Our family has been laid low by a nasty virus. I seem to be faring the best, with symptoms receding after almost 2 weeks. My daughter is also regaining health, but is still fussy and lethargic. Hubby is doing very poorly, and has developed a bacterial infection. I am hopeful that the antibiotic will kick in soon, especially since we have a ton of work to do in the garage before the contractor starts.
My Grandpa is funding the garage renovation, which enables my daughter's Make-A-Wish to be granted. This is a huge help to us. We are hopeful that the available extra activities of a sensory gym will broaden her world, which is quite narrow these days.
In other news, I recently was promoted to principal player in my section until the Associate Concertmaster returns from medical leave. This means I sit 4th chair and move up as needed. I am enjoying the challenge, and hope that I am able to be more consistent as I adjust. I need to balance my home life and professional life so that neither suffers. I need to be more prepared than usual for rehearsals, which means more regular and intense practice. I find that on the days I don't practice before a service, I feel very unsteady, and have more hand and arm pain. It's a matter of discipline.
I recently fell in love with a chocolate bar from UK--Yorkie (It's Not for Girls!) It's pure bliss to let a chunk melt in my mouth. Yummmmm....
