But today is Thursday and, while not terribly interesting, here is what the day looked like:
- I'm still waiting for Doreen the dove to hatch her babies. It should be happening any minute. She is completely faithful. She often gives me hateful looks while I'm watering my plants out front though.
- I gave several piano lessons. They were delightful. My favorite conversation from the lessons went thusly: Me - How was your week? Student - Stressful. My sister just got home from Belgium and I forgot that she hates me.
- My parents popped in while I was giving lessons and were kind enough to wait around while I finished up my lessons. Then they took me to the fair. They paid my entrance fee. They bought me lunch. Clearly, I am still seven years old. And they let me drag them through every single animal barn. I loved every second.
- I came home and decided I needed to learn how to play the guitar. I have done many awkward things with my hands in my piano playing career but I have never done anything as awkward as trying to play a C chord on the guitar. And I have felt pain while playing the piano but at least the surface of the piano keys never feels like trying to make music on a cheese slicer. Those strings are a bit ouchy.
- Currently, the dog is sleeping on the living room rug, Brian is sleeping on the couch "watching" a Cubs game, and I'm checking in with ya'll.
- Tomorrow - a morning walk and some garage saling with a friend. Here's hoping your summer is finding you enjoying some easy living as well.
