It’s a grey Tuesday morning but the eastern light is pushing through. The next several days are expected to bounce back and forth between the upper 50s and mid 60s. I hope my legs feel cooperative enough to walk the dogs in shifts.

I’ve been wide awake since 4:30 AM after being awakened by a bad dream. All the components matched up with a conversation I had with a studio parent. I considered getting up at 6 AM but was pinned into my covers by three pooches who had no intention of rising.

I never get to see concerts on Sundays, Mondays, or Tuesdays due to my teaching schedule. I miss the Springboro Symphony Band and Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra concerts on Sundays, and a lot of school concerts on Mondays and Tuesdays. When a former studio parent, Mary (Hutcheson) Moenter sent me tickets to The Miami Valley Community Concert Association’s Monday (March 20^th) concert, DIVAS3, I figured it would not be possible. However, all my students after 7 PM were in dress rehearsals for upcoming shows or in concerts. Even my ride to Centerville worked out since my last student was neighbors with the senior studio mom who joined me for the concert. The show was outstanding and not a minute was dull. This trio, with one being a Dayton native, covered female powerhouse performers from the 1960s through the 1990s with a tip of the hat to the 2000s with “Let It Go” from FROZEN.

The FabFive was excited to see me, and we spent the remainder of the evening in my study as I worked on a few items before heading to bed at midnight.

Tomorrow, I hope to attend a lacrosse game with a former student, providing the weather obliges. The weekend is filled with a musical, and out-of-town guests that I invited.

Make it a great day!
