This week I'm playing The Marriage of Figaro with the Notre Dame Opera - concerts Thursday through Sunday. And it sounds great! Most of the cast and half of the orchestra are undergraduates, and rehearsals and performances are eating up every evening this week, but I'm enjoying myself 100%. It is just such a treat to get to play this music. Everyone is doing a great job and we're having fun. I love my life.
I should be practicing right now. Putting in the hours to prepare for my audition on Monday. But this morning before I left home to teach I chose to use my time making a chicken salad that we could eat for the rest of this busy week, and now after my Notre Dame student I am cheerfully enjoying my lunch at the local coffee house, Zoe snoozing beside me in her car seat. Sometimes it's healthier to use your time taking care of yourself instead of your reeds. Or at least I hope so...
