Catching Up
A hodgepodge of things happening in my world...
- Got our taxes done...finally...good thing, too, since we learned we're actually getting a refund this year. Woohoo! Now I can pay off all these freakin' medical bills we've had lately...and put more into the remaining debt we have. If any's left over, I may even get some work done on my Mustang.
- Kids remain sick. Took them to the doc. Now they're on medication, but Zachary had more lab work done for his growth failure and he still has a fever related to an ear infection that he was diagnosed with on Monday. Weird. Lab work all came back negative (which is a good thing, but means his slow growth remains a mystery - other than family history). Kailyn has an ear infection, too. Oh, joy. My throat's been scratchy today. Let's hope it's the result of the high pollen count instead of something else attacking my system (Dana's flu started out with a scratchy throat. -Sigh-).
- Playing at Java Jaay in a week from Friday. That will be the first play-out opportunity we've had in a while. Had an impromptu rehearsal tonight at church. This time, the band will be Jeremy, Jack, Eric, and myself to shake things up (Eric's lined the whole thing up). We get the whole 2 hours to play. We're sticking with a mostly acoustic coffeehouse-type setup (Java Jaay is a coffeehouse, after all). Jeremy's going to play just a small jazz kit and djembe. I'm on acoustic. Had our first rehearsal for it tonight. It's a real challenge to 'acoustic-ize' a lot of our songs ("My Glorious" sounded weird done acoustic, but we managed to create a neat vibe with it). I hope it goes well... If nothing else, it will be fun...
...
Those are the key things happening right now. Overall, I feel very overwhelmed by everything, though. Having sick kids as constant background 'noise' (and I don't mean that to sound void of compassion) makes everything pretty chaotic. I had a lot to get done this week for church, and spending an unexpected 3.5 hours at my kids' pediatrician on Monday didn't help make that happen. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
