Incredibly hard week, that ended so well. We had to sue a person in court who was paid by state to take care of my Tess, while Mrs K and I could go out. Won that court case on Monday, but our lawyer said we would have to go through garnishment to get our money. Lo and Behold, her lawyer called our lawyer yesterday and offered a payment plan,, which is EXACTLY same plan we offered before court. SO we took it,,Tess will get her money.
Music wise, I learned a 76 page Cantata for Sunday in 8 days to sing with a choir. It was the trade for the choir to sing a song with me as lead, that is on my bucket list. Great group of people, I am having a ball! I do need to sing bass in choir, which is at absolute bottom of my range, and after 4, 2 hr practice s this week, my throat hurts, my stomach hurts(diaphragm). but at least the actual Cantata is only 50 mins long. It has been a great week. no meltdowns,no drinking. A great positive week, once again, I thank you guys too. You are a big part of my successes along this road.

5. Sharing the good news keeps us strong, too.

I heard from my daughter and grandson tonight... a lovely long actual PHONE conversation!

They say young people don't do phone conversations anymore and I'm here ta tellya it ain't true.

Way to go on the Cantata... music heals too.

gratefully,
Bright

6. I thank you all

I have spent last 90 minutes talking to a friend, who is in separation mode from husband, telling me all the things that were going wrong, I listened, sometimes said , I understand, and waited for that one question I need to hear. " ok, what do you think" my answer was " I knew what I think 80 minutes ago. you two are putting your children in between you guys. period,,take the children out and you 2 talk" It is my new patience and what I have learned. Today just got even better, she listened to me . Karma, Religion, Family, quite frankly, will end up being the right road. my Old guy says ,,it is never the easiest road.
ty all.

Sunday and I am home at 850pm EST.. My "big day" is done . 3 Christmas cantatas today. Same Cantata but 3 different churches. Last 2 churches I had to go to lead bass, as the other got sick. Not my normal key. Quite frankly ,we made it,I did not screw up, honestly, I think it took alot of pressure off me. Director told me ,,don't sing melody in baritone,,sing the bass and lay the foundation. I am so pumped up because it calmed me and I am so so good right now. 1 week ago ,I had never sung with a choir ,only lead vocals and my piano for Tess. In 8 days, I learned a full cantana, and got asked last minute to change my key. Mrs K said we rocked all 3!!,, Ty all once again Du friends!
