I overslept this morning.

My little eyes opened groggily and stared at the clock to see that it read 8:00 ... which is when I'm supposed to be at the Dean's Office. I obviously was not there. To make matters better, I hadan interview at 9 in the Community Service Center .... so I couldn't wear my crummy jeans and sweatshirts of my normal "I just woke up" days. No ... I had to TRY to be pretty. I still got here by 8:17. I am so pleased with myself. Normally, I'm in a terrible mood after I've overslept. Today, not so much. I'm so content sitting here in my pink sweater and pink skirt, complete with make-up and cute hair. Hooray!

Also, hooray for the concert tonight. Alison and Jeff are coming which is wonderful and marvelous. A lot of people aren't coming .... which is fine, I guess, since there's nothing I can do about it. It's dumb because I shouldn't be so upset, but it really makes me angry that I've had at least 7 performances with the orchestra this year ... several with Slow Kids, vocal jazz, and the million other things I do. It's just really discouraging to have NO ONE show up for something you've worked so hard for ... or even worse, to support other people EVERY time they perform ... and have them not show up to any of your performances. Alas alas ... Alison is wonderful. She spent all evening yesterday letting me sleep at her house, getting me yummy foods and entertaining me because I'd spent all day being sad and cranky for a number of reasons. Expect a happy update tomorrow regarding my interview and the concert!
