Harvest for the Homeless tonight!

I'm looking forward to an evening of music and hors d'oeuvres with my sweetie and my parents and some other good people at the new Hotel Indigo. The Board tells me I don't need to do anything except enjoy myself. what to wear? hmm dress and boots?

Yesterday it rained hard off and on all day. Poor Jaron was out trying to get restaurants to give us gift certificates. Then Mary wanted to see the list and check on everything. I said you'll have to prioritize, tell me what you need first. I was working on the grant proposals, along with other day-to-day stuff. I had him working on the list. Then a man wanted to donate a painting, so she wanted him to drive all the way to the East side and pick it up...

It was a little crazy, but not awful. Our current guests are mostly pretty quiet. There are some colds going around. One Mom has Medicaid for her child. The doctor gave her lots of prescriptions and told her to buy Mucinex for him--over the counter. She tried to explain that she had no money, couldn't buy anything, unless it was prescription. sigh

potluck, choir. I am actually a little disenchanted. Amber chose a small group to sing at the Benevolence market. We made an effort last year to perform there, even though she was on maternity leave. I am a little hurt. supposedly it is about the venue. And I have to be there for the Homeless Shelter anyway. I am thinking it may be time for me to sing with one of the community groups and take a break from UUFA. It is a tossup--I would like more challenging music, but I like the frequent performances and variety of singing for the service. We just haven't been doing much new music this year.

Stayed up until almost 10--and didn't get up until after 6!
