The kidlet sold Rodeo Queen tonight.. the pastel drawing from which I took this userpic. The new owners cheerfully agreed to let her borrow it back for shows for the next year. It's her first sale!

Yes, I’m very proud of her!

Haven’t posted much lately, so I suppose I should catch up. Let’s see.... Sunday went very well, even the duets which the pianist and I practiced together once each (okay, we did the offertory twice). Christmas music is pretty well in hand; I’ll practice early tomorrow, and then try to nap to be fresh for three services in a row. Luckily my personal masseuse (the kidlet) will be available to keep the ankle flexible; I’ll probably take my ice pack along too (and maybe a Darvocet for after the last postlude?). Associate pastor has even informed me of the hymn selections for the 9:00 service, but of course the senior pastor hasn’t completed the 7:00 or 11:00 bulletins yet.

Christmas shopping is finished, since my Amazon order arrived today; the horse is getting better; travel plans are more or less in place. In short, I have the illusion that life is Under Control at the moment.. which is probably a sign of impending doom, or at least the inevitable approach of Murphy.
