- I am sick today. I caught a cold this weekend and today I am stuffed up and coughing and achey. Hopefully, I will be over it by Christmas.
- This weekend was concert weekend! (So of course I caught a cold.) I decided that, since I am not required to sing for weeks afterwards, I would bully my way through it and perform anyway. I think it went really well. (Also several people told me that they love watching me sing, which is a very nice compliment.) And now I have a break till after the holidays.
- I know a lot of people don't really like western Washington in the winter, because we get a lot of rain, but I was driving to work this morning and everything was muted browns and greens and greys, with the frost on the leafless branches and the remains of the grass and scattered on the roofs of houses and barns. The sky was full of clouds but they were shining with the sun behind them, reflected white on the water, and off on the horizon were blue shadow mountains and the tall straight poles of the Douglas firs. I saw a big hawk - or maybe an eagle - roosting on a oak tree and I thought that I couldn't imagine any place more beautiful than here.
- I think I might be very wicked and call in sick tomorrow. I don't feel like it's really necessary but my family has always been of the opinion that you work until you can't anymore and really, that's silly. I have a lot of sick leave and no one wants me here to cough at them.
