kayreWoke up with a migraine this morning. Drugs are barely keeping it at bay-- but since my migraine drugs involve huge amounts of caffeine, I’m getting tons done during the highs.
One of my goals last month, passed forward to this month, is to get all my music manuscripts cleaned up and submitted to either my publisher or my choir directors, depending on type (3 organ manuscripts, 2 choral, at this point). I never got started; and the mess in my studio/office was a major contributing factor. So I’ve been telling myself to spend 15 minutes per day cleaning that room-- and procrastinating that too. This morning I finally got fed up, and did the cleaning first. 15 minutes got the studio side clean enough to work, and made a small start on the desktop mess. As a bonus, I found a clean copy of one composition for which I’ve lost the final computer file-- this’ll make recreating a clean copy much easier.
Then I went to practice, and did a tiny bit of composing-- a descant to a hymn for Sunday. (Gotta do something to make 6 verses less boring!) Got it entered into my computer program already, so I can print it before practice tomorrow.
Other than that... shopped for necessary stuff, loaded the appliances for dinner (minestrone soup and Italian herb bread), packed away the nativity, mailed some bills, did a bit of embroidery. Not bad, considering that the migraine hasn’t entirely let go. Time to put my feet up for an hour or two.
