Blogmas 2023 Day 4 (basketball game)

A sunny, windy, cold Monday! I woke up disoriented from weird dreams, which in turn made me feel grumpy and stressed. Eventually I got moving and started the work week. I don’t do much work for local clients these days (and really never have, honestly), but today I had an article to write for a local website about the best Atlanta pet sitting options.

The article was straightforward and interesting. When I finished, I had to go back to bed and rest for a little bit. I eventually forced myself to get up and get dressed, choke down some extra meds, and practice voice. In voice, I’m working on Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera and Children Will Listen from Into the Woods. In songwriting, I’m working on fleshing out the structure of a song called Ahead of Myself (lol, my life lately). I’ve been in a major songwriting rut lately, so it felt really good to actually write some music. (Also, these pictures are not staged–my cat jumps on my lap anytime I sit down at the keyboard to sing.)

This evening I decided to go watch my pastor’s youngest daughter’s basketball game. I think this was the second basketball game I’ve ever been to in my life? It’s not the sport for me, haha; it was very chaotic. But I enjoyed visiting with my pastor’s family.

On the way home I swung by my parents’ house to bother/argue with my dad about my current theological/philosophical fixation. I ended up staying for a couple of hours talking with my parents about that, and my love life (lol), and my Christmas shopping misadventures (anybody need a room diffuser?), and all kinds of things. Overall, I had a really good day today!
