Down with the Funk
In short, I feel terrible this morning. Though my throat is not sore at the moment (thankfully), I feel like there's this huge glob of gunk setting camp between my ear canals and my trachea. Oh, joy. I managed to make it through rehearsal last night, but it was exhausting to try to sing with all this stuff going on. Looks like a day of as much rest as possible (which ain't easy with 2 kids and some errands I need to run)
Oh, well...
Life has gotten so busy lately, and the demands of work are going up (which is a good thing, actually...the more I have to do, generally the more productive I become...weird). In addition to the Sunday morning music, I'm trying to help Kenny get the youth music program off to a start, too. He's got some teens interested in singing, playing guitar, etc... To me, it's not a 'separate' ministry from the Sunday morning program. After all, these teenagers will be the guys who one day will fill the room during the Sunday morning program (a lot of them already do). Why not invest in them now? It's good for them, and it's good for me as I strive to remain relevant in my worship as I lead across generations...
On a related note: Glad I read Kyle's blog this a.m. Now I know that I need Jack to play again next week on guitar...heh.
...
I have to replace my glasses ASAP (hopefully today, if I can feel well enough to go out and about). They're a little beat up, but the lenses have gotten ridiculously scratched in the past month or so. Don't quite know how that happened...it seemed to happen overnight. In any case, it's been like having a permanent smudge on both lenses that won't wipe off. I've been trying to wear contacts again, but I can still need glasses as I can't keep my contacts in ALL day (my eyes just dry out too bad).
...
This weekend, I hopefuly will get the carburetor back in the Mustang. It's been soaking in cleaner all week, so it ought to be good as new when I put it back in the car. Then it's on to ball joints, etc.
If I can get the wheels/tires taken care of, I'll drive it a bit here and there but I really want to yank the engine out and get it rebuilt. Sure, I could risk driving it (and it may go forever...or 100 feet...I just don't know), but I'd like to not do permanent damage to the J-code 302 engine block that's in the car.
I've got dreams of making that car into a great daily driver that I could throw the kids in the back and cruise around in. Money is obviously an obstacle, patience is a necessity, and help from people who know what they're doing has been a 'must-have' in this endeavor.
One day...
