I'm watching random DVDs and typing on Notepad b/c my cable and internet are both down (comes from same company). Thing is, I doubt my bill-paying memory when that type of thing happens. i come home and think "Did I pay that bill? I'd better check before I report an outage and embarrass myself!" This time, though, I couldn't do that, b/c we are billed electronically instead of by mail. Since I can't get onto the internet, I have to take a wild guess. Luckily, my memory is not that bad, since they said there is a "local outage" and the problem has already been reported. 2nd thing is, it has been four hours or more now LOL. I'm bound by technology!

I got off early today to go to BHS for their practice. It went really well... we got another movement finished today. Only one left and we'll be ready to perfect the little things - it's just in time for our first competition.

However, I started having heat exhaustion or something! My heart was racing, my head was pounding horribly, I couldn't breathe, and I felt dizzy and neauseated. I thought I was going to pass out! I didn't really feel much better by the time practice was over, so I decided to skip out. I had my music with me, of course, so I had to show up anyway and bring it. I apologized over and over... I really did feel bad about leaving the 2nd practice of the year. I tried to redeem myself by dividing up the new music for the night. My conductor kept asking me if I was ok (I think my face was still flustered), and I said yes, but I really didn't feel a change at all by then.

I came home and tried to clean up the apartment a little (ongoing struggle here), but that didn't work out very well. I chilled on the couch for awhile, prompting the non-working cable discovery. Blah.

So, I've been watching girly-girl movies - Mean Girls first, then 13 Going on 30. What am I, 13 years old too? Geez.
Josh finally has all four available seasons of Smallville. I can't keep him from the DVD player when we're home together - LOL!

I'm bored - that's pretty sad considering all of the distractions we have around here. Especially considering I need to be practicing the clarinet/sax parts for the high school show. Since my primary instrument is flute/piccolo, I have to really work at the others... what we musicians call "taking it to the woodshed."

I could still be cleaning as well. I plan on inviting the woodwind kids over to our apartment before the first competition, so I'd better get started!
