Tues 2 Dec

Looking forward to the new tea of the day today. I like this "Advent calendar" system. Enjoying that the first part of the week is quiet, given that we have choir concert obligations Thurs through Sun. We are missing a couple of smaller choir gigs the following weekend when we will be in Amana. Too bad, so sad. We have reservations for a bluegrass holiday concert in Amana that Saturday evening. Sadly, we qualified for senior tickets. Oh well, $3 saved is $3 in our pockets. Got a thank you note today from Michele for the get well card we sent. She sounds like she is keeping her spirits up. Our newest coworker is mysteriously out on leave for at least a couple of weeks per an email from the boss today. No one is sure if it is health-related, personal issues, or perhaps a suspension. They aren't likely to tell us, either.
