One thing that needs to end is medical garbage. I have a severe nerve injury from a serious fall years ago. I went to wally world yesterday with intentions on going to my local knitting group luncheon. I bent over at wally world to check the price of an item. POP! Uh-oh! My back went out. I gently tried to straighten up and that was not a good thing. I managed to get back to the car. The pain is horrible. I called my specialist in the city. Now keep in mind I really like this doc but when he asked (among many other questions) "where's the family support system that we spoke about in the last visit?" (eyeroll here) I wanted to ask if he was living in a disillusioned world. Seriously, he did talk with the hubby and me concerning a complete family unit support. I lived in that disillusionment for approximately one day until I finally came to realization, "it ain't happenin'". At least not outside this little adobe. I have an appointment next week to see where this little medical scenerio will lead.
Tonite is the band banquet and I'm going if I go on a guerney. LOL The tickets are purchased, the scrapbook is finished and it's the very last banquet ever for me. This is one of those things I wish would never end. I enjoyed attending all of my kids' performances but this is it. I'm not much of a sports fan so I was fortunate that all of my kids were into music in one form or another.
Here's the DD playing her 10 minute (yes, 10 minutes) solo. On a serious note, no one wants to hear a kid play a solo for 10 minutes except the parents:). The piece was Concertino By Chanimade in a Level 6 (the most difficult level available). She nailed it! Her tone was awesome, her fingers literally flew over the keys. Chan & Jessi, you both need to know that the band director applauded her and gave her a compliment on stage. Upon hearing of her performance we received a phone call from Alderson-Broaddus College offering several flute scholarships. They have heard her previously when she played in their Honor Band performance and the director has called several times.
The kids formed a steel drum unit and Miss Flute DD was on lead pan. I enjoy listening to the steel drums and they have made such an impression with audience members from the previous performances they now have gigs for the summer.I'm going to make a special effort to attend local school performances in the future. What else do I have to do? Driving distances will be reserved to visit the DD at college and medical garbage so attending anything fun is out of the question.
How many times have I told this dog, "not on the furniture, Mr. Bettis." And yet, this is where I found him this morning. Keep in mind, this is one thing that I have no disillusionment on ever being corrected therefore I have placed an old beach towel on the loveseat. Notice he is not making a move to get down.I will be on the DD's laptop computer today while resting the back so I will try to catch up on emails and blogs.
