I woke up a little before 9 this morning, but since Lucy and Oliver were still sleeping I decided to stay in bed and work on some design stuff. I still do sermon series slides and other random stuff for my old church sometimes. I think working in bed is great...if I had a business run out of my home I would probably just get a bunch of those lap desks and put a filing cabinet and a refrigerator beside the bed. Either that or I could teach Lucy to go get me Diet Cokes out of the kitchen. I finished up what I was doing a little after 10 and got ready for the day.
Lucy didn't bother me much to go on a walk today, and it was pretty evident she wasn't feeling great with all the hacking and moping around, so I figured we'd skip the daily walk for a little while. I ate lunch around 11 and then headed to work not too long after that.
Work wasn't really too fun today, although I knew it wouldn't be which I think just made it worse. I spent the whole day cleaning up the closets from Jingle Jazz and then tearing down and setting up the stage. Tearing down from Jingle Jazz is enough work by itself, but then this week there is choir and orchestra, which is a huge setup. I got a break from setting up at 6 when Joe was ready to go eat. We went to Arby's tonight. Last time I went there I didn't feel that great afterwards, and tonight I felt even worse. The food just seems extra greasy, and my stomach feels sick all night. I think I'll be avoiding Arby's from now on, or at least try something other than the chicken/bacon/swiss if I do go back.
Dan showed up right as we got back to the church and all three of us worked on setting up. Joe didn't feel well, so he left a little early. He was coughing and clearing his throat all day too, but I told him I didn't mind because Lucy had been doing the same thing all morning. He asked me to stop comparing him to my dog.
It took Dan and I a good while to get things set up, so I didn't leave until after 9. We didn't even clean up the mess left on stage, but I have so much lighting stuff to clean up anyways from Jingle Jazz I figured it really doesn't matter. I don't know how I feel about running sound this week. Choir and orchestra makes for a lot going on, not to mention two acoustics, electric, bass, piano, keys, and obviously drums. I think there will be alot of choosing what's important and what's not. If anyone's mic has feedback problems, I think that will automatically disqualify them from the important category...well except for the choir...although that would be mildly amusing if you had a special choir week and you couldn't even hear the choir.
When I got home I remembered that I needed to make a chessecake for Kristi's school function. Let's not forget that my last one was a disaster, but this time I had Kristi get the cream cheese out a few hours earlier. My mom also told me it would help if I beat the cream cheese first before adding the other stuff, so that's what I did. I am happy to report that it seems like it turned out great. It is cooling in the oven right now, but last time I checked it didn't even have any cracks in it. The consistency seemed correct this time when I poured the filling on top of the crust, so I think it should be great. I will have to tell Kristi to save me a piece....mmmmm cheesecake.
In other news, I'm thinking about buying a domain name. I figure I will continue this whole blog thing for a long time, and it would make it easier for people to find it. I am trying to figure out though if I can get some web space and make it so that instead of merely pointing to my blog I can have two sections...one that is my blog, and one that is mp3's of stuff that I write. Good thing that I have a .net developer for a boss...I know you're excited Joe, don't try to hide it.
Well...short post, but that was it for today. Tomorrow I don't know what's going on yet. I was supposed to meet with some youth guys for a while to talk about how to improve their sound, but I think the main guy, Nate, is sick with the Flu. I figure I'll text him tomorrow morning and then go from there. We were supposed to eat at Oriental House, and I love talking about sound, so I'm kind of bummed. Anyone up for some good sound tips over oriental food?
