christmas concert
Dec. 15th, 2018 02:12 pm
My mom and Carl did some traveling this week. They passed through and dropped off a giant kennel for me in anticipation of my xmas puppy, before continuing down to visit my little brother for the occasion of the birth of his second child - named Kamden, which is not awful. I don't get to see my brothers much, and it usually doesn't bother me, but I've been thinking more about trying to get to know his kids better while they're little.
Then they came back up to spend Thurs night with me, unfortunately I had to work until 0400, so I was kinda lagging on Friday when I took them out to breakfast and then shopping around town. Fri night was the community band christmas concert. It's my favorite -> pretty music, usually easy enough to play, often get to play REALLY LOUD, and family comes to watch. Usually Dad and Jan come, but they didn't want to commingle with Mom and Carl, so they're planning to come down for a basketball game later. I like hanging out with Mom and Carl, but I did just spend a week with them in New Orleans, so I really missed the chance for a slightly less aggressive visit with Dad. Also I had to sleep with the temp set on 66 for two whole nights, a full 12 degrees hotter than normal. So hot.
Anyway, I'm enjoying having a clean house, and hopefully I'll be able to keep it clean and finish puppy-proofing it.
In somewhat related, but not entirely, news, these are truths I hold self-evident:
1. flush with the toilet seat down
2. if you must park on the curb, park on the curb in front of your own damn house
3. audience members in a concert where the band is recording live should not attempt to clap along with the beat
4. insulated lunch bags should not go in the refrigerator, it's redundant, gross, and takes up too much space
Finally, got the super great news that the measly 2.5% raise we were expecting in January is a no go because the state is broke and the university is more interested in athletics than the rest of us. I hate everything.
