Paciencia y Fe, patience and faith

Today is Friday and we’ve completed our second week at home. I played a lot of piano this morning. It was fun to work through some pieces, practice, clean, refine and just play. When I’m teaching full time, I don’t always get to sit and play for me. The next time we place an Amazon order, I’m going to order music from a few musicals that I love!

Lunch was leftovers! I love leftovers, especially during a busy workweek. I’m well known for making large dishes for dinner just so we can have leftovers for lunch or busy weeknights.

Lucy got another walk downtown today. Downtown Brighton is so eerily quiet. It’s sad to walk by Imagination Station and not hear kids scream with joy or watch them run around playing chase. Great Harvest is still open but it isn’t buzzing with customers. My favorite cheese shop is open on the weekend for pick up orders. It’s nice to see the owners and give them a wave as we walk by.

Anyway, Lucy took the idea of I’m taking my humans on a walk, to the extreme today. She decided we were just going to cross the street! Traffic??? Who cares??? She was pretty upset that I made her wait to make sure we could cross. It was pretty funny; she had a new route for us as well. I guess the garden in front of Ciao Amici’s is her new pooping spot.

Today was another Davisburg Staff meeting. It was great to see everyone again and learn more about our new normal. I am ready to start teaching again, even if it will look quite different.

Dinner was….. leftovers!!!! We had things in the fridge that needed to be eaten. One of my friends from college, Anthony Cooperwood, is a musician in Montreal. He has been playing live every Friday night from 5-10pm. We listened to him as we ate dinner. It felt like we were actually at a restaurant. We were all eating different foods, it was pretty funny. Quite a few friends from Truman have been listening too, it feels like a reconnection so to speak. Just to see familiar names and faces from years ago! One of my friends commented, it’s just like we’re at a “band lecture”.

Anyway, keep washing your hands, staying home and practicing social distancing. I think the covid-19 situation in Michigan will grow worse this week. Hopefully after that, the situation will improve… Take care friends and thanks for reading!
