I loved my Tuesday despite it being a fifteen-hour day. I am tired this morning, but I truly enjoyed yesterday.

At 4:30 PM, I was at Schuster Center prepping paperwork for the arrival of our dedicated and enthusiastic Volunteers who served as our Ushers. “Straight, No Chaser” was outstanding, as usual, and it was great to enjoy their special brand of a cappella music and entertainment. There was also a shoutout to Kettering Fairmont High School’s nationally recognized “Eleventh Hour” who got to spend the afternoon with them prior to the evening’s concert. Schuster Center was sold out for this concert.

This morning, I climbed out of bed thinking it was 6:30 AM. When I checked again, it was only 5:30 AM. The dogs had already roused due to my activity, so I adjusted the morning by letting them out to potty, first, and then feeding them at 6:30 AM. I decided to use that additional hour to rearrange the east side (Shroyer Road) of the kitchen to accommodate a large hard plastic dog crate for Colonel Deeds. Mission accomplished. Now, I am already considering a potential nap to get my body adjusted. I have some peculiar mobility issues pop up the past several days and I am hoping it is just my body requiring more rest. I have pushed it hard this past week with swapping my bedroom and study, doing other things around the house, and the past several days which were longer than usual.

Tonight, I need to be at Schuster Center by 4:30 PM to house manage the Drag Queen Christmas Concert. They will have a pre-concert “meet & greet.”

Make it a great day!
