So I just told my boss that I'm not coming in today. He was understanding. We struggle with communication but he does give me flexibility with my schedule and I appreciate that.
Now I need to focus on actual self care, getting some healthy food and doing stuff around the house and go do yoga, so I can be ready come Monday.
Total band geek stereotypes. But the clarinet section usually has more girls, and gay boys, while the sax section is more full of somewhat charming but kind of asshole dudes (...Bill clinton plays sax). ...but that's just stereotypes :) Sax is generally going to seem "cooler" than clarinet.
{{{smonster}}} I hope you are able to take good care of you this weekend, and that Monday is easier.
I played the Tenor sax for about seven years.
My advice would be for him to learn an instruments that can play chords, like piano or guitar.
I have a friend whose mom (a musician) steered him away from saxophone and towards less popular instruments. He ended up playing the bassoon. Because there was a much smaller pool to choose from, he got to play in the statewide youth orchestra for several years and lots of other cool things.
Calm~ma for your Lasix today, Suzi.
~ma of whatever kind will help you through this tough time, smonster.
msbelle, lots of good vibes for the strength to help your parents through healing from this surgery.
I tooknow clarinet in middle school. I wanted to be assigned sax but I don't think any girls were. Or percussion but I know there were no girls on percussion.
I liked playing the clarinet.
Healing~ma for your dad, msbelle.

The clarinet would be lighter to schlep around than the sax.
Completely frivolous, but if anybody happened to wonder about Hillary's lip color:

Thanks, y'all.
So far I have called Costco to refill my contacts, paid a credit card bill, sent three emails I needed to, and cleaned the trashcan with bleach (we have a fly problem). Next is eating lunch, then maybe some errands. Also have laundry to do and more pictures to hang, and I REALLY need to go to a yoga class.
