Birthday Weekend Part 3
Shopping (from yesterday)!! + my Yamaha keyboard :)
The celebrations continued tonight. I relaxed all day, which was brilliant, and read a ton. I'm currently reading Updike's Rabbit at Rest as part of my goal to read all of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction books. I haven't tackled it in a while, and I thought I'd dive back into it. It's fantastic so far; I'm about 100 pages in out of 500. It's a hardcover, and a royal pain to carry around, but worth it nonetheless. I also practiced quite a bit today, and I'm happy to say that my Mozart and Bach are in better shape than I had hoped. I last performed them back in late May for my uni exam, and I don't think it will be much trouble to bring back up to speed. The singing/playing I have to do needs serious work, however, and I tackled it head on this arvo. Marty and I went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Randwick. One margarita for me, but still no serious drinking until after Thursday's audition!
