moving on...but first, a break

Today is my last day at this job!! YAY!!!

Okay, got that out of the way. This weekend is going to be quite busy. Tonight, I have a concert with the Wind Ensemble I joined in October. I would like to find an orchestra to play with, though, because playing French Horn in band is boring. I would much rather be playing Euphonium in a band. But anyway, I’m sure the concert will be fine. Tomorrow, I’ll be sitting for the Foreign Service Officer Test for the second time, but it’s the new testing format, so I have no idea how I’ll do. My scores on the practice test have improved, though. I also bothered to study this time. :)

After the test, I’m grabbing my cat and heading back to mom’s place for a few days. Since my new job isn’t supposed to start until the 17th, I figured I’d spend some time with mom, plant the bulbs I’ve been meaning to plant, and just kind of dink around. I also got an order request on etsy to make some special order lace gloves, so that’ll be fun. Since I’m still finishing up the stuff I’m making for my friend K’s baby, I’ll be pretty much crocheted out this weekend.

Hopefully I will have enough money to join a gym soon so I can get rid of this sneaking suspicion that all the muscle/cardio capacity I built up in Singapore is slowly turning to flab.

Excitement!!

I just read online that Stevie Wonder is going to be performing from Aug 23-Sept 20 this year! It's the first time in about a decade he's toured in the US. Now, he's an act I'd like to see live. I bet the tickets are outrageously expensive, though. They go on sale on Aug 11, and I'm sure will sell pretty quickly. He's stopping in Portland, OR and Woodinville, WA, so it's actually possible that I could go. I missed Simon & Garfunkel when I was in Austria a few years ago, and it would be just fantastic not to miss Stevie Wonder. Who is great. And fantastic. :D
