Hi Cathy! Yes, I'm still taking cello lessons and still in cello choir. So sometimes finding time to practice everything is a challenge! The guitar is just for fun, and 2 of us, who were in the 6 week summer guitar introductory class, decided to continue together into the Fall.
Thursday possibilities:
--zoom exercise ✅ Seated Strength 15'
--declutter
--grocery run
--practice 🎻
--practice dance
--get outside!
--wind down earlier!
Be well!
Carol

I realized last night that I forgot to make my list for Friday and I did get a lot done. I told my piano teacher that my last class will be 11/15 so we made a plan of what I would keep working on. Then I had dinner with my previous intern who was so sweet to bring me flowers and treat me to dinner.
Weekend possibilities:
—declutter (my pantry needs a quick clean up)
—keep working on craft project for church👻
—practice🎹
—read through changes of medical coverage
—update budget
—clean up hotspots
Sunday:
—church👻
—possibly pick up bread for mission👻
—read how to make a text list without everyone seeing others numbers

Cathy, you are definitely a special person & I'll bet you have been a great mentor. I am so glad you were treated! Did you want a different teacher for your piano lessons?
I did enjoy Tap class Friday, stopped at Old House to pay lawn guy (1/2 in advance...hope I won't regret it...) for mowing, and had a good cello lesson in the afternoon. Beautiful weather, went for a long walk before dinner & saw 3 deer in someone's backyard, cavorting and munching grass. I wondered if they were the same 3 that were in our backyard a couple days ago...but I guess they often tend to come in 3s, usually a mama and 2 young.
Weekend possibilities:
--WW studio ✅
--coffee & danish takeout (self reward for going to WW studio, oops, 😉) ✅
--buy card and gift card for friend's b'day ✅
--walk or zoom workout
--declutter 15'
--drive out to friend's b'day dinner & video night
--wind down!!
--church
--walk
--practice 🎻
--declutter 15'
--wind down earlier!
Be well!
Carol

Carol, not sure if you’ll see this but yes, I am looking for a new piano teacher. Ever since my teacher realized I was a counselor, he started telling me a lot of his personal problems and I’m not comfortable with it. Especially since it’s usually during the lesson I’m paying for it.
