Woke up a bunch of times before the alarm this morning

I hate waking up in the morning, looking at the alarm clock and seeing it's 45 minutes until it goes off. Just long enough to settle in but not really long enough for good sleep.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh man, y'all. All this talk of choruses reminded me that my sister texted me the other night that Milwaukee Symphony Chorus director got arrested for "performing a sex act" in front of officers in a sting operation in the county parks.

alas, no mayhem.

never fear, there may be another chance later. I view my roll here much like an NPR pledge drive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woke up a bunch of times before the alarm this morning. One time was because the phone rang at 5:30, but the other times were for no apparent reason. Ugh.

I was super tired last night so when I went to bed I set my alarm for 15 minutes late than usual, thinking it wasn't much but it might help. So of course I woke up an hour before I usually get up. I actually felt pretty well-rested (if aggravated) at that point, but now I am super tired again.

Oh well, tomorrow night I can just sleep until I wake up and go back to sleep if that isn't enough.

Glad your Dad was found quickly, Jesse. When do you move, isn't it soon?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yep, end of the month. I have got to start finding boxes! And then packing. Of course it was raining all afternoon, so today was a no-go on that front.

Too bad I can't teleport all the empty boxes cluttering up my garage to you. Many of them with packing material!

Of course, if we could teleport stuff around, you probably wouldn't need boxes to move.

Why am I getting the red squiggle for teleport? Looks right to me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I recommend Berklee's The Contemporary Singer by Anne Peckham. It's a self-study book with lots of great vocal technique info, but importantly, it comes with a disc that has excellent, directed vocal exercises in two ranges. I've copied the exercises over to my phone and I wander around in parking lots warming up before I perform. It's pretty great and also you get to have random late-comers to the show looking at you weirdly.

That would be so awesome, OMG.
