ffloDang if my planned trip isn't coming up soon, particularly considering that we've got a chorus show before then. At least I think I've got the lyrics down for all 3 verses of Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing.
Made great progress in the bedroom with my day off on Wednesday. There's now a pretty clear path to the litter box for my catsitter, at least. And I changed the sheets. Came up with a trashbag of clothes to donate, and three piles to wash, eventually. Guess I'll have that waiting for me in a few weeks. Just need to get the black clothes for the show ready, plus anything I want to take with me.
Went into the office yesterday for the visiting VIP tours. None of them chose to go 'round during the 8:00 to 9:30 window, so I'd gotten in at practically the crack of dawn for nuthin' but the better coffee and trying to tell which are the home-office leaders among the caterers. Will be going in next week for a demo of the new conference room set-up (with a sports-bar-caliber four [4!] monitors), and then again a couple of days later to run a hybrid meeting from there. But even the CDC (with its hospitlized-percentage factor that can skew things weirdly to the "safe", in its "community" calculations) now considers it COVID-risky around here. And my trip's destination seemed to be coming down in transmissions, but has dropped only a smidge over several days. Still, they too have students who will leave town soon, or just have, and that's always good for the townies, yes?
Heard from my friend who's teaching in France again. I used to never hear from her when she was there, and that seemed weird, given all the communication things one has now--- had me figuring she'd be the sort I'd fall out of touch with pretty thoroughly if one of us moved to another town. Then when the virus came it was like she was in France. She's an odd bird, in her own variety of ways, and rather fascinating, to me.
Let's see. What else. I guess I should get back to work, actually. Just did some tracking down of things that fell through cracks, but now really should turn to the trainee I'm working with, who's about to become a trainee no longer.
Oh, I'm still getting over the physical combo of overdoing it physically on my day off and then getting little to no sleep that night. Going to bed way early last night wasn't enough. Could this just be old age, this difficulty bouncing back? Could it be virus stored in my many cells, or aftereffects thereof? Should I have another cup of coffee? Probably not, on that last one. Coffee only does so much.
I think taking it easy today, with an early morning rehearsal tomorrow, is probably the way to go. Hard to persuade myself that that's really okay, however. There's so much to do. Who am I to sit in a chair and, like, watch the next episodes of Hacks tonight instead of go-getting?
