Hi Ladies. I've got to apologize for being absent and a HUGE slacker when it comes to our journey. I have been so wrapped up with festivals, concerts and trying to finish some major Christmas presents (knitted) that I've not been walking or actively planning healthy meals. I have had some success in maintaining most of what I'd accomplished this summer but I really want to get moving somehow.
I am having to face some interesting things. I will probably not finish any of the knitted gifts in time for Christmas. :(
I will experience my first concert as a chorus AND BAND director tomorrow night. I'm a little worried about some wrong notes and rhythms here and there, a bit worried about the staging going smoothly and a LOT worried about the sound issues. I really miss the days when I had a band director to share the load with and work together with. Now there's no one to do any of it but me and I feel as if I'll never do any of it well, again. I wish I knew how to give the kids what they need but they'll have to settle for the best I can do in these circumstances.
I've purchased some gifts for my 10 nieces, but not done any other shopping or decorating and I already feel like the season is getting away from me.
I'm going to have to really get organized and get going. I'm also glad to report that I had my Dr.'s visit today and there is no damage to my vocal chords! :) Hurray! She actually thinks that most of my issues and pain are from the Lyme Disease and that I've had it much longer than we knew. I've got a few new rules to follow for better vocal health but I'm thrilled. I've really be so scared that I'd be in trouble here and am so relieved tonight!
Take care everyone!
Christine
