2010 Daily Ornament Report - 0 harmed; judicious use of the water bottle is paying off.
Pretty good choir practice last night, although I do wish that others would put more energy and life into their singing. I was very, very tired, but I still tried to make the lively songs bright and cheerful and the introspective songs ethereal. It's a downer to hear a bouncy piece of music be sung as a dirge. Or maybe I'm one of the few people who believes that the last practice before a performance should be treated as a dress rehearsal and one should practice as if one were actually performing. To be fair, "The Gloucester Wassail" was just about perfect in temperament. I wish the other lively songs could have been sung similarly. Hopefully we'll do better on Saturday.
I'm still tired this morning. I haven't been walking because of the bitter cold and I definitely feel the absence of that energizing activity. I'm also having a hard time not eating anything that isn't nailed down in the house. Amusingly, I am not going after the bowls of sugar free candy; I want SALT and almonds are my snack of choice at home. Not terrible, I suppose, but I don't feel positive about tomorrow morning's weigh-in.
There are some bright spots ahead. This Saturday's event should be laid back and fairly fun. K&J's Christmas party is Saturday night; I can't wait to see their new house. And Wombikins is in the area on business travel next week. The 'fink and I will take him out for dinner on Thursday. Yay!
Oof. I've got to wrap and ship Tennessee-bound gifts this week.
