Yesterday was full of outlook outages and Jensen Huang jokes. It looks like for me Outlook IS back (and I really don’t use it much, but still) but not for everybody. We’ll see what the day brings, as more people in the US get to work. Fun fact: not everybody in the US lives on Eastern or Pacific Time.

I am typing this post quickly and early, because I have to get to the gym before a Loooooong day of teaching at the college. Then one home student. Also there’s a zoom meeting over my lunch break. SIGH. The good thing is that tonight we are going to the aforementioned play (in my previous post, so you can look back) and then tomorrow I ONLY have a studio recital for work related things.

I would say, yay, I can sleep in, but no, I have made plans to meet a friend for brunch. Which is worth it, plus would I really sleep in? Who knows, I haven’t tried in a long time. Maybe over Thanksgiving.

For the recital, I just printed a draft of the recital program. I’ve got 19 students performing, which is a good number. I’ve had recitals with more or less, and honestly, this recital snuck up on me. Some students are well prepared, others will be flying by the seat of their pants, some because they don’t practice and others because we tried to learn the pieces in a shorter amount of time (less common). It will be a fun day nonetheless! And then I can relax for a few hours before we go to another play, which is also still relaxing.

Sunday morning I have a church job, and then we hope to do a hike in the afternoon before we lose daylight, which happens quite early this time of year (sunset starts at 4:48 pm) but still gives plenty of time. Sunday evening is gloriously free. We have plans to prep some food for lunches this week, I got sweet potatoes and beets and they will need roasting (thinking of having them over rice with a few other things and a tahini dressing).

Do you have weekend plans? Do my plans make you exhausted or invigorated, or both? I’m off to gym, but love reading your comments.
