This is my life right now.
Christmas decorations in March. Kind of nice to look at as long as you don’t get too close and notice the dust. Or the dorko photographer who managed to get herself in the shot. I wish I could say that waistline was all due to distortion…
Tonight, at about 8:30, I was mid-conversation when the friend I was talking to mentioned a group that meets tonight and I sucked in air so fast I nearly swallowed the phone. Because I remembered that I had been supposed to be there, before that group met, to help some friends rehearse. For a short piece they did for the group. Tonight.
I met with these friends on Saturday, directed them, set up the second rehearsal for tonight, and then?
Gone. Completely off my radar. I never made it. I was having a lovely walk around the lake while Will practiced soccer. Less than 5 minutes away from the REHEARSAL I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT. Yes, I know I ended with a preposition. Least of my worries at this point.
Fortunately, those friends are quite capable and got along wonderfully without me. My sincerest apologies, dear ones. Perhaps as penance I could take some lessons from you all on how to use a calendar. Or a list. Or a sharpie to the forehead.
I’ll get right on that, actually. Just as soon as I get the dust off these Christmas decorations…
I have tried for several years now to get you to use a dang calender. Even bought you one. Oh, well. We managed without you just fine.
It’s not that I don’t WANT to use it – it’s that there is something missing in my brain.
Or, possibly, lots of things. Ha!
