Had originally envisioned a restful easter, but instead is turning out to be a v. v. busy one.
Friday: had to accomplish a million errands and one, since it was a day off. Managed to squeeze a pedicure and some reading time in the Marina, before heading out to the East Bay to look at lofts and to get some shopping done at Ikea. Later in the evening, had dinner with friends before heading home. Heard for the umpteenth time that friends K and M had broken up. But was fortunately too tired to pay attention.
Saturday: 8am at the docks, rigging the boats out. Pretty day out, but the winds were too light and it was low tide. Butt and thighs hurt from jibing exercises. Had afternoon to self, but ended up studying while watching Grease on tv. 7pm call time at church for choir rehearsal. Was a three hour long mass. 18 people were baptised and confirmed. My throat was as sore as my butt and thighs were by the time it was over. Choir director looked terribly stressed and could tell he was on the brink of yelling at us; but he kept his cool. Kinda hard to sing Mozart perfectly when you've only rehearsed it once. Was all good once we got out there... somehow, performance adrenalin kicks in and you start to read the right notes at the right time.
Sunday: 8:30am call time... exhausting. V. exhausted by now. Was supposed to be up by 7am so I could get hair done and pick out what I wanted to wear. Instead woke up half and hour late (snooze does not work anymore), Choir director said easter colors. Red looked pretty easterly to me... wore short red dress... first thing I saw out of wardrobe. Was outstanding today... and I really mean outstanding. People wore lavender, pinks and yellows... yea, easter colors... and long flowy dresses. Oh yes, forget that was also supposed to look somewhat demure. Had possibly the shortest hemline in the 20-35 age group. Thank God, legs were moisturized and nicely tanned from sailing yesterday. Am supposed to go to brunch in an hour.... this is exhausting
