday figuring out why a line-item was over budget (we did find it -- the Sup asked a provider to itemize their bill, and while it's now easier to track maintenance/new service/support, there was no corresponding change made in the budget, so some items are over and others under).
The second week of BSax at Livingston went much better. Unfortunately, I think that one of my main problems will be the other BSax players.... It's hard to get rhythms correct when the other people in the section are doing them incorrectly. c'mon people, it's a bog-standard mambo bass line. it's not that hard. Nor is counting to 6. One of them didn't notice until halfway through rehearsal that there were no tuba players. um, how can you not notice that?! I noticed it on the second note of the warmup chorale (and I'm wearing earplugs). (and this is the main issue with the Livingston band. They don't listen!)
