Waking up around 11:30 a.m.

 

Oatmeal with Cinnamon, Strawberries, and Almond Milk. Scottish Breakfast Tea.

 

Got quite a few afternoon lessons at Music Makers – and so does Rebecca.

 

Afterwards, Allyson shows up and volunteers to help Rebecca and I give the back lesson room a big makeover – we prepare the room, taking everything off the walls and filling the holes with spackling. Then, painting everything that Calypso blue that matches the band room. It’s literally an all day endeavor, but with three people it makes it a lot easier.

 

Somewhere in the mix while running back and forth from the store and painting I eat a Tuna Salad Sandwich from Panera with Coffee.

 

Finally, after 11 at night we finish up. We’ll have to put on a second coat tomorrow night.

 

Back home, Ana and I get into a stressful episode. All these feelings about me putting all my energy into the business and not feeling included in helping with things like today really play a role in her stress. I’m already feeling overwhelmed with all the things still left to do so it’s really a lot. At some point I’m able to sit down with her at the table and enjoy some Quiche and Salad.

 

One more thing to do is drive over to the ELO spot and set up for the dance classes and Broadway auditions.
