That was only last week, and I’m trying to remember just what we did.
Let’s see…(looking for June in the Day Timer) Oh….Elegante Mother and I had the chance to hear the Glen Miller Band on Sunday. One of my exercise friends had four tickets and only needed two. She called to see if Dear Husband and I would like to join them. Of course, we all know that DH was out on Lake Michigan on a Sunday, but I asked if Elegante Mother could come in his place. No problem!
EM and I left the house about 45 minutes before the concert was scheduled to start and headed downtown. I decided to do valet parking because EM doesn’t do distance walking any longer. We hopped out at the theater and walked right inside. Our seats were on the end of the row, not far from the door. We had excellent sight-lines, and the sound was fine.
They played many of the songs Glen Miller was known for, and a few that I’d never heard. Four band members joined the two singers for several songs, and there were the usual solos The only song they didn’t play that I would have enjoyed was “American Patrol.” Many of the musicians played more than one instrument, and the man who played the clarinet had a particularly nice sound.
At the end of the performance, we were among the first to leave the theater, and among the first to get our car. I had to wait for a bit to edge out into traffic, but it was smooth sailing. I’m glad my dear friend thought to invite us.
The rest of the week was filled with appointments and office work. Monday, we had a visit with the CPA; Tuesday morning EM and I did our annual dermatologist visit, and DH saw the dentist. Wednesday, my hairdresser took pity on me and fit me in for a perm. We didn’t realize it, but my appointments had only been made through May, so while the perm was processing, I sat with the manager and organized appointments for the rest of the year. Thursday, we returned so that EM could get her hair and nails done before we left for Indiana, and my niece’s graduation.
When I was working on the preparations for the Exercise brunch, I’d missed some office time, so around all the appointments, and into the evening, I worked at my desk. I just finished four stacks of filing that were the results of all that work. Filing……my favorite job. (rolling my eyes).
Early Friday came, and I packed (sorta) and we headed off to Indiana. Remind me to pack the night before we go, next time. I left my shampoo and the curling iron on the dressing room counter. And, as usual, I took things I didn’t use. DH says I take the kitchen sink along, but I’d like to point out that we only needed ONE suitcase for the three day trip!
I know the week doesn’t sound like much, but I was glad I wasn’t driving. I snoozed for 30 minutes or so on the way to Nan’s. Peace at last.
