Sunday was a productively long day. Leaves were blown. Lunches were prepped. A kitchen was cleaned… somewhat. Music was prepped for the week’s lessons.

We were needing to make a slight adjustment to the times for next Sunday’s lessons. My first two Sunday students thought it was for yesterday and completely missed their lesson. Fortunately, we headed the others off at the pass before they missed last evening’s lessons for next week’s adjusted lesson times. Then, the Door Dash delivery of my hot and sour soup, which I use as a soup base, was screwed up on delivery time, arriving an hour late and into my lesson. One student came an hour early which actually worked to both our advantages as my 7:30 PM Zoom lesson was canceled at the very last minute. During a ten-minute break, I attempted to order tickets online for Laura and me to see The Dayton Theatre Guild’s BROADWAY BOUND and I mistakenly ordered for the wrong day. That was fixed.

So, at 11:30 PM and my wonky day was done. While it was still productive, I was dodging curve balls and resetting the schedule as it developed.

I return to The Park on Wednesday but will be teaching from 4:00 PM to 11:30ish PM today and Tuesday.

Today, I am hoping to get a few items completed around the house, which includes bringing in the umbrellas from the deck.

It is on the upward swing to 8:00 AM and I want to get started on the day so I can rest up a bit before teaching.

Make it a great day!
