Away again



In the cemetery across the street from where I teach.

It felt weird to drive to the university in broad daylight.  For the past year, I've left home before it's light out in order to teach here.  Today I had time to get up, eat oatmeal with apples and raisins for breakfast, get ready, stop by the post office and THEN get on the road.  I didn't really eat lunch, just some dates and carrots in the car.  Taught some lessons, practiced, ate chili and a sandwich at Atlanta Bread, practiced some more, then came to my hotel room, where I am now hanging out and eating junk food.  It's non-dairy junk food, and it's even within WW points, but I don't really need to be eating it.

I'm starting the application process to go to grad school in the fall.  It's going to make a big mess of my life, but my life is pretty messy, anyway.  I'm scheduling my next four months in weekends: one weekend teaching band camp, one weekend for Albany Symphony, one for Valdosta Symphony, one weekend is my recital, one weekend is a conference in Chattanooga, one is a conference in Savannah, one is band championships in Grand Rapids, and now one will have to be a DMA audition in Virginia.  Two consecutive weekends will be spring break, and I might try to visit John in Texas if I have any money at all.

I'm barely keeping things together right now.
