Oh yes, the tension has started to build. Only a few more days until my recital. Am I ready? I think so. My dress is done. I'm almost finished with all of the red tape...etc. My music is memorized, but not to the point that I'll zone out and lose my place. Now all I have to do is come up with some vocal inflections and a little bit of drama up there. We'll see how that goes!

I have a dining room table. I actually ate on it. After two years of eating in an armchair, in bed, or on the floor...it was a nice change! It's beautiful -- drop leaf and old! Now I'm avoiding studying for two tests. One midterm, and one test that I simply forgot about. Guess my late paper will never be turned in...I have to get it done. Maybe after my recital

Mom's here. Suddenly my house is clean and I have a plethora of groceries.
