Never tuned in a sauna before...

A busy week! I was at a school prepping their pianos for a big event this weekend and next weekend. They were having heating/cooling issues and the music department was a sweltering 78 degrees! The practice rooms were even hotter. Thankfully, of the 8 pianos I worked on, only 3 were in practice rooms. The rooms are about 6 feet by 6 feet and with the door closed it was positively stiffling!! I tried tuning with the door closed and couldn't do it, so the people in the halls just had to put up with my noise! I hope they get their temperature figured out before the pianos get any permanent damage from the heat.

Not much other news. I can finally watch the wrestling meets without having to peek through my fingers. I still think it looks painful! Also been managing to get a few loose ends around the house tied up. But it seems like everytime I get a few done, something else comes up! Oh well!

This three-year-old!!

My three-year-old is officially driving me crazy! I have to say that we (for the most part) skipped the 'terrible' part of the terrible twos, but she has just been on a roll the last few days. She is NEVER still and it seems like she has to be right where I am - squirming the whole time! Someday I'll miss it, right? Still wouldn't trade her for anything!

Post-holiday update

Been awhile, I know - but we are finally through the holidays!! I had a super Christmas and the holiday season was nice. The tuning got kind of crazy right before Christmas, but that is to be expected. I actually got a call just 2 days before Christmas to see if I could work someone in! It never ceases to amaze me at the lack of planning. Especially some churches I tune for - you'd think that you might schedule ahead since you tune every year at Christmas?? Some people sound pretty put out if I can't come right away during the holidays. I managed to work almost everyone in - I think I only had to turn away one woman who lived way out in the sticks.

But the kids had a fun break and a great Christmas. I couldn't believe all the wrapping paper! We had some fun family time, including a jaunt to Cincinnati and a visit from my brother and his family.

Yesterday Reagan colored herself pink with a highlighter pen right before we were to leave to get her 3 year pictures taken. At least it wasn't nail polish this time! She even colored her eyelids - an amazing feat considering she didn't have a mirror. Just because she is quiet doesn't mean she is sleeping!
