days_unfoldingWoke up a little after 7 AM. Got in the shower early and got my makeup on for our holiday celebration this morning at work.
The White Elephant gift exchange was fun. I "stole" a bobble-head of Jane Austen, which would be great for my library room, and wound up with it. That got me wondering if there are bobble-heads of other famous authors. There are on eBay! I foresee a collection.
I emailed in sick for a half-day because I was dizzy and took a nap. Slept for an extra hour than I had intended.
My singing lesson was amazing. We were doing warmups when she told me to imagine that I was a stereotype of an opera singer singing Wagner. And my voice completely opened up! It had some power to it! We were practicing Christmas carols because I didn't have anything that I needed to practice, and she told me to sing with that voice. So I did. She said, "You found your voice!" She is worth every penny that I pay her. I've learned more with her than I did with several teachers before her.
Fed us all. I want to go to bed soon so that I get up early and get to the post office.
